- - a new team to track down people who make anonymous comments about companies online.
  - a rising problem with people making anonymous statements that defamed companies, and people sharing confidential information online.
  - the new team would ensure there was “nowhere to hide in cyberspace”.
  - the numbers of disgruntled employees looking to get their own back on employers or former employers was also on the rise.
  - rogue employees

  - a story from six years earlier about United Airlines going bankrupt was voted up on a newspaper website. This was later picked up by Google News and eventually the Bloomberg news wire, which published it automatically as if it were a news story.

    Could this be considered the new "insider trading" - hmmm. Surely there are issues if it is done maliciously but isn't there a line here?
  - could stifle free speech, and the ability of people to act as whistle-blowers to expose actions by their employers.

    Is it possible to have accountability AND anonymity? Must these be mutually exclusive?

  - If you allow a lot of anonymous debate by people who are not regulated, you can get it descending to the common denominator. If you allow people to register with an identity, even if it’s not their real one, you bring the level of debate up.”
  - There was one case a couple of years ago that we just keep referring back to where a defamatory comment was made and it wasn’t taken down for a period of time. Because of that the host of the website was held to be liable.”
  - the ‘Wild West’ era of the internet was in some ways coming to an end, with firms starting to crack down
  - I think companies are still grappling with whether it’s better to take it on the chin and hope people don’t see the comments, or on the other hand cracking down on everything that’s particularly damaging that’s said online. Maybe this is set to change.”

Legal Experts on How Murdoch's Threats May Impact "Fair Use" Doctrine | BNET Media Blog | BNET on 2009-11-17
- Media industry titan Rupert Murdoch’s explicit threats this week to block Google from searching his content sites, and to sue the BBC for its use of content he says is “stolen” from his sites got me to wondering whether the head of News Corp. has, in fact, any basis in the law for launching these calculated attacks at this time and in this manner.
- Murdoch perhaps does have at least a narrow legal perch to stand on.
- 10 more annotations...
- - four factors in determining whether the reproduction of any copyrighted work qualifies as Fair Use
  - is for nonprofit educational purposes;
  - the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
  - he says he is re-tuning his business model around monetizing his content.
  - he is not trying to grow his audience any longer, he says.
  - he’s trying to shrink his audience back to the people who will pay for his content
  - Therefore Google’s caching of his content would make it free even as he’s trying to charge for it
    Vicki Davis on 2009-11-17
    
    So basically, Google is taking something he wants to charge for and making it free. But my question is, if he wants to charge for it, shouldn't it be bedhind some sort of firewall or is it Google's job to see which sites it is allowed to index? Aren't there certain protocols that make the Net what it is? Certain standards? Isn't one of those the open indexing or crawling of unprotected sites? I'm not sure but hoping someone will respond.
  - Google allows Murdoch, or any publisher, to “opt out” of allowing its pages to be indexed?
  - know how to use the Robots Exclusion Protocol
  - he wants a closer relationship with Google.
