Download or read book The Law of Defamation and the Internet written by Matthew Collins and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Internet is the first truly global communications medium. Anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can publish material to a potentially vast audience located in any number of countries around the world. The Internet is, at the same time, a great bastion of free speech and amedium of almost limitless international defamation.This title contains the first comprehensive analysis of the application of Anglo-Australian rules of civil defamation law to material published via the Internet. As well as addressing the common law rules as they apply in the United Kingdom and Australia, it covers the operation of statutorymodifications of the common law in each jurisdiction, the specific defences applying to Internet intermediaries, the European Union's Electronic Commerce Directive and comparative case-law from the United States. It also contains a substantial treatment of the relevant principles of jurisdictionand choice of law. The work contains a clear and non-technical explanation of how the Internet works and the various ways in which it is used to publish material. Common Internet terms are defined in a glossary. Relevant legislation has been extracted and reproduced.As this is a field in which there are, as yet, few authorities and a large number of untested issues, the author's systematic approach towards the cause of action, defences and remedies, coupled with the frequent use of contextual examples, means this work will maintain its relevance in this fastmoving area of the law. The title will be an invaluable reference for practitioners, Internet professionals, and students alike.
Download or read book Collins on Defamation written by Matthew Collins and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by the widely respected author of The Law of Defamation and the Internet, this book analyses the modern law of defamation in a way that consolidates into a coherent structure its various sources - the common law, earlier statutory reforms, European and other foreign influences, and the changes effected by the Defamation Act 2013. As well as examining the implications of the 2013 reforms, Collins on Defamation dissects, in context, the very large number of ambiguous and contestable questions of construction in, and possibly unintended consequences of, the new law. The book draws on authorities from a wide international research base to explain the application of relevant principles, including the principles applicable to multi-jurisdictional publications and actions involving one or more foreign litigants. As well as providing encyclopaedic analysis of the law of defamation, the work contains detailed coverage of relevant conflict of law principles, and important and emerging related causes of action, including misuse of private information, malicious falsehood, data protection rights, and protection from harassment. Comprehensive tables of recent damages awards, and an extensive set of precedents for common notices and pleadings, are also included. This book is an essential text for any practitioner in the field.

Download or read book Media Law and Policy in the Internet Age written by Doreen Weisenhaus and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Internet brings opportunity and peril for media freedom and freedom of expression. It enables new forms of publication and extends the reach of traditional publishers, but its power increases the potential damage of harmful speech and invites state regulation and censorship as well as manipulation by private and commercial interests. In jurisdictions around the world, courts, lawmakers and regulators grapple with these contradictions and challenges in different ways with different goals in mind. The media law reforms they are adopting or considering contain crucial lessons for those forming their own responses or who seek to understand how technology is driving such rapid change in how information and opinion are distributed or restricted. In this book, many of the world's leading authorities examine the emerging landscape of reform in nations with variable political and legal contexts. They analyse developments particularly through the prisms of defamation and media regulation, but also explore the impact of technology on privacy law and national security. Whether as jurists, lawmakers, legal practitioners or scholars, they are at the front lines of a story of epic change in how and why the Internet is changing the nature and raising the stakes of 21st century communication and expression.

Book excerpt: The third edition of The Law of Internet Speech by Madeleine Schachter and Joel Kurtzberg updates and contextualizes recent developments in Internet law. The book explores the application of analytical models of First Amendment jurisprudence to Internet communications and examines the regulation of Internet content in such contexts as incitement, speech that promotes or facilitates criminal acts, true threats, matters relating to national security, obscenity, indecency, and child pornography. The Law of Internet Speech also examines claims of on-line defamation, including an analysis of ISP immunities under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and claims involving anonymous communications. A section on privacy interests explores the application of common law privacy torts to digital media, the implications of data mining and on-line profiling, and regulatory and statutory approaches to privacy protections. Authors Schachter and Kurtzberg also address proprietary interests in content, including copyright infringement and trademark claims, disputes relating to domain names, and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Application of these concepts is further explored in the context of linking, framing, and metataging. A glossary of Internet terms is also included.
Download or read book The Twenty Six Words That Created the Internet written by Jeff Kosseff and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." Did you know that these twenty-six words are responsible for much of America's multibillion-dollar online industry? What we can and cannot write, say, and do online is based on just one law—a law that protects online services from lawsuits based on user content. Jeff Kosseff exposes the workings of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which has lived mostly in the shadows since its enshrinement in 1996. Because many segments of American society now exist largely online, Kosseff argues that we need to understand and pay attention to what Section 230 really means and how it affects what we like, share, and comment upon every day. The Twenty-Six Words That Created the Internet tells the story of the institutions that flourished as a result of this powerful statute. It introduces us to those who created the law, those who advocated for it, and those involved in some of the most prominent cases decided under the law. Kosseff assesses the law that has facilitated freedom of online speech, trolling, and much more. His keen eye for the law, combined with his background as an award-winning journalist, demystifies a statute that affects all our lives –for good and for ill. While Section 230 may be imperfect and in need of refinement, Kosseff maintains that it is necessary to foster free speech and innovation.
