Libel / Slander

[Cryogenic]

I am thinking of creating a blog linking to some articles written by other people. If the articles are slanderous / libel. Could I be threatened with action?

Yes/No?

Libel is written defamatory comments.
Slander is spoken defamatory comments.

Just so you know the distinction.

And no, you couldn't.

Whoops, thank's for clarifying

Crickey, that would open a minefield with people innocently linking to genuine material.
