From the federal government,
law enforcement's guidelines to search and seizure of computers and computer related equipment. A bit
technical, but an excellent overview of what the government will, and will not, seize if they suspect
criminal activity
Contracts for
the purchase of computer hardware and software are as varied as the products themselves. A purchase of
a $3,000 pre-packaged system can be closed with a handshake. This article examines the issues.
The need for software
development and licensing agreements with third party customers is obvious. However, there are also
internal issues in the software development team which should be covered by appropriate agreements.
These agreements should be put into place before development work begins. If a disagreement arises
after the work is underway it may be too late to avoid costly litigation and unexpected losses.
The purpose of this special issue is to gather provocative essays concerning issues that present

A 20-year-old
computer hacker pleaded guilty to federal charges of infiltrating sensitive computer systems, including
those at Stanford University and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.
When negotiating your website
agreement, it is important to consider several factors: Who will own the copyright to your website?
What happens if service is interrupted? Who is responsible for maintaining and updating the website and

Sending an unsolicited
facsimile advertisement to a Georgia lawyer could land the sender in court. Junk fax class actions are

the law," said attorney W. Gregory Dobson, who's filed yet another case under the Telephone Consumer
Protection Act, which prohibits advertisers from sending unsolicited faxes.
A former employee floods his
employer's servers with e-mail criticizing the company and urging some 35,000 employees to quit. The
