It seems that all successful businesses have an online presence and operate, to some degree, digitally. Technology can be a blessing but operating online brings a whole set of unique challenges that many businesses and startups may not even think about.
Focused on that area where traditional business meets the internet, or "Internet Law" or "Cyber Law" as some call it, Beebe Law, PLLC can help you with questions like:
- How do I get started with business formation?
- What's a good name for my business?
- What should I include in my contract for my products and services?
- Is this contract with my new vendor in my best interests?
- How do I protect my Trademark or Copyright?
- What do I do with this cease and desist letter I received?
- Do I need a Terms of Service or Privacy Policy on my website?
- Is the new SESTA/FOSTA law going to impact my business?
- How can I make sure my website is ADA compliant so I don't get sued?
- If I host content posted by other people (like comments to a blog, etc.) can I get into trouble if someone does something bad?
- How can I market and advertise digitally without getting into trouble?
- What can I do about that crummy review online?
- How does GDPR or other state privacy laws impact my business?
02/05/2019 | Anette Beebe attends COMO IV: Content Moderation at Scale conference in Brussels, Belgium
Ms. Beebe has been keeping up with the latest trends and challenges that platforms face by attending the ongoing conferences on content moderation. This time the conference was held at the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium! Many platforms were represented including Google, Snapchat, Vimeo, Github, Medium, Seznam, Allegro, Wikimedia Foundation, SoundCloud, and Facebook. Post conference Ms. Beebe explained: "What is clear is that regardless of where the platform is located, content moderation is hard! Platforms are trying to get it right, and want to get it right, but there is no one-size fits all solution which seems to be contrary to popular belief. As Medium's Head of Legal, Alex Feerst, said - there are no "magical robots" that can do the job. You cannot AI your way through all content moderation issues and expect accurate results. Human interaction to look at context is an incredibly important part of the process."
1/31/2019 - 2/2/2019 | ABA's Forum on Communications Law - 24th Annual Conference in Miami, FL
Has the Sun Set on a Free and Independent Press? Along with other fabulous lawyers from around the country, and even outside of the United States, Ms. Beebe attended and participated in a wonderful conference that explored leading-edge legal issues facing media and communications lawyers with an impressive roster of dynamic and diverse speakers and facilitators. In fact, Ms. Beebe was a facilitator for Hot Issues on the Internet Workshops and covered issues surrounding hacking and content moderation from a platform's perspective. She also, with the help of her talented Co-chair from Miami, Ms. Elisa D'Amico, lead an hour long conversation for the Forum's Digital Communications Committee on bogus court orders, false DMCAs, discussed red flags and examined what can be done to combat these improper practices.
11/7/2018 | Anette Beebe attends the Media Law Resource Center ("MLRC") Annual Dinner in New York, NY
Invited as a guest by an international corporate law firm, Ms. Beebe had the opportunity to attend the MLRC's annual dinner. This year's theme was "1968: Echoes of a Tumultuous Year." As described online "[f]ifty years later, the political and social upheaval of 1968 seems all too relevant to today's world." The all-star panel of speakers included Lynn Sherr, Max Frankel, Marvin Kalb, Lydia Pologreen and Geff Greenfield to discuss their coverage of the events of '68; how the country has changed since then in politics, race relations and women's rights; and whether those events might have played out differently in today's media environment. "Simply fascinating!" said Ms. Beebe.
