[quote name="FoK"]I think (and I'm only guessing here) that his point is that this site definitely contains examples of libel, since the "reviews" are accurate, as far as they go, but for comically exaggerated effects the authors have a tendency to make statements about the games that aren't technically true. (For instance: Animal Crossing doesn't actually have any Yakuza in it). It's basically true, and it's very funny, but it's technically libel since we dissed the game while saying things that aren't exactly right. Whether it figures as actionable libel is another story. I would say that we currently don't have anything that would stand up as libel in court... we're just (as I said before) comically exaggerating things that really are in the games (well, maybe not the Half-Life preview). I also don't think that there's any point in saying that Caltrops is a parody site, because even if you say that it is that don't make it so. It's not parodying anything, not from any reasonable and especially not from any legal viewpoint. Not that you have any money to defend it if someone sued, but I really emphatically doubt that anyone could (let alone would) sue you over it, especially before a cease-and-desist came down the pipe.[/quote]
