Explanation:

Defamation is the communication to one or more persons, of an accusation made to another physical or moral person of a fact, determined or indeterminate, that may cause or cause to it a diminution in his honor, dignity or reputation; as long as it is not based on reliable evidence.

The origins in the Anglo-Saxon law of defamation are in the wrongs (harmful statement in a transitory form, especially in a spoken form) and libel (harmful statement in a fixed medium, especially written but also a box, sign, or electronic issue ), each of which gives a right of action.

The fundamental difference between libel and defamation is only in the "form" in which the defamatory matter is published. If the offensive material is published in some ephemeral form, such as in spoken form or sounds, sign language, gestures and the like, then this is defamation. If it is published in a more lasting form, for example in documents, films, CDs and the like, then it is considered a libel.
