Trade Secrets and the Internet
6 May 1998
When businesses think about being on the Internet, they're thinking about spreading the word about their business to the world. At first blush, the idea of an "Internet-related trade secret" seems like an oxymoron, but it's not. Companies in the Internet business and businesses that use the Internet need to have a battle plan to protect their trade secrets from theft.

IGN Unearths Louisiana Prohibition Law
21 April 1998
While we've heard of the law before, we had never before seen the text of an internet gambling prohibition law passed in Louisiana in late '97. Thanks to our good friend, I. Nelson Rose, IGN brings you the details of the law. The highlights are the sanctions which offer consumers fines of "not more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned for not more than six months, or both." (Sound familiar?) And, for those involved on the other end (very broadly defined!), they're liable for fines of "not more than twenty thousand dollars, or imprisoned with or without hard labor, for not more than five years, or both." In Louisiana, talk of "with or without hard labor" can be a frightening thought. But, they also have some interesting exceptions. Get the details in IGN. »
