Legal Question in Technology Law in California
Developing a Private Web Intranet
While the internet is a public network, an intranet is a private network to facilitate communication between members of a particular association. Many profit and non-profit corporations have built private intranets for their members to dialogue about internal issues. How do they legally protect themselves?
How can an organization create a similar web-based environment for members to discuss issues that are important to them while legally protecting ourselves?
What legal pitfalls must we watch out for when hosting a platform for such dialogue?

Re: Developing a Private Web Intranet
They are protected, electronically, by a "firewall" that prevents others from getting into their sytem without a password.
Someone stealing information through "hacking" into the intranet would be liable for theft of commercial secrets.
There are different levels of security that can be used in a platform. If you are hosting this for other companies, you will want to make every effort to make it as fool proof as possible.
