Copyright licenses have received a lot of attention recently. The internet has created a space that allows anyone to share content across national boundaries and without incurring high costs. With copyright infringement becoming a greater concern, this new environment has caused people to rethink how copyright does – and should – work. Here is a breakdown of the three categories that copyright can fall into, and how each one works.
A state judge in Suffolk County has ordered a mother to make her two children available for Skype online video conferencing with their father as a condition of her move to Florida. The decision marks the first reported New York case in which a judge has ordered a relocating parent to facilitate Skyping -- i.e., the use of Skype conferencing software -- between her children and her ex-spouse as a condition of her move, according to a Westlaw search. 
Buying or replacing computers for staff can be an expensive exercise. We have found that it is more cost effective to give new employees that need computer equipment, a fringe benefit of taking out a 3G contract that includes a notebook computer for a fixed monthly cost.
Gamat sit in sy garage waar hy die laaste goed moet ontruim en bepeins sy lot. Hy't sy huis verloor, sy werk verloor en sy vrou het die kinders gevat en hom geskei. Hy sien 'n kas met wynbottels en loop soontoe.
A few weeks ago Shamaa Sheik published an article in Law24.com which spoke about the importance of online directory listings to market your law firm. We thought that a practical extension to that article would be to see which online directory listings are available for the South African attorneys, what sort of followings they have and what the listing would cost.
A direct quote from a lawyer, in 2002: "I can see the amusement value in these things, but I can't see how they are of any use in a law practice." He was referring to blogs. That was at a time when the number of law-related blogs was still small, and when many blawgers were still finding their sea legs. (It was also the year the word "blawg" was coined, its origin credited to blogger Denise Howell.) 
There's a story told about Jack Welch, former GE president - it might be from one of his books, or it might be apocryphal; quite possibly it's both. The story goes that soon after he took over the company, he called in his vice-presidents and other senior people and advised them that countless smaller companies and start-ups were out there gunning for GE, hoping to take down the top dog by finding the chinks in its armour and exploiting them. He directed his people to locate these companies, identify the disruptive innovations they were coming up with, and prepare defences against them.
The internet is a fascinating place filled with useful information, entertaining media and tools to make your life much easier. Anyone with a computer and internet connection can shop online, socialise with friends, do their banking, book a holiday and access all manner of videos, music, stories and news. 
All too often we follow the pattern of what others have done when designing our own website. One needs to think about what your prospective client will want from your website. I very much doubt that they will be interested in the number of awards you have accumulated over the years; they will be more interested in finding out your hourly rate.
Today's estate agent in SA is fast becoming more aware of the need for systems in their business. The relative complexity of selling and managing multiple properties is administratively intensive and poor controls can lead to loss of sales and loss of income. Transfer attorneys have become accustomed to using software to manage their processes and this reality is now a major focus point for any professional property broker. The next step in this evolution is the connectedness of attorney and agent software, enabling better flow of information and more efficient processing of sales as they spill out of the agents office.
