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 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.

- Q. Is "Ageplay" online roleplay legal in Ohio?

And for more safety, use a secure chat app ... Read More
- Q. Impact of Texas bill SB20 on anime and manga due to obscenity concerns.
- A: There are significant political pressures, not only in Texas, to broaden the definition of obscenity and to enforce it more strictly. You are right that manga and anime collectors could be impacted. In 2009 Christopher Handley, a manga collector in Iowa, was sentenced to six months in prison over a manga comic depicting minors. However that manga was far more explicit than Bleach or Naruto. And there are anime shows currently on mainstream streaming services, such as Ranma ½, that contain underage nudity. And in a 2021 case in which a Texas man was charged over obscene drawings, those that showed simple underage nudity - and even implied masturbation in one case, but no other sexual contact ...
