NYCPHP Meetup

[Kristina Anderson]

There's been a firestorm of public criticism over "el cheapo Indian 
purveyors of crappy half a**ed code" both in general and specifically 
against various individuals, and for good reason.  Warning someone 
against this sort of thing might even be considered a public service in 
some cases.

So I think there might be a huge difference, legally, between doing 
that, and actual disparagment of anyone's competence.  

Besides...it's impossibly expensive for them to sue anyone in America 
for disparagement and loss of income -- and impossible also for us to 
sue them for delivery of crappy code, because they're in India.

Do you want to be responsible for someone not getting work, and ending 
up homeless on the street, because of your personal opinion about their 
work, which may or may not be valid?
