Does ABC Have a Libel Problem over Path to 9/11?
Law Professor and blogger Michael Froomkin at Discourse. Net writes:
it seems to me that one aspect of ABC/Disney's position has been missed: if the public descriptions of the show are accurate, then the people who made it and those who plan to show it have some serious libel exposure.
Generally in the United States you can't libel a public figure. Plus, libel claims based on fiction are obviously much harder than claims based on assertions in supposed non-fiction. But neither of these bars is insurmountable. And on the facts as reported, they could be surmounted surprisingly easily.
