Court Watching September 6, 2011

Spanish court has ruled that linking is copyright infringement (see Michael Geist post on the upcoming SCC case considering the same).

Court of Appeal for Ontario has ruled on the question whether domain names are property.

Presentation 1 at the ABA on cyberbullying in schools contains many references to cases in the US. Presentation 2 focuses on the issue from the Canadian perspective.

I did a quick search on cyberbullying in CanLII and did not come up with any cases, but do note that The Public Schools Act, CCSM c P250, Part 1 (Manitoba) has included that cyberbullying as one of the areas that must be identified, as unacceptable, in a school’s code of conduct.

Another ABA presentation look at social media in the workplace in Investigating and Forgetting on the Web: Issues in the Internet and Employment and Labour Law.
