I asked Charlie to speak with me, and to speak at the conference, because innkeepers often ask me good questions about the ability for anonymous people to possibly (and actually) leave defaming remarks on web sites about their inns.

What protects review sites like TripAdvisor, Yelp!, Amazon, etc. from libel suits, when defaming reviews appear on their sites?

What recourse does an innkeeper have with regard to seeking a judgment against someone who is making false allegations about their property on a review site?

I asked these questions, and more, of Charlie.  Use the player below to listen to the interview. I welcome your comments.
