http://dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?selected=1153
1) n. to publish in print (including pictures), writing or broadcast through radio, television or film, an untruth about another which will do harm to that person or his/her reputation, by tending to bring the target into ridicule, hatred, scorn or contempt of others. Libel is the written or broadcast form of defamation, distinguished from slander, which is oral defamation. It is a tort (civil wrong) making the person or entity (like a newspaper, magazine or political organization) open to a lawsuit for damages by the person who can prove the statement about him/her was a lie. Publication need only be to one person, but it must be a statement which claims to be fact and is not clearly identified as an opinion. While it is sometimes said that the person making the libelous statement must have been intentional and malicious, actually it need only be obvious that the statement would do harm and is untrue.
Proof of malice, however, does allow a party defamed to sue for general damages for damage to reputation, while an inadvertent libel limits the damages to actual harm (such as loss of business) called special damages. Libel per se involves statements so vicious that malice is assumed and does not require a proof of intent to get an award of general damages. Libel against the reputation of a person who has died will allow surviving members of the family to bring an action for damages. Most states provide for a party defamed by a periodical to demand a published retraction. If the correction is made, then there is no right to file a lawsuit. Governmental bodies are supposedly immune to actions for libel on the basis that there could be no intent by a non-personal entity, and further, public records are exempt from claims of libel. However, there is at least one known case in which there was a financial settlement as well as a published correction when a state government newsletter incorrectly stated that a dentist had been disciplined for illegal conduct. The rules covering libel against a "public figure" (particularly a political or governmental person) are special, based on U.S. Supreme Court decisions. The key is that to uphold the right to express opinions or fair comment on public figures, the libel must be malicious to constitute grounds for a lawsuit for damages. Minor errors in reporting are not libel, such as saying Mrs. Jones was 55 when she was only 48, or getting an address or title incorrect. 2) v. to broadcast or publish a written defamatory statement.

this is indeed multisig.
and you can make it with 5, 7, ... 1001 users if you want, and that would be a great enhancement to your service, because there is no need to trust you, except for the conflict resolution service.

Here is the comment that I've made to another escrow service:
I talked some time ago with a bitcoin core dev who told me that basically, the escrow service is already embedded in the bitcoin protocol.
Basically, you send BTC to 3 public addresses, and it requires only two privates keys to use the output of the transaction.
In this case, the third party can never use the output without the agreement of a second player in the transaction.
In normal use, the two persons using the service won't need the involvement of the third party to complete the transaction.
Are your using the Bitcoin protocol in this way?

I think that's called multisig transactions.
We plan to have this feature soon.

I like your website, fees are very low. Should do well, there's posts fairly often with people requesting escrow fast.
@Hfleer - thanks!
