Nobody cares !!!! Well, I need to look after legal aspect of user generated content. as publisher we earn our living from the content and intellectual property is one of our assets... I've attend a Juriconnexion.fr event where that kind of topic was addressed and the conclusions of professor Manara from the Edhec Business School can highlight some issues : If your site contain offending content about yourself, you are safe :-) but otherwise you can be responsible to civil law and more... Why ?
The "blogger" or the one that allows user generated content is responsible of the content of his site, the one that provides the content has also his part of responsibility but it's theoretical since you can post anonymous comment/content. Finally, in France, the one that host the site is safe.... That why you'll find a lot of explicit content on their blogging platform ! So, as Publisher, we just need to control that the content is meeting our editorial policy but can we make a commercial product out of it ? Yes if the licence and the Terms and Conditions to post content is explicit. Having said that, who is going to generate content knowing that the site is making money out of it ? Would you ?
