Re: is it illegal to copy a email to a blog?

Although I would need to know more facts, it is inadvisable without getting the express waivers/releases by people who are sending you emails. Have these people or a public body already released these emails to the public? This could be an indication that its okay, but I cannot say that for sure without more facts. You have not told me any specifics about the emails, nor the lies told against you.

In any case, you should obtain advice more discretly, by meeting with an attorney. Please do not reply to my message except by email to set up a time to talk further.
