Technology Law - Website Content

The realm of 'content law' loosely describes the body of law that applies to the operator of a website using content developed by others.

Without the appropriate licences and consents, very little material can be freely taken and used ('scraped') from other websites or publications - despite popular belief to the contrary. This applies to text, graphic and audio material, and is likely to become a growing area for litigation in the years ahead.

The extensive entertainment experience of Herbert Geer's experts in this field - including film and television, radio and music - ensures that everything necessary is done to ensure your web content will be properly protected by law - whether it's your own material or content you wish to use from elsewhere. And we'll help ensure that you don't breach either other people's rights or government regulations.

The aim is to maximise your control and minimise your liability. We can tell you how.
