Provides a range of defenses in addition to those already provided under common law. There might be a cause of action in multiple jurisdictions. It"s important to have uniformity to avoid this. Issues w/ complexity in regards to litigation (?) You need: publication (of material, communication or type of publication to at least one person other than the claimant. It doesn"t matter what medium is used to communicate. e. g. ) the medium can be a statue, so long as the visual of that statue communicates to at least one other person other than the plaintiff. Each and every publication satisfies a cause of action: republication = publication, multiple publication (rule in duke of brunswick v harmer 1849) If you don"t bring your publication to light within a specific amount of time, you are statute barred.
