This Hosting Liability Essentials paper considers the extent to which FE or HE institutions are responsible for content which is made available on their computer systems. FE and HE institutions are obliged to ensure that users are not making illegal use of their internet and email access. They are legally responsible for their own published content and they must ensure that it does not infringe the rights of others. In hosting content ISPs must decide how and when to moderate such content which may affect what legal liability they will incur.
