The name "click-wrap agreement" describes contracts executed online without paper or physical signatures. Instead, one party proposes the terms, and the other simply "clicks" on a button indicating agreement. Typical uses of click-wrap agreements include establishing terms for the download and use of online services or software, or acknowledging a website's terms of use.

Choice of Law in Cybyerspace
For companies doing business on the Web, it has become standard to state in the website's terms and conditions of use that users who have a dispute must pursue such claims within the state in which the company is located, and pursuant to that state's laws. From the company's perspective, this makes sense, as fighting lawsuits in fifty different states, and even overseas, could prove prohibitively costly and strategically undesirable. Consumers have argued that the system is unfair, however, as it requires a user to bring a claim far from home, even for a small dispute.

Sign on the Dot-Com Line (Aug 2000)
After years of talk, electronic signatures are finally becoming a reality. A new law goes into effect October 1, 2000 which will facilitate the use of electronic signatures to secure electronic transactions. The term "electronic signature" has become the generic name for what is actually a wide variety of means of authenticating the identity of parties to a transaction. One strength of the new law is that it is broad enough to embrace the plethora of electronic signature verification mechanisms, rather than promoting the use of just one.

The Ins and Outs of Online Ads (Jul 2000)
Until now, the rule for online advertisements and disclosures was that the same basic principles of fairness and honesty which apply to other media were equally applicable online. That policy lacked any detail and did not provide any substantive guidance to online merchants and advertisers. As a result of this gray area, unscrupulous advertisers exploited the ambiguity through online practices that ranged from misleading to outright fraud. The government has intervened in severe cases, but until recently, no affirmative policy existed.

It’s a Jungle Out There: The New Amazon E-Patent (Apr 2000)
Hot on the heels of its controversial "One-Click" patent, Amazon.com may have struck gold again with a newly issued patent relating to its system by which other websites send its customers in exchange for a commission. These so-called affiliate programs are a common technique used among e-commerce websites to increase traffic and product sales. The new Amazon patent could prevent Amazon's competitors from using the method, or as an alternative, enable Amazon to charge a license fee for its use. A third possibility is that Amazon will be reluctant to step up to enforce the new patent for fear that a court might find the patent invalid. Amazon spokespersons have thus far declined to tip their hands as to the company's intentions.

Rethink That Link: Can a Link Be Copyright Infringement? (Feb 2000)
Website operators prize their ability to provide a list of "useful links" or even to link directly to other locations containing information which may be helpful to visitors. A recent federal court ruling in Utah, however, has created a stir regarding this right, held sacred by denizens of the Internet. In an ongoing lawsuit, the court issued a preliminary injunction barring two critics of the Mormon Church from posting on their website the Internet addresses of other sites containing unauthorized copies of a Mormon text.
