    Default Is This Website Legal?

    My question involves defamation in the state of: Washington

    There is a website http://thedirty.com. It's a website run by one individual who goes by an alias. It works by people submitting a picture of someone with a malicious comment, which is then posted for the general public to see and then make their own comments about, most of which are extremely hurtful. From what little legal knowledge I have this seems like obvious libel as it is a 100% defamation of character.

    Does anyone know if this guy is really legally allowed to maintain this website? If not, what can I do to begin getting it shut down?

    thank you in advance
