Legal Protection for Copyrighted Material Online (Feb 2001)
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act provides some new approaches to protect copyrighted material on the Internet. In particular, for sites which employ products or services to prevent unauthorized access to copyrighted works (such as video, audio, text files, or computer software) or which use a digital rights management system to identify and control access to copyrighted works, these laws allow for lawsuits (and in some cases file criminal charges) against those who are violating these sections.

Legal Guide: Use of Trademarks Within Metatags (Apr 2001)
Metatags are HTML code contained in a website but not visible to Web users. Search engines use "descriptive" and "keyword" metatags to identify sites that correspond to terms entered in the search fields. Many companies list their trademarks, such as the company name or names of its products or services, in their website's metatags. This is especially useful if Web users are likely to know a company's trademarked product, such as Post-Its, but may not know the company's name or domain name.

Fanning the Flames: Introducing Two New Top Level Domain Names (Jun 2001)
Just when you thought you had registered all the domain names you needed to protect your company's interests on the Internet, ICANN, the non-profit corporation that oversees the administration of the domain name system, has decided to pave the way for a brand new domain name gold rush. ICANN recently announced its approval of the new .biz and .info top level domain (TLD) registries. In theory, the new TLDs are a new opportunity for legitimate concerns to stake their claim on some appropriate online real estate. In reality, we are more likely just to see two new battlefields for domain name disputes. The only real winners will be the domain name registrars who stand to rake in some serious cash, regardless of whether the new TLDs prove to be a blessing or a curse.

Domain Name Disputes: Pick Your Battles…and Your Battleground (Jan 2002)
Domain name registrants and trademark holders seeking a forum in which to wage a domain name dispute have only a few options. In late 1999, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) created a domain name dispute resolution system, and already more than 5,000 complaints have been filed by trademark holders seeking to gain control of domain names which they believe infringed their rights. This system, the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), provides for neutral third party arbitrators to preside over such disputes. However, these non-judicial proceedings may be biased in favor of trademark holders, and such decisions remain subject to review in the courts.

Preventing Domain Name Registrations From Lapsing (Mar 2002)
Domain name registrants are well aware of the issue of cybersquatting, which is the practice of registering a domain name for the purpose of extracting a fee from the "rightful" owner in exchange for its transfer. Another peril poses a more persistent, if less controversial, risk. That peril is that a valid domain name simply may lapse and become generally available, possibly without the registrant's knowledge.

Lawyers Versus Spammers (Apr 2002)
Bulk commercial email has become a common practice in business promotion. For the senders, the practice is a quick and inexpensive means of reaching a large audience. For the recipients, "spam" is almost always an intrusion and a nuisance. Legislators in many states have responded to the public outcry with laws designed to bring some accountability to the spammers and some recourse for the recipients. In California, the bounds of the anti-spamming law may soon be tested in court.
