Injunctions v Damages (The Age of the Internet) Old Battle of Remedies Revisited

UTA KOHL*


Abstract

The Internet raises many challenges to existing laws. However, there has not been much attention devoted to the issue of remedies. In this new digital environment we may find that extraordinary remedies such as an injunction, may need to be re-examined and reassessed. This article looks at some of the policies and practical implications involved in deciding the most appropriate remedies for a Digital Age.
