Thursday, February 10, 2011 Internet Law Presentation in Chevy Chase, MD

I will offer a presentation on internet law on Thursday, February 10, 2011 at Alfio's La Trattoria, 4515 Willard Ave, Chevy Chase, MD. The event is a 6:30 p.m. dinner meeting sponsored by the DC Chapter of the Association of Information Technology Professionals.

TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED.

During the presentation, I will address the dos and don’ts of internet use and provide answers to many of the legal questions asked by those who blog, podcast, operate a website, publish an email newsletter, or participate in social media such as:

• How do I protect my original content posted online?
• Do I need permission to post other people’s material?
• Can I depict or mention real people online?
• Can I be fired for my internet activities?
• At what point does my negative online review about a company or product cross the line from legal to not-so-legal?
• Am I safe if I post my negative review anonymously?
• What can I do about negative information posted online about me, my child or my business?
• Is it okay for me to post a review about a product on my blog if the manufacturer gave me a free copy of the product?
• Do websites know more about me than I think they know?
• How do websites get information about me if I don't give it to them?
• How can I protect my online privacy?
