Bob, @ratspike help me out here - is nobody allowed to show a projection of Internet pages to a group of people? How would one ever supervise/ enforce/ manage that? Since the Internet is available to all of those people individually, isn't it available to them as a group?
Would the laws vary in different nations? Under those circumstances, would the laws of the U.S. apply because our site's hosted there, the laws of Canada apply because it's owned here, the laws of the nation where it's being shown apply, or the laws of the nation from which the OP made the posting?
Just interested in all of this because it's an area about which I know little or nothing. Perhaps our legal beagles will chime in - you may actually be one of those.
Fascinating area about which I'd love to learn a lot more, but my understanding has always been that once I upload it, I've lost control of it in the same way that when I broadcast something, it's private all the way to the tip of my antenna and after that, anyone can listen to it or see it. Canada's Supreme Court for one, made that decision back in the '80s as I recall.
Thanks for chiming in!
