Abstract

This paper analyses the legal liability of Internet intermediaries under European Union law. Liability of intermediaries for the illegal content of their users. It is necessary to determine whether intermediaries should be held responsible for possible unlawful acts that the users of their services may cause to third parties when hosting and disseminating content through the network. The general legal regime for the liability of intermediaries is laid down in Directive 2000/31/EC, on electronic commerce. More recently, other Community rules have supplemented this liability regime in particular areas or, rather, for certain content.
