I flew to Fiji from Singapore via Australia, requesting vegetarian meals throughout. But not a single vegetarian dish was provided.What’s unusual is that I checked and rechecked every step of the way: by telephone before departure, at check-in in Singapore, at the First Class Lounge in Sydney, aboard the airplane to Fiji, with airline staff on the ground in Fiji, during check-in at the Fiji airport, and once again in the Lounge in Sydney on the way home.Every step of the way my special meals were ‘confirmed’. I even received boarding passes issued from the airlines with ‘VGML’ (for ‘vegetarian meal’) printed in bold.The strangest experience was the last. As I boarded for the flight from Sydney back to Singapore, I asked the steward about my special meal. He confirmed before take-off, ‘Yes, Mr. Kaufman. Vegetarian. It’s in the record.’But during the meal service hours later he came back and said, ‘We thought we had the meal on board, but it is not here. Would you mind the chicken or fish?’ (I ate the fruit.)This whole experience was more entertaining than upsetting, but it certainly got me thinking. The travel agent, telephone reservations s
Well, practice shows that your dream for your website to be featured on national TV can indeed come true, but NOT exactly in the way you imagined!
A couple of questions for you to answer:
- Can your website be used, without your permission, in a broadcast about scams?
- Can your personal photo, without you knowing about it, be displayed in a TV program about illegal activities?
If you think “No way!”, think again – it already happens!
(Real-life case study can be found at http://www.MediaDefamation.org)
And even more – it may turn out to be absolutely legal!!!
You wouldn’t think about it this way, would you? You probably think that if such a thing happens to you, you can sue the TV program and retire young and rich?
What a misconception!
Now, let me elaborate a little on the subject of defamation and defamation law, how it works offline and online.
The relationship between online and offline Media is very young, and therefore, unregulated. In fact, online publications are legally recognized as a public media on its own. This means, a publication of a defamatory statement on your website, forum or mailing list CAN be prosecuted in the same fashion as a publication in a newspaper.
But now, since Internet is considered a public media, any information that is published on your website may be also considered as being in a *public domain*, which means ANY information that is available online may be used by another media publication in their review of other publications. The use of this information will be legal.
What does it mean for YOU?
It means that a TV program or a newspaper can use a snapshot of your website in their publication or broadcast. They can use images of your website, and they are legally allowed to do it!
A TV program, for example, can show pages of your website when talking about the industry trends or to illustrate a topic of the broadcast.
Now, what if the program is about SCAMS in your industry?
For example, what if a TV program decided to highlight fraud in delivering merchandise or services purchased via Internet?
The TV broadcast could show your website in the beginning of the program, as one of many websites delivering this type of merchandise or services, and then go onto discussing fraud issues and interviews with victims of online scams.
It is apparent that displaying the pages of your website in such a context could hurt your reputation, even if the program did not name your website and only used its web pages as background images.

The Rs.1,30,000 crore Indian textile industry is concerned of rising crude oil prices and fierce competition from China in world trade. The textile industry is less optimistic over their performance in coming quarter than it was in the July-September quarter. This is revealed by the third consecutive survey on Business Confidence of Indian textile industry for the quarter October to December 2005, conducted by YarnsandFibers.The man-made fiber industry, in particular, is worried on the crude price front while cotton textile segment is content with the bumper cotton crop and low fiber prices. However, the entire textile segment is worried over competition from China, as it has cost advantage over India. Textile companies want Government policies to be favourable and in line those in the neighbouring textile nations. The Government also needs to work on infrastructure, labour and power reforms and friendlier fiscal and export policies to enhance competition. A majority of the firms surveyed have indicated that power supply and infrastructure bottlenecks would impede their performance in the current quarter. With trade barriers removed the textile Ministry has set an am

The Importance of ConsistencyAs you are building your online business, focus on consistency. Which would you rather, a site that makes a once a week sale of $70 or that makes a sale a day for $10? I would much prefer the once a day sale. Why? Because it is consistency. When I have consistency, I can grow. I can make adjustments, I can track what works and what does not.Focus on making $10 a day, if you are starting from scratch. Then make the necessary adjustments to get that to $20 a day, then $50 a day, then $100 a day. The sky is the limit, from there.But the key here is that you have to have a starting off point, and you have to have something to strive for. And the easiest way to do that, so that it is the easiest to work with, is to come up with daily metrics. That might be a goal of x many subscribers per day or y many downloads of a free report, or z many sales of a $10 product. Once you have consistency, you can begin to grow. If you are selling 2 books a day, double that to 4 books a day. If you are getting 10 subscribers a day, you can double that to 20 per day. As long as you are tracking, so that you know why you are getting t

In previous articles, we discussed the generation of a contact list. This time, we look at one idea on what to do with that list once you have it.The SurveyYour contact list can be used as a great source of information, especially about the importance and need of specific products or services. This type of survey is most effective when asking what are called "probing" questions- questions that cannot be answered by "yes" or "no". Useful questions to ask include:1. The "Who are you?" series of questions. This includes the name of the company, the name of the contact, address, phone number, email, fax, web page, etc. Use this part of the survey to update customer records.2. The "How often do you buy product type A? B? C?" questions. These questions are used to determine customer needs. It can help flush out a "niche" that is currently not being serviced to capacity by yourself or your competitors.3. The "How often do you shop at business type A? B? C?". These questions can be used to determine client buying habits. They are helpful in determining whether your product/service should be available to purchase through a large store or whether yo

This is an uncertain issue.
As we already said, the relationship between online and offline media don’t have specific regulations.
Normally, a media publication is allowed to use any factual content related to a matter of public interest.
Since most illegal activities and their prevention ARE a matter of public interest, the media publication has the privileged defence of *public interest matter*, should you voice your disagreement with the use of your website and decide to sue the program for defamation.
Proving in court that the TV program was defamatory for you will not be easy. You will have to present hard evidence that such a publication could hurt your reputation as the owner of that business, and that there were people who identified you as the owner of the business shown in the program and that the program indeed portrayed you in the way that some people would *shun, avoid or ridicule* you because of the way your business was portrayed. You must also prove that such use of your website was unfair and did not fall under the privilege of *fair comment*, available to Media. You also may be required, depending on the defamation laws in your country or state, to present the evidences of monetary loss due to the broadcast of the alleged defamation.
Defamation cases against large media corporations can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, because of the tactics that those media corporations use to prevent the plaintiff (the person who believes he was defamed) from getting his case to the stage of court hearing. The plaintiff has to spend a fortune on lawyers (you do not want a low cost lawyer defending your defamation case against a large, experienced in legal battles media corporation), before the case is ready to proceed to the court and all requests of the defendant are satisfied. Then another fortune is to be spent on court hearings, which may also be sabotaged – of course, in legally permitted ways.
Even then, the outcome of your defamation case is unpredictable. It will, firstly, depend on your lawyers. Secondly, it will depend on your witnesses, who, by the time your case goes to the court, which can be a few years down the line, can forget most things related to the defamation issue, and therefore appear unreliable. And then the large media corporation still has the privilege of *fair comment* and *public interest matter*.
At the end of the day, if your defamation case is unsuccessful, you will be required to pay the legal fees of the defendant, which will double your legal bill, and can easily reach payments of $200,000
