CLE for UNSW August 2019, 'Online Affairs' Reputational Risk, Infringement and Misconduct Online

I say that we are not moving online.  We have already moved.  So have our clients. 

This is the audio from a CLE video I delivered for the fine folks at the University of New South Wales in 2019. 

It is a bit of a "deep dive" into three problems lawyers who advise creators and others with an online presence face, and some solutions to those problems.

It might all sound a little technical and fiddly, but I pride myself on being able to discuss this sort of stuff in an approachable way. I hope you leave with that impression.

Using my loose terminology (which I invented for this talk) we cover:

(a) The “torrent” problem, and the possibility of seeking “site-blocking orders”, whether in respect of the service provider or the search engine; 

(b) The "mystery misfeasor" problem, and how Norwich orders and UCPR r5.2 might have a role to play; and 

(c) The social media (mis)management problem, the danger of comments and the possible safety (or otherwise) of likes.

I hope there's some value here for you with this talk!
