When the legislation doesn't give you a clear answer in a legal dispute, the courts must decide the outcome, using principles of law, international agreements and more.
When a similar dispute comes to the courts, it is important that the it is treated equally, so precedent is applied.
Another reason for why precedents are important in civil law systems, is that it is a principle of the rule of law that rules be foreseeable. If courst would not follow their precedents, people would not be able to plan their actions according to a clear rule, as they can with precedents.

(http://openoffice.org/) This defense definetly applies when you're using an app that requires IE, but if you're just locked down in the sense that you can't install Firefox, then I recommend that you use portable firefox [mozdev.org].. It's meant for portable usb drives and such, but you can download it to your "personal folder" or what not, to use within the company's network.
I use it at my school, with great success. No installation required.
We have something in Scandinavia (in Iceland at least) called dolus mixtus cum culpa, that is, when your intent is on doing something unlawful, but the results are more serious than you expected (like death resulting from a heist), it is treated the same as if he intended on killing the guy all along.
Article 218 - [If, by means of an intentionally committed physical attack, a person causes another person bodily injury or damage to his health, and he can be regarded as being responsible for these consequences of the attack through intent or negligence, he shall be [...]1) imprisoned for up to 3 years, or fined if there are particular mitigating circumstances.
I first thought you were talking about beowolf clusters, but then I looked up the word biowolf, and found this:
Adventures of BIOWOLF - the bionic boy
As soon as the baby started to cry for the first time after being patted on the back-side, the glass panes in the hospital came crashing down in a million pieces. The mother looked on with immense pride as the doctor pronounced "Your Sound Blaster is now Live!".
He was christened BIOWOLF - Bionic Intelligent Organism With Organic Life Factors, version 1.0 gamma. The beta version having been a modest success at the labs, the inventors were confident that BIOWOLF 1.0g with additional enhancements, especially the bundled Emoticons anatomy plug-in pack would be a sure-fire hit. This time however, it was the real world, not the virtual cocoon of the laboratory.

Hehe, yeah, I too hate it when people do that. Falling on your ass because you slipped on somebody else's seminal fluid is about as bad as it gets, imo.
It's the same here in Iceland, our government is slowly changing our free4all higher-education schoolsystem to an only-if-you-got-loads-of-money-will-you-get-a-good -education type system, a la america.
Ironically, it all started when the first McDonalds opened up, about 10 years ago. Our Prime-minister ate the first hamburger:P

I fount a "Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on measures and procedures to ensure the enforcement of intellectual property rights", I don't think it has been approved yet, but it gives companies in the member states these kind of enforcement rights.
I hope this will not be made into a directive, it goes against so many individual rights.
