Abstract

In recent years, awareness of liability for information products and services appears to have grown. Driving this are impulses as distinct as professionalism and fear of getting caught out. Legal and ethical issues are discussed. It is suggested that a commercialised information marketplace is one where individuals are more and more likely to have to take personal responsibility for what happens, good or bad.
