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. Is reading Batman comics aloud on YouTube with commentary considered copyright infringement?
- A: In general reading books or comics is considered a public performance which does need a copyright license. With that said, there is no automatic scanning of YouTube for readings from books, unlike the automatic scanning that exists for music. So given your small audience, you may be able to avoid being challenged by the publisher over this. If you were challenged you might also have a fair use argument given the commentary and analysis and the non-commercial nature of the use.
- Q. Clarification on CCPA compliance for internet cookies and definition of "users".
- A: The threshold refers to 100,000 California residents, households, or devices whose personal information you collect, receive, or share in a year—even passively through cookies. “Personal information” can include IP addresses, geolocation data, unique identifiers from cookies, or anything else reasonably capable of being associated with a consumer or household. So yes, if your site uses cookies that log IP addresses or track behavior—and those are tied to California users—you could eventually trigger the threshold. Having a privacy policy prepared is a good idea, but automatically-generated policies are not always sufficient, especially if you want to be compliant with the European GDPR ... Read More
- Q. Can I be in trouble for unintentionally visiting a site with illegal content?
- A: As the other lawyer said you should be fine, however you need to take care if you ever travel with the device that you used when you saw this content. When crossing a border, authorities can demand to search your device, and if you refuse, they can retain it or bar you from crossing. When searching devices there have been cases where they will include deleted files and web browser cache files in their search. And in some countries art and fiction are treated the same as real abuse material. So if you do ever plan to travel with this device, at least make sure the history and cache are wiped.
