The Socially Aware blog has put together a nice infographic that highlights several key decisions in social media case law, starting with the Sony v.

In light of the SOPA and PIPA protests and discussions of this week, I found the review enlightening and interesting to see how far we have gone in terms of legislating copyright violations and other digital misdeeds. Remember Facebook suing and ultimately crushing Power.com? How about Courtney Love’s Tweet that supposedly defamed a fashion designer?
