> No, but a statement of fact about a company that is not backed by public data is slander.

whether slander or libel or whatever, this article states how much time NYT spent on it:

http://source.mozillaopennews.org/en-US/articles/how-we-made...

so much for backing it up. the author stating he did it in an hour, might be true or a boast, that's a claim about himself not the NYT, doesn't matter if it's true or not.

i can see how they can ask him to remove the video (and the author complied), but I really don't get on what grounds they can ask him to remove all mentions of NYT from his site.
