Title: Can you be sued for leaving a bad review?
Post by: mikejl46 on February 21, 2013, 10:22:24 AM

I read reviews all the time and I see many bad reviews of products and service. I was wondering, can a person be sued for giving a bad review of a company on the web?

Here is what I went through with one article service. Can I get sued for having this info of my experience with this company on the web?

You can get sued any time by anyone for any reason if you live in litigious America.

With that said, I seriously doubt that the company you're dealing with is going to sue you when they apparently are scraping copyrighted articles from other people's websites.

If you paid them with a credit card, you should request a refund through the credit card company instead of wasting your time trying to get your money back with this article spinning company.

I did a Paypal dispute and lost.

I'm surprised you lost the dispute. And sorry to hear that because you seemed in the right on this to me.

I don't think you have anything to worry about as you have everything documented, it is a review and you don't see movie companies suing reviewers who get on national TV and say it was the worst thing ever don't waste your time or money, and it falls under freedom of speech.

However, the only exception to this rule would be if you were reviewing or speaking unkindly, but truthfully about Linda Ellis as she would file a temporary protective order against you for stocking and harassment. ;)
