Description
This course examines the regulatory regimes for online media and content. Approximately half the course is devoted to content control by reference to intellectual property laws, and half examines other laws (such as defamation, tort and specific regulation of online content) which impose liability for or otherwise control supposedly harmful content. Throughout the course, various themes recur, such as: the liability of ISPs and other third parties for actions of others; the role of technology in providing protection; challenges for the law from a technological viewpoint; co-regulatory and self-regulatory models; and the cross-border nature of online media.
