From Ars Technica:
Imagine you just purchased a shiny new wireless router from Amazon, only to discover that the product doesn't work as you anticipated. To vent frustration and perhaps help others avoid the same mistake, you leave a negative product review-but some of your claims ultimately turn out to be incorrect or misleading. Now the company's attorneys want to sue you for your "illegal campaign to damage, discredit, defame, and libel" it. Are you going down in flames? Or can you say what you want on the Internet? As with many areas of law, the answers are nuanced and complicated. Our primer, however, will help you avoid the obvious pitfalls.
The article contains advice from defamation lawyer Lee Berlik and free speech attorney Paul Alan Levy.

This seems to only apply to USians, right? They're all batshit insane and corrupt anyway so if they have to go through these measures to freely speak their mind, no matter what level of ranting is involved, I would scrap that advice and just:
1. leave the US for a reasonable country where folks aren't destroyed with the support of their government for simply speaking their mind
2. ???
3. Profit!
