いわゆる「配信サービスの抗弁」について

抄録

"Wire-service defense" is the law theory that a newspaper publishing news items from a wire-service company untouched should not be responsible for libel. This theory has been formed by court decisions in USA. In Japan, there is no provisions of it, nor judicial precedents approving the theory directly. But, considering usefulness in practice, we had better approve it to a certain extent, I think.
