    Been there. Done that.

  2. DoubleClick = cookie whore by nephren · · Score: 3 · on Cookiegate Explained

    Double Click, aka "Cookie Monster", is infamous for getting into trouble with placing cookies in their banners. Intuit is being sued by users of its Quicken.com website right now because people clicked banners on their website placed by Double Click and this lead to personal data, "including tax preparation and bill paying tools" were sold to third parties. More info on that lawsuit here.

    Cookies can, and often do, store very personal information and can be a breach of security in some cases, but they're not all evil. For the casual browser, cookies can be useful to say the least.

    I know for sure though, I don't want to be caught on Double Click's bad side. (1 2 3)

  3. Re:Not really... by AndrewD · · Score: 2 · on Internet Law Journal Launched

    On the terms of use point, they've got this squirrelled away and almost completely invisible - I couldn't see it linked to from anywhere but the homepage and it's easily missed, so I don't know who they think is going to be bound by it.

    Or, for that matter, how they think the provision of something freely distributed before sight of terms amounts to consideration, but they clearly know NY law better than I do.

    Hey ho. Let 'em go ahead, sue me in NY. See if I care. Because they excluded the jurisdiction of the UK court they'd have to enforce the judgment in...

    (And that, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why any journal claiming to be for the internet as a whole has to look outside the US. Nothing further, your honour.)

    Although I didn't see anything like DeCSS
    nope it gets a sidebar but is behind-the-times and consists almost entirely of links to other site's opinions of the matter.

  5. Internet Law by nephren · · Score: 2 · on Internet Law Journal Launched

    Something like this has been needed for quite some time now. The subject of internet laws is to most people uninteresting and boring, I actually found some of the laws in The Internet Law Journal quite interesting, so not many people know what is ok and what isn't.

    There is a another topic here on /. posted yesterday about a man's company being audited and getting a hell of a beating (http://slashdot.org /article.pl>?sid=00/06/21/228218&mode=thread), and he, or his company, could have avoided all the hassle if they just knew the law's before they started their business.

    I hope more people find this Internet Law Joinal and avoid a mess of trouble.
