Abstract
Courtrooms are busy places. A colleague of mine once termed lawsuits as “chaos”, best to be avoided. However, the courts are a critical component of the legal process and are essential to determining how the law applies to a given situation.
Individual court decisions provide a snapshot as to how the law may apply to a situation. I spent some time gathering a few selected court decisions from over the last several weeks as a modest representation of the range of issues the courts deal with, and how even some of these modest issues may impact the information industry.
