    About this ebook

    The second edition of Social Media Law is substantially updated, reflecting new case law and legislative developments. Social Media Law examines social and new media issues through the lens of law and policy. With the recent explosion in social networking and the use of social media and new media, it is essential for attorneys and law students to understand the trends in these new platforms when advising clients of the potential risks and pitfalls of social media and social networking use.

    In six comprehensive sections—copyright and fair use, freedom of speech, business law, in the courtroom, privacy, and cybercrime—Social Media Law addresses the current and pressing issues in this dynamic area of law:

    Privacy, anonymity, and accountability in the context of social networking

    Sources and privacy issues faced by journalists

    The future of journalism and publishing in the context of new media

    The intersection of social media and the First Amendment

    Social media issues in employment law

    Social media and education law

    Copyright and fair use in the context of new media

    Peer-to-peer file sharing

    The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and the proposed PROTECT IP Act

    New media and its impact on mass communications laws

    Social media and litigation-from "tweeting" jurors (and jurors who "tweet") to messaging witnesses to "friending" judges

    Bloggers, user-created content, "citizen journalism," and the like

    Social media-related cybercrime and its prosecution

    The intersection of social medial law and new business models, and implications on business law and contract law

    Virtual law practice and the role of social and new media in representing clients, specifically in the business of law practice and in issues of professionalism

    The new edition will cover a wide range of recent court decisions; privacy issues regarding employers and employees on social media; and social media directives issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Federal Drug Administration.
