Anti-SLAPP Law Cited as Defense in Libel Suit Over Otis Redding Biography
Fulton County Daily Report

Lawyers representing a biographer of Otis Redding will ask a court to dismiss a $15 million libel suit brought against their client on the grounds that the book is protected by Georgia's Anti-SLAPP statute. At issue is whether the biography meets the law's definition of "public interest or concern." Redding's widow and his former business manager brought the suit, alleging the writer included unsubstantiated "street rumors" and lies in his book "Otis! The Otis Redding Story."
I've had a few debt collectors talk about how they felt that some of the things I have posted here on this blog were hilarious.

Well, now I have one for them that really is hilarious.
and here it is

The part that is
so hilarious is that these crack pot idea cookers seem to get the idea that they ought to be able to file federal Rico charges on debt collectors based on their belief that their debt or some portion of it must be unlawful. After all, if a debt collector violates FDCPA then he is unlawfully trying to collect a debt isn't he???

LOL

So therefore they must be guilty of a Rico violation.

I wonder why it is that the boobs who come up with these kinds of harebrained schemes never seem to think to look in the definitions sections of the laws they are trying to promote as sure fire debt collector killing weapons has to say as to what the law applies to and what are the meanings of some of the words and phrases contained within the laws?

I am quite sure that doing so would tax their termite sized brains way too much.
