[ Transactional ] as a Related Elective for those interested in Internet : Social networks, search engines and other online services are often a collaboration between individuals and internet platforms. It's important for an entertainment lawyer and others who license content that appears on-line to fully understand the respective rights and liabilities of the users and these internet intermediaries. General course Description: This course carefully examines the law and policy around Internet intermediaries, i.e., social networks, search engines, classifieds, and other online services. Production and communication on the Internet increasingly takes the form of a collaboration between individuals and Internet platforms. The law, meanwhile, does not always clearly delineate the respective rights and liabilities of users and services. Content providers seek to hold Internet platforms accountable for the copyright violations of third parties. Web companies disavow liability for user-generated content, but still routinely claim ownership rights over the creative output of their users. Federal and state law enforcement agencies pressure Internet platforms to change the nature of their services, and have brought or threatened criminal charges against individuals on the basis of online conduct. This course looks in detail at laws such as the Communications Decency Act, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, as well as relevant constitutional, criminal, and contract principles, in an effort to map the respective rights and liabilities of individuals and Internet intermediaries in an evolving legal and policy landscape. Course Style: A Substantive course teaches the law, theory, and policy in a particular area of law |
