Two parts -
a) it wouldn't necessarily need to win, defending libel is vastly expensive in this country. It is economic sabotage.
b) for the indies promoting they do have a valid use - I would imagine the argument would be along the lines of 'our promotional vehicle is being blocked due to piracy, thus the implication is that our material is pirated which in turn implies we did not produce it'
(I wasn't being completely serious with the suggestion, I should have made that more clear)

That just seems mad - surely telling the truth shouldn't be a problem. I imagine the dubious cases are where someone does something illicit but not illegal, and that gets aired? Such as having an affair (accusations of serial adultery, for example).
Sorry - I know this is cultural ignorance, but I am interested in wht may be true and libellous.
