  • In the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
    IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE STEPHEN G. PERLMAN, REARDEN LLC, a California limited liability company, and ARTEMIS NETWORKS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Plaintiffs, Civil Action No. 10046-VCP v. VOX MEDIA, INC., a Delaware corporation, Defendant. MEMORANDUM OPINION Date Submitted: June 10, 2015 Date Decided: September 30, 2015 Matthew E. Fischer, Esq., Jacob R. Kirkham, Esq., Jacqueline A. Rogers, Esq., POTTER ANDERSON & CORROON LLP, Wilmington, Delaware; Neville L. Johnson, Esq., Douglas L. Johnson, Esq., James T. Ryan, Esq., JOHNSON & JOHNSON, LLP, Beverly Hills, California; Attorneys for Plaintiffs, Stephen G. Perlman, Rearden LLC, and Artemis Networks LLC. Peter L. Frattarelli, Esq., ARCHER & GREINER, P.C., Wilmington, Delaware; Attorneys for Defendant, Vox Media, Inc. PARSONS, Vice Chancellor. This is an action by a Delaware limited liability company (“LLC”), a California LLC, and an entrepreneur seeking equitable relief and money damages against a Delaware corporation for defamation. The corporation owns and operates a website that, in 2012, published an allegedly defamatory article about a non-party Delaware corporation that is affiliated closely with the Delaware LLC and the entrepreneur. After the website rewrote substantially the article that same day and admitted publicly that it was not vetted properly, the website published another article several days later that the plaintiffs allege is false and defamatory. Then, in 2014, the website published an article about the Delaware LLC that, in its first sentence, referenced and hyperlinked the 2012 articles, allegedly repeated and enhanced the original statements, and imputed those allegedly false and defamatory statements to the Delaware LLC.
