We Love a Happy Ending... [1]

Earlier this week, we received the good news [2] that travel blogger [3] extraordinaire Christopher Elliott sucessfully resolved the defamation lawsuit [4] brought against him by Palm Coast Travel. Chris found a top-notch lawyer to help with his case through our Online Media Legal Network (OMLN) [5]  (thanks for the shout out to the network [6], Chris!).

Huge props go to Gregory Herbert [7] and his team at Greenberg Traurig for answering the Bat-Signal and bringing the matter to a successful resolution.  It's dedicated professionals like Greg that make OMLN work.

Of course, I would be remiss if I failed to remind all of our readers about OMLN. OMLN is a network of lawyers and law school clinics from across the country willing to offer free and reduced fee [8] legal representation for qualified [9] online media ventures and other digital media creators. OMLN lawyers [10] are available to tackle a broad range of legal issues, including business formation and governance, copyright licensing and fair use, employment and freelancer agreements, access to government information, pre-publication review of content, and representation in litigation.  

So if you find yourself facing a lawsuit over your online publishing activities, drop us a line [11] (Bat-Signal optional).
