Two words scott,

slander \Slan"der\, n. [OE. sclandere, OF. esclandre, esclandle,
escandre, F. esclandre, fr. L. scandalum, Gr. ??? a snare, stumbling
block, offense, scandal; probably originally, the spring of a trap, and
akin to Skr. skand to spring, leap. See Scan, and cf. Scandal.] 1. A
false tale or report maliciously uttered, tending to injure the
reputation of another; the malicious utterance of defamatory reports;
the dissemination of malicious tales or suggestions to the injury of
another.

libel \Li"bel\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Libeled (-b[e^]ld) or Libelled; p.
pr. & vb. n. Libeling or Libelling.] 1. To defame, or expose to public
hatred, contempt, or ridicule, by a writing, picture, sign, etc.; to
lampoon.

IMHO, it appears that NewForce is willing to sue to protect their
business. ISP's in Canada have been held responsible for their users
webpage content. I am surprised that you still have an account anywhere
in Ottawa!
