I stumbled upon a libel case that you say you are facing.
I would like to help you by extending my unsolicited legal services for free.
But let me just say that while I have handled libel cases, blog-libel is something new to me, as it is generally new in law practice.
That sparked my interest.
I am a blogger myself but a crude one. I am still groping in the world of blogging.
I assume you have already have engaged the services of a lawyer.
That’s alright. That shouldn’t be an obstacle in extending whatever (free) legal counsel that I can provide you.
I do not know exactly why you were sued.
But as I understand, you were sued as a (web) host, not as the writer of the defamatory article.
Also I am not sure whether you were sued criminally or civilly.
If sued criminally, there is some novelty in your case and it will provide a new perspective of several provisions of our libel law particularly Article 360 of he Revised Penal Code.
I am not prepared to accept that a web host is similar to a “publisher” (in terms of causing the publication or exhibition)
In my limited knowledge of blogging, I see a webhost as someone passive, as opposed to a publisher who has control in the publication of “writings”
Anyway, I hope to be informed more about your case.
I have done lectures abot libel and some of the talk materials have been posted in my blog.
In any event, please view my offer to help as part of a concern of one eagle to another.

With the help of blogs many people can express their thoughts and ideas and at the same time make some money to have an additional income. It is great to have this type of communication that reflects life and works.
