Jane Lambert

Introducethe Issues:

Title to User Generated Content

Forums for continuing the Dialogue

Background
Internet created a whole new range of business opporturnities such as e-commerce and electronic banking and spawned new industries such as web design and domaining
But it also created a whole new range of legal issues that required a legislative or industry response
Web 2.0 offers similar opportunities but presents similar problems

Title to User Generated Content
Photos on Flickr and Twitpic
Films on YouTube
Documents, spreadsheets and presentations on Google
Google’s digital library
Software and business method patents

Liability for User Generated Content
Defamation: does English law encourage “libel tourism” and should it be discouraged?
Intellectual Property Infringement: are the government’s proposals for discouraging file sharing enough
Is it enough to rely on service providers’ standard terms and conditions?

Privacy
Is the present data protection regime sufficient or should it be enhanced with the advent of social networking and other technologies?

Dispute Resolution
How should disputes of the kind discussed above be resolved?
Where should such disputes be resolved?
What should be the remedies?

Continuing the Dialogue
LawCamp Blog
LawCamp “twitter” account
Possible LawCamp conference in the Future?
