The end of the last century brought us Internet access in the workplace. While it's clearly a great tool in the office, it can cause problems too. Here are some tips for keeping your business out of trouble online.
Let's start with the most basic concept. The Internet isn't some lawless subculture that exists outside of the "real" world. ... (read more)
Apps on Tap9 November 2000
I need to get my company off the expensive software upgrade rollercoaster. How do I do it?" The answer may be that you find the right application service provider (ASP).
In English, an ASP allows your company to rent software and hire a third party to run it. In theory, this reduces your costs and reduces your need for an IT workforce. ... (read more)
Hacker Kid2 November 2000
You remember Jonathan James? He made national news a couple of weeks ago. You know, he's that nice 16-year old young man sentenced to juvenile detention for hacking into computers at the Pentagon, NASA, BellSouth, the Miami-Dade school system and many other places. That's pretty funny. Right?
Can you ... (read more)
Amazon and Privacy26 October 2000
If you own an e-commerce or other type of online business, one of your most valuable assets is the information that you've collected about your customers. Like any business asset, you should use it to help you turn a profit. Caution is in order though unless you're

After that "look" went away, they would typically ask me two questions. ... (read more)
One-Size-Fits-All Approach to Tech Contracts Will Fail5 October 2000
Horribly written contracts for tech deals cross my desk every day. They are lawsuits waiting to happen.
When a lawyer writes a contract, he should be writing a document that tells a story about the deal, albeit with a tilt toward his client. Often, what I see isn't a tilt, it's illiteracy.

Have you ever had the feeling that your outsourced tech project would never stop growing? Have you ever felt like it'll never be finished? Your project may be suffering from "scope creep."

Consider Letters of Intent Carefully21 September 2000
Letters of Intent are always non-binding documents. My clients are always telling me this. Apparently, it's what their Uncle Charlie told them. I have nothing against Uncle Charlie, but he's wrong. A Letter of Intent (LOI) could be the beginning of the end.
Over the last few years, being a technology lawyer has evolved into a practice with heavy involvement in the world of venture capital. ... (read more)
The 'Norms' of IT Contracting12 September 2000
The world of computers and information technology (IT) has developed some unusual norms in warranties and allocating risk. In other industries, they might seem absurd, but not in IT. As long as you understand the significance of the way IT contracts are done, you can come to a fair deal.
As a preliminary matter, let's clarify that I'm using the broad term "IT" in a broad sense. ... (read more)
