I was under the impression that you couldn't libel/slander a dead person. Mainly because libel/slander is a offence against reputation which dead people don't care much for, but also because once you go against this principle where in hell (no pun intended) do you draw the line.
Where it's convenient to the state. Reportedly in Germany you can easily slander dead people, their estates, their descendants, and other members of their ethnic group. --- Dr. Dimitri Vulis Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
