ISP Liability in Singapore: Lessons For Canada?
AbstractThere has been much discussion over the past few years concerning the liability of Internet Service Providers ("ISP's") for the transmissions of their subscribers, and much of it has highlighted the generally opaque state of the law on this point. The author considers a relatively recent case in Singapore, which now provides statutory protection for ISPs, as a helpful precedent. He argues that unless clear and precise legislation is introduced with respect to the exact parameters of ISP liability, every ISP risks possible exposure to liability no matter the nature and the extent of its monitoring activities. |
