An example of online defamation would be what would happen if I were to copy out a defamatory statement by someone and put it in this answer. Of course, I would then be republishing it and would be as liable as the person who first published the defamation.

What is the difference between criminal defamation and defamation?

Ordinary defamation is saying something bad about someone else, when you know it to be false. You can be sued for this. Spreading rumors about someone to ruin their business is one example. Claiming that Joe's Stereo Shop installs stolen car stereos might be an example. Criminal defamation is when the defamation rises to specific allegations that essentially constitute something akin to perjury. It also seems to occur when people form a conspiracy to destroy someone else. Spreading rumors that Josephine's Child Care is run by molestors in order to cause a police investigation might be an example. Here you could get sued and go to jail. Criminal defamation laws are on the books in about half the states in the US but are common in other countries. Usually we hear about criminal defamation when a politician with clout is under attack in the newspapers. The politician convinces a friendly district attorney to charge the editors and writers with criminal defamation in order to chill their reporting. The appeals courts usually overturn these cases. Overseas, such prosecutions are common and are extremely harmful to the press. Criminal defamation has been used [rarely]when people (usually teens) do outrageous things to tear up their peers or teachers on MySpace or Facebook.
