Answer to Question 1

The two most common remedies are money damages (legal remedies) and injunctions (equitable remedies). Monetary damages, including compensatory damages, are the generally available in tort cases, including Internet tort cases. Compensatory damages in tort cases generally include reimbursement for monetary loss as well as damages for intangible elements of injury such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and humiliation. A court may issue an injunction to take down a website or to remove specific content from a website.

Answer to Question 2

An online retailer may be held strictly liable for personal injuries for a product that is defective under strict products liability.
