Would TPB be able to bring a charge of libel against the people who bought the case? Or, the indies who use TPB to promote themselves (libel by association?). I know speech in court is protected, but is bringing an action itself capable of being libel?
The obvious thing being - libel is hugely expensive to defend. If everyone promoting bought an action individually it may have an effect. (Hopefully it would just get our libel and defamation laws fixed)
