SOFTWARE LICENSING: In 'DataDirect Technologies v Marks and Spencer', the UK High Court rejects an argument that wording within a software licence agreement means that maintenance fees for that software need only be paid if the customer elects to purchase software maintenance.
COPYRIGHT: In 'Capitol Records v VideoEgg' and 'Atlantic Recording v Project Playlist', contrary rulings in two almost identical copyright cases, illustrate the difficulty presented to US judges when deciding on the correct venue for hearing cases involving websites.
PRESS FREEDOM: In 'Times Newspapers Ltd v UK', the ECHR rejects a Times Newspapers application that a UK court's finding that it had libelled a businessman through internet publication was a disproportionate restriction of freedom of expression under the human rights convention.
ARBITRATION AGREEMENTS: In 'Kerr v Dillard', a US federal court refuses to enforce an electronically executed arbitration agreement where an employer's inadequate system security procedures undermined the employer's ability to prove that the employee executed the agreement.
MTIC FRAUD: In 'Mobilx v Revenue & Customs Commissioners', the High Court rules that a trader's lack of knowledge of VAT fraud in its supply chain does not mean that its entitlement to reimbursement cannot be challenged.
DEFAMATION:In 'Carrie v Tolkien', the High Court strikes out a case involving defamation on a blog site as in allowing the posting to remain, the claimant consented to publication and no evidence was presented of publication prior to discovery of the posting.
TAXATION: In 'Pitt County v Hotels.com', a US court of appeals holds that an online hotel room re-seller is not subject to hotel occupancy taxes as it does not fit the definition of 'retailers' under the State's sales tax code.
COPYRIGHT: In 'Live Face on Web v Howard Stern Productions', a US district court denies a motion to dismiss the plaintiff's vicarious copyright infringement claim, but dismisses all state law claims as pre-empted by the federal claims.
