Introducing the Internet Library of Law and Court Decisions

Internet Law Update is a free e-newsletter and is described more fully below. It is the companion to the Internet Library of Law and Court Decisions, one of the web's foremost case digests which provides in-depth analysis of over 410 court decisions affecting those who do business on the Internet. The Library is updated regularly and can be found at http://www.phillipsnizer.com/internetlib.htm.

Court decisions are organized by subject matter. The user is provided with a brief synopsis of the court's decision. If the decision is of interest, a link takes the user to a more thorough analysis, and, where available for free on the Internet, to the full text of the court's decision as well. A full text search engine is also available to assist in utilizing the Library's resources.

Cases analyzed in the Internet Library cover a broad array of topics, including trademark and copyright infringement, use of meta tags, links and framing, click wrap, browse wrap and shrink wrap agreements, the legality of serach engine advertisements triggered by searches containing another's mark, pop-up advertisements, online defamation and gripe sites, domain name disputes, internet service provider liability, the use of subpoenas to ascertain the identity of anonymous online speakers, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, jurisdiction, online gambling, licensing requirements for the operation of an online pharmacy and automobile distributorship, the legality of keying and cookies, use of e-mail in the work place, spam, and First Amendment issues arising out of governmental regulation of the Internet, among others.

The Internet Library has been well received in the Press, being named a USA Today Hotsite, and receiving favorable mentions in the New York Times "Circuits" section, the New York Times "Cybertimes," the American Bar Association Journal, the New York Law Journal, the Florida-Times Union, the Orlando Sentinel and the Lancaster Newspapers of Pennsylvania. My Internet Library has also received a Five Star rating in both editions of Robert Ambrogi's "Essential Guide to the Best Legal Sites on the Web."
