ABA Withdraws Consideration of UCITA

Posted by michael on from the happy-happy-joy-joy dept.

Cognito writes "AFFECT, Americans for Fair Electronic Commerce Transactions, is reporting that the American Bar Association has withdrawn its consideration for endorsing a resolution to approve UCITA, the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act. This is a good thing. It's interesting to note that a recently filed law suit would have been prohibited if UCITA were endorsed and adopted as a common law."

    Thank goodness the submitter told us that. For a second there I thought I was going to have to read the article and form my own opinion! :-)

    So the ABA is just protecting its litigation industry?
