Mostly Internet Libel (Links)

By Robin Hamman on

About two years ago, I started collecting links to posts, articles, academic discussions and case law about internet libel. I've put this into del.icio.us where I've used the tags internetlaw and internetlibel.

I've also made quite a few posts about the subject, and related topics, in the internet libel and law categories of my blog and in August I posted a substantial academic discussion paper about internet libel and, in particular, how it works across legal frontiers.

I've been thinking about setting up something with Yahoo Pipes or FeedRinse that pulls in feeds from multiple sources, slices and dices them up using keywords, then outputs a single RSS feed.

What all this means is that I could have dozens or even hundreds of blogs, journals, news sites, etc all feeding in and only the content that matches pre-selected search terms, such as "internet libel" or "message board + libel", would come out in the RSS that's output.

I need a bit of help coming up with the feeds to populate this though. What sources should I be using for internet libel content?
