Website Legalities and Understanding the Law
It is amazing how many people are willing to share and even act on what they hear regarding website legal matters.
Think about this...even when a lawyer writes a book, he will have a disclaimer that says what they say is not legal advice. Further, they say that you should speak to an attorney.
First and most important to remember, virtually all that you will hear and be told is only an opinion. When it comes to the law, every word has a meaning and that meaning can change depending on the judge that has to rule on the meaning of what the law says.
If a lawyer is going to protect himself with a disclaimer, why would you want to listen to legal advice from someone who is not even an attorney?
Even what a lawyer will tells you is sometimes relative to how it can be interpreted.
So the best advice relating to website legalities can only come from an internet savvy attorney.
