Media Liability Insurance 06/17/2005 03:45 PM

Online Publishing Risks Create Need for Libel Insurance: Interesting article about liability insurance for online publisher. Essentially, these policies will cover you if someone sues you for something you wrote.

The need to publish in "Internet time" further increases the risks for online publishers. The public now expects to read about news online as it happens, thus affording little opportunity for the type of extensive editing and fact-checking procedures typically employed in the offline world. Bloggers generally post to the Web without any review or oversight by a third-party.

[...] Typically, the minimum limit for a media policy is $1 million. For larger publishers, coverage up to $100 million can readily be placed. Premiums for media policies can start as low as $1,500. Deductibles generally start at $5,000 for a $1 million policy.

Let's test this: Bob Johnson from Sheyboygan, Wisconsin kicks puppies and tortures kittens. That's right Bob, I'm talking about you.

Insurance Company Offering eBay
Insurance
11/17/2003 04:17 AM
Everyone has heard about various eBay scams, and it's making people increasingly nervous to buy or sell products on the site. So, along comes an insurance company to try to help alleviate some of the problems. They're offering a form of eBay insurance, though it might not work the way you would expect. It's targeted at eBay power sellers who are willing to give up a small percentage of each sale for the right to display a "BuySafe" logo. The logo is supposed to link to a site that will verify that the logo has been approved. The insurance company (Hartford) then insures that the buyer will either receive the good - or the money they paid for the good will be returned. Of course, they'll only handle claims that occur within 30 days of the sale, so if the seller keeps telling you to hang on a little while longer, you might be out of luck. Also, eBay offers their own service like this, but the fine print is a killer. While the service promises to refund up to $1,000, it isn't $1,000 per purchase, but $1,000 per seller. So, if (as did happen) a seller with such a logo scams people out of a million dollars, the company would split $1,000 among all the victims. Not particularly comforting.

Legal Liability For ISPs Revisited


Legal Liability For ISPs Revisited 04/19/2004 04:15 AM
Last month we wrote about the ISP in Pennsylvania who had their serve rs seized for providing a Usenet tool that some people were using to access child porn. Now, the law is pretty clear ISP liability on such things. The liability falls with those who actually possess the child porn, and not the ISP used to access it. This is for a few very good reasons - including the fact that passing liability on to the ISPs would basically require them to first analyze every packet that went across their network. This, obviously isn't practical. Now, the Associated Press has picked up on the story and are running their own article with more details about the potential legal ramifications of the case. Unfortunately, because it's focused on the third rail issue of "child pornography" many people are going to miss the legal importance of what's happening and focus on why it's important to stop child porn. That's absolutely true, but the way to do that is to go after those actually responsible for the child porn and not the ISP that people used to access it. This is yet another case where people are going after enabling technology that has plenty of legitimate uses, rather than going after those who actually broke the law.

"...a libel lawsuit against a business professor who posted a student's essay to the web to start a discussion. The problem was that the essay detailed the story from one of his students talking about how a company, Ben-Tech, had allegedly pushed him to take confidential materials from Siemens, where he was employed at the time. While posting the paper to the internet was mainly for class discussion only, Google found it, and that helped Ben-Tech find it, and decide that it was libelous."

US federal court exempts peer-to-peer
clients from copyright liability
08/21/2004 11:25 AM

After months of hearings and consideration , the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that makers of peer-to-peer computer software (" P2P ") are not liabile for damages concerning copyright infrigement.

The decision hewed to the 1984 Sony v. Betamax ruling , which exempted videocassette recorder makers from copyright infringement, arguing that a tool isn't necessarily dangerous if some of its uses are actionable. Instead the court recommended that intellectual property owners pursue individual infringers. Additionally, defenders of the p2p software argued that the decision preserves privacy rights for users.

Organic farming, the systematic conversion of land to certified practices that ensure food safety and security from the farm to the table, a comprehensive and fully traceable system, is developing rapidly throughout the world. According to the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movement’s study The World of Organic Agriculture: Statistics and Emerging Trends 2005, 36 countries achieved organic mega-country status in 2004, meaning that over 50,000 hectares of certified organic land are currently being cultivated. In total, over 26 million hectares of land are currently certified worldwide, generating over $25 billion in revenue in 2003. [PRWEB Jun 3, 2005]

Start-up launches Linux legal protection

Open Source Risk Management plans on Monday to begin selling Linux users protection against copyright infringement claims such as those levied by the SCO Group.

The New York-based company is launching the insurance-like offering after a six-month study that compared Linux with several versions of Unix. The evaluation uncovered no copyright problems with versions 2.4 or 2.6 of Linux's heart, or kernel, a finding that contradicts SCO's legal attack on IBM, AutoZone and DaimlerChrysler.
