Interesting. Another term we should familiarize ourselves with is "notice and take-down request". This intermediary liability case is very similar to the one in which CS Waiguru is suing Google.

I suspect this is a topic that will increasingly become pertinent. The Internet Governance system is something few understand and care about.
That is about to change.
Very quickly.
Terms like Third Party Liability, Permission based Marketing, Privacy, Net Neutrality will be something that you will need to bring yourself upto speed with.
Test your Internet Governance Literacy. How many of the above terms are you family with? Who do you think 'controls' the net?
