Introduction
This research allow to make a comparison between what is discussed on the web and what really arrives to the court. If some people are losing something (money, celebrity, ecc…), who are these people?
Web pages analysis vs. Case Law
Look at the finger, not at the Moon
How to read the visualization
The display is composed of two bars charts: the most spoken media on webpages are positioned on the left, the more involved media in legal cases (Case law) on the right. The display is sorted in descending order according to the list of webpages anaysis. This allows an immediate comparison between the average of the two areas.
How it has been done
After producing preliminary graphs on Excel, it was decided to utilize the tool Illustrator.
The infographic’s aim is to compare the two different areas, the casual Google's web pages and the legal Case law. This allows you to contextualize the dispute from a judiciary poit of view.
Each media has a different color to make the comparison more accessible and immediate.
Findings
The infographic emphasizes the gap between what is being discussed on the web and what actually is brought to court. If online is discussed above generic media and music, in court most of the cases deal with illegal file sharing of movies and porn. The chart is sorted in descending order according to the list of Google: it is not accidental that case law seems to be put in ascending order instead. It is clear that those who take the court way is not those who talk so much on web pages.
