Sports Illustrated had this piece on its website today:

“Tiger Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren, has filed a libel lawsuit against an Irish magazine story that included fake nude photos of her and claimed that she appeared on Internet porn sites. If the lawsuit is unsuccessful, Tiger plans to simply buy the mag and shut it down.”

Murray Rothbard believed that there should be no libel laws, as one does not “own” one’s own reptuation. (A reputation is what others might think about someone.) However, Murray certainly would have supported Woods’ Plan B. A private property solution!
