1) Get article written about you, linking to page on free hosting saying nice things about you

2) Change free hosting page to say something nasty

3) Sue for libel

4) Profit

no need for ???


Depending on what's at stake, it may be possible to prove that changes were made after the article was written, IF the free hosting keeps - and makes available - reliable access logs.
