If Mark Prince is in any way liable for the words he publishes about
Future Shop, it is not out of the law of defamation or libel.  The law
of defamation permits persons to be compensated for injury to their
reputation.  I have been unable to find a case in which a corporate
plaintiff has been able to advance a defamation suit, and it is my
belief at this time that relief is unavailable to the Future Shop
under the law of libel.

Althouth there may be other legal frameworks for action against Mr.
Prince, (torts such as intentionaly interfering with a contractual
relationship), defamation is inappropriate.
