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.

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."

The catch is that he was using someone else's wireless access point to access the illegal material. While the owner of that access point was never charged with a crime, the incident highlights a new concern about Wi-Fi security: If someone accesses your company's wireless network without permission, are you liable for...

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.
