I spoke at the Brooklyn Creative League earlier today, and the question, “Isn’t it true that there’s no regulation of the internet?” came up. So once again, I had to debunk that myth.

So how can you create an e-commerce website that doesn’t become a breeding ground for lawsuits? For starters, have a look at “Careless With Your Business Website? Don’t Get Sued.” written by my colleague, technology lawyer Mark Grossman, Esq. Also check out my article on Website Terms and Conditions at GreatBusinessLawTips.com.
