[thelist] Framing offsite content

Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Hi Jack

The main legal non-precendent is the Shetland Times -v- Shetland
news case from about 3 years back. It's a non-precendent cos it
was settled out of court, but the crux was that one of the above was
putting up headlines linked to the other's stories. But because the
site was in frames,  it appeared that the 1st site had written the other's
content.

There have been some other cases recently in the UK about property
sites ripping off each others' databases by slurping up the public site,
but I don't remember the outcome.

Cheers
Martin

Subject:  [thelist] Framing offsite content



I'm meeting Monday with some clients who are interested in a portal and I
need ammunition on the ethical and legal problems inherent in framing other
people's content on their site.  I know there are some good links on this
out there, but preliminary searching isn't turning them up.
