Jeremy Malcolm
Tech-savvy New York attorney specializing in IP, Internet & AI law and policy
I am Jeremy Malcolm, a tech-savvy attorney who was admitted to the New York Bar in 2009. I offer legal services remotely, covering all areas of law with a particular focus on intellectual property, Internet, and AI law. My deep understanding of emerging technologies allows me to provide strategic guidance on complex legal issues that arise at the intersection of law and innovation. My practice includes copyright, trademarks, privacy, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance in the digital landscape... but I thrive on the diversity of my practice, so yes I can also handle your divorce, will, or criminal defense.
I am adept at advising startups, creators, and tech companies, combining legal acumen with technical insight to deliver effective solutions in an evolving legal environment. I am also the founder of AskLex.ai, a unique AI-enabled online legal advice service that allows you to have AI legal answers reviewed by a real lawyer.
I was first admitted to practice law in Australia in 1996 and later in New York in 2009. I am the author of "Multi-Stakeholder Governance and the Internet Governance Forum" (2008), and I serve as the Chair of the Center for Online Safety and Liberty.

- Q. Can I use Metallica lyrics in my YouTube channel description for comedy content?
- A: If you're just quoting that excerpt, then this would likely qualify as fair use. It doesn't use a substantial part of the original work, and it's for a transformative purpose that doesn't compete with the original.
- Q. Received a cease and desist email for alleged defamation on Facebook, unclear legal standing.
- A: UK defamation law is very different from US defamation law and much more favorable to plaintiffs, and for that reason, a British defamation lawsuit cannot be directly enforced here. An American court would have to review it (essentially trying the case over again), with the different standards that apply here - including the First Amendment. For that reason, you are correct to surmise that you probably don't have much to worry about.

But since you are not claiming any affiliation with the original manufacturer, their product is simply counted as your materials. However, this also means that you are counted as the manufacturer, and need to comply with laws on:
* Ensuring the safety of the product.
* Labeling it correctly.
* Providing the required ingredient disclosure.
* Keeping a Product Information File (PIF) or equivalent documentation.
In particular, under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act ... Read More
