Answer 1

First, it all depends on the state/provinces/countries involved. All laws vary by jurisdiction, so what is required depends on where the website is located, and who its primary intended audience is.

Let's look at US laws. Freedom of speech and the press allows for a great deal of expression, with certain exceptions. A person cannot make direct threats, or reveal classified state secrets, or incite people to commit illegal actions. Providing information about potentially illegal action is a close call, which all depends on exactly how things are worded, and what the likely effects of any given posting are.

Legal disclaimers are like bandages. If the harm caused by the site is minor, then the disclaimer might be enough to prevent the site from being at risk. However, if the site crosses one of the many legal lines, then no amount of disclaimers will stop it from bleeding to death.

There are specific legal steps that can be taken to reduce legal liability. These depend on the nature of the site, and the state/provinces/countries involved. Because the issues can get complex, your best option is to consult with a licensed attorney. If you can't do that, go find a book written by an attorney which has specific information about what you can do. Nolo Press (www.nolo.com) is a good source for self-help legal aid books.
