Is MySpace Really Mine? Licensing, ownership, and infringement in Web 2.0 Clicking through Terms of Use and Terms of Service agreements is as easy as adding a friend to your network, but some users (and website owners) have learned lessons about copyright infringement the hard way. This panel will explore the best ways to clarify who owns what and for what purposes. For copyrighted content, the panel will outline methods for reaching agreements that foster non-infringing uses and avoid litigation, and will highlight unique challenges facing UGC sites under European law. The panel will also examine IP enforcement strategies through the use of state-of-the-art technologies and forensic tools. Moderator: Jon Frankel, Partner, Bingham McCutchen LLP Panelists: |

Reputations on [the] line: Resources and remedies for managing your cyber persona Free speech and privacy rights collide in a world populated by anonymous critics and cyberbullies. But the attacks are not always from the outside. The long tail of the Internet ensures that we, at times, may become our own worst enemies, based on the content we post on blogs or the friends we keep on social networking pages. This panel will explore legal recourses for victims of online gossip and rumor, as well as for those hoisted by their own petard. From the website owner perspective, the panel will identify strategies for verifying user identities, restricting troublesome content, responding to harmed parties, and limiting legal exposure.
