article is somewhat unclear edit
The article gives two definitions, but I'm not entirely clear on what they mean, or what the modifier "criminal" is intended to mean in them. As I understand it, in common-law jurisdictions at least, the term "criminal libel" distinguishes libel that constitutes a criminal offense from libel as a tort prosecuted in a civil suit. Is that the intended meaning? --Delirium (talk) 08:38, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
