David SmithI have a legal question for the attorneys on the board.
If I were to post something in a thread on a chatboard that could get me in trouble and it can be traced back to my computer, then I can be held responsible (liable), correct?? I mean, each computer has a unique IP address, right??
How about, if someone else has access to my computer and they post something and it can be traced to my computer, can I still be held responsible?? I mean, it is my computer but THEY wrote the message.
How about if I were to dictate something over the phone to someone else and they used their computer to enter what I wanted to say? What if I even had them sign my name to it?? Would the person who entered the message on their computer and posted it on the chatboard get into trouble or would the person who dictated what was said get into trouble??
Just wondering,
David
