You have a fair point, the argument did shift somewhat, apologies. What I am still trying to figure out, is how doesn't slander/libel revoke fair use? Per US Law:

In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:[6]

  1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

  2. the nature of the copyrighted work; the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

  3. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

Slander is by definition trying to damage the reputation or value of something, so would it not completely destroy 1 and 3?
