The Law

Law on the Internet

Laws relating to broadcasting such as defamation, contempt, copyright and trademarks apply equally to the Internet.

It should be noted that our online services are subject to the laws of any country where they are received and if we break or infringe these laws we may be legally liable. With copyright and trademarks, it may be possible to clear material for use online.

The Internet can pose difficult legal problems. If in any doubt, seek advice from the appropriate Legal Department.
