This document discusses several online legal and ethical issues. It begins by defining libel as a published defamatory statement that harms a person's reputation through false statements of fact. While the laws of defamation apply online, websites are generally protected from lawsuits by section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. The document also discusses copyright law, fair use exceptions, issues around using images from the internet, and ethical guidelines for online journalism. It provides examples of gray areas around using mug shots and reporting on embarrassing events.
This was designed as a very brief overview for students in violation of Copyright Infringement to review before taking their online exam in order to have their internet reinstated on campus.

The Intellectual Property (Unjustified Threats) Act 2017, July 2017, Kathleen...Browne Jacobson LLP
Earlier this year, the Intellectual Property (Unjustified Threats) Act 2017 was given royal assent. It is expected to come into force later this year.
Currently, rights holders and their lawyers can be sued for threatening an alleged infringer with a claim for patent, trade mark or design right infringement. The various rules governing this are discordant and unclear. The risk of threats is a significant one which often alters the balance of power in negotiations and strengthens the hand of alleged infringers.
The Act clarifies the law and harmonises the scope of what rights holders can say, without the danger of a retaliatory threats claim, to alleged infringers at the pre-action stage.
In this webinar, we discuss upcoming changes to the law. It is important that rights holders and their representatives understand how the threats regime can be both a sword and shield in IP litigation.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

2. Online legal and ethical issues
Libel is a defamatory statement (harms the
reputation of the other person) that has been
published to at least one other person. The statement
alleged to be defamatory must also be a false
statement of fact.
Burden of proof is on the plaintiff
Can I be sued for something I put on the Internet?
3. Can I Be Sued for Something I Put on the Internet?
Yes. The laws regarding defamation apply to the
Internet as they do to more traditional media.
However, federal law protects Internet service
providers (ISPs) and other interactive computer
services from many lawsuits.
The Communications Decency Act section 230, which was part
of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, immunizes computer
service providers.
4. Discussion forums
Several courts have extended the protection of ISPs
under section 30 of the CDA to media organizations.
Unless the website is the author of the posting, the
site is not liable for the content.

8. Copyright
Copyright provides the owner the right to control
how a creative work is used. A copyright is comprised
of a number of exclusive rights, including the right to
make copies, authorize others to make copies, make
derivative works, sell and market the work and
perform the work.
9. Copyright & the Internet
Copyright protects web pages, e-mails and postings
to discussion groups. A website’s HTML is
copyrightable.
You should always assume that anything you
encounter on the Internet is copyrighted– images,
cartoons, video, etc.
10. Fair Use
An exception to copyright is a provision called fair use.
Copyright law recognizes the right of educators, journalists
and others to use some portion of copyrighted works for the
purposes of education, scholarship, research, criticism and
comment. There are four “tests” in the fair use provision that
you can use to help assess whether you can use a copyrighted
work without permission.
The purpose and character of the use
The nature of copyrighted work
The amount and substantiality of the portion used
The effect of the use on the potential market for or value of the
copyrighted work
11. Images and Creative Commons
U.S. copyright law does apply to ALL IMAGES you see on the
Web, on any Web page. So it is absolutely NOT okay to copy an
image (photo or otherwise) from somewhere online and use it.
The image does NOT need to have a copyright symbol or a
copyright notice to enjoy this protection. All published works are
automatically protected by this law — and that includes ALL
images online.
Some people have chosen to allow limited use of their Web-
published work — that is, they have given you permission in
advance. They do this by posting a Creative Commons license; on
Flickr, for example, you’ll see tags on the right side of an
individual photo page.
12. Ethics
Guidelines from the Online Journalism Review:
The old rule: You can't cover something in which you
are personally involved.
The new rule: Tell your readers how you are involved
and how that's shaped your reporting.
The old rule: You must present all sides of a story,
being fair to each.
The new rule: Report the truth and debunk the lies.
The old rule: There must be a wall between
advertising and editorial.
The new rule: Sell ads into ad space and report news
in editorial space. And make sure to show the reader
the difference.
13. Use of music
You can’t use music unless it is expressly offered for
public domain use.
You must get express permission from the copyright
holder.
