Unfortunately, if you do business on the web, you’re more than likely going to need a lawyer. I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen a post on WebmasterWorld that asks about legal questions and gets “talk to a lawyer” as a response.
The Law Office of Michael N. Cohen, PC is one of the places you can turn to. He’s the kind of person you would go when you get a letter claiming that your website must be shut down immediately because of (insert bizarre reason here).
Another common situation that occurs is someone steals your website content. Many webmasters don’t know what to do when this happens. The first suggestion is to ask them. Some people will fix it once they’re caught. But if they won’t and your content is of any value, getting in touch with a lawyer who knows about Internet law is a must. At least you can find out whether you’ve got a leg to stand on or whether you’re out on a limb and might as well give up.
With all of this, it’s important to find someone who’s familiar with internet law. The same firm that helped you buy your home or write your will may not have someone well versed in Internet law. Be sure you’re dealing with someone who knows what they’re talking about.
