Answer:

Option A. MDC should bring a lawsuit against "John Doe" and use the authority of the court to obtain the identity from NuView.

Explanation:

A statement is considered defamatory if it tends to harm the reputation of a person or company such that it lowers that person or company in the eyes of the community or deters third persons from dealing with the person or company.

This would include statements that expose the subject to hatred, ridicule or contempt or reflect unfavorably on the personal morality or integrity.

In this case of defamatory statements about MDC, MDC should first find out if the statements are actionable or not under law, then file a lawsuit against "John Doe" (an anonymous party, typically the plaintiff, in a legal action). If it is, NuView will be made to give the identity of the anonymous poster through the authority of the court.

Therefore, the option that best suits the question is option A. MDC SHOULD BRING A LAWSUIT AGAINST "JOHN DOE" AND USE THE AUTHORITY OF THE COURT TO OBTAIN THE IDENTITY FROM NuView.

maw [93]

Answer: The price that Liliana will pay for shipping the furniture may be higher than the amount she saved.

Explanation:

Liliana wants a new furniture for her apartment which she found on the website of the manufacturer. From the information given in the question, we were informed that she will save $500 when she buys from the manufacturer directly.

From the information provided, the deal is good since she'll save $500 but the only thing that might stop her from making the purchase is when the shipping fee is more than the $500 she'll save. In that case, buying the furniture isn't really worth it as other options may be considered.
