First. Coyright aside is a valid comment. This implies that I agree that there is copyright infringement. That is not my point...so I am simply deflecting all of the the flames about how serious copyright infringement is. (But judging from your response, this attempt was a failed one).
And on to the other points. The title does slam iFriends. It doesn't say "Webmaster infringes on our copyright"..it doesn't say " Someone is stealing our material". It does say "iFriends better get this turned off".
Libel, slander..whatever...my point remains. What is accepted as a normal way of doing business in this industry wouldn't fly for a second in the "real" business world.

I dont think the thread was intended to slam ifriends , i certainly didn't get that from the thread.
Lars choice of words may not have been the friendliest , but in no way is it "blatant slander"
Demanding something isn't slander, you may not get what you want , but it certainly isn't slander ( besides slander is spoken , libel is written )
He is simply warning them in no uncertain terms that they are now aware of profiting from stolen content and need to stop it.
