[QUOTE="Emiricol, post: 429744, member: 469"] A news outlet can not be *successfully* sued for quoting portions of an email they've actually received, even if they aren't even involved in the conversation - as long as they get confirmation of authenticity by one of the parties involved. News outlets (definition probably determined by case law somewhere) are protected in their right to publish newsworthy items. I dealt with this myself about two years ago. RJ opens himself to damages, libel and the laws regarding B.S. lawsuits, as a number of historical precedents have proven. EDIT - and unless you have a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), even if the news outlet IS involved in the email conversation you can't do a thing about it, all other factors being equal. And NDAs are generally not worth the paper they are printed on. It is HARD to sue news folks for publishing news - that pesky constitution and all those pesky statute and case laws, you know...
