SCL Event Report: Foundations of IT Law – Module 2: Internet Law: "Chris Marsden explained that much of his presentation was heavily based on a chapter in his recent book, the Oxford Bibliography of Internet Law (OUP, 2012) and would focus mainly on the liability of intermediaries rather than individuals.
In analysing the position under the E-Commerce Directive 2000, Chris noted the dangers for internet service providers (ISPs) of having actual knowledge of content, and the desirability for them of acting as 'mere ciphers'. Should ISPs engage in any 'active' filtering, they lose the protection afforded to them by Article 14, so a position of 'masterly inactivity' (except when instructed otherwise by law enforcement agencies) is the safest default position" 'via Blog this'
