International Libel and Privacy Handbook
The International Libel and Privacy Handbook is a nation-by-nation summary of libel and privacy law, pulling together contributions from legal experts working on these issues around the globe.
Charles Glasser, media counsel for Bloomberg News, has pulled together contributions from legal experts working on these issues around the globe—from Western and Eastern Europe to South and North America to Asia and Australia.
There are also thematic chapters on issues of global concern including:
international media law and the Internet;
special issues for book publishers;
enforcement of foreign judgments in the United States and Europe;
the limits of fair use and privacy in the UK and EU.
REVIEWS :“Contributions by legal experts in Europe, Asia, and the Americas
explain the risks publishers should know about prior to publication,
what steps editors and publishers should take to avoid legal conflicts,
and what defences are available should they be confronted with a claim.”
Human Law, Law, Technology and People
“An invaluable global perspective on libel law. Offering up a
study of the libel laws of various jurisdictions in Europe, the Americas
and Asia, the book addresses key issues on the preventative action
editors and publishers should take to avoid legal conflicts, and the
defences that are available if confronted with a claim…offers a
refreshingly practical and logical perspective on international libel
law.”
The In-House Lawyer
“This book should be an international legal life-saver. If you are
a publisher, editor, sub-editor, reporter, webmaster or lawyer, this is
a reference book which you should keep easily to hand. It could help
save you a great deal of trouble and expense, by helping you to be
forewarned and therefore forearmed.”
