Updates

Checking in on a couple of previously mentioned lawsuits:

Milberg Weiss has a page discussing its Dickey v. Universal Music Group case, concerning "certain music discs [which] have been rendered unreproducible or unstable for use in many computers and disc players...," including a form to be used for reporting such discs.

Still no news since June 14 from the 321 Studios "News" page. (Earlier notes here and here.)

No Bots Allowed?

There's a good Wall Street Journal article by Phyllis Plitch from 9/16 on the trespass to chattels doctrine (subs. req.), and specifically about Bargain Network and its dispute with Homestore, settled earlier this year. Don't forget to keep an eye on Intel v. Hamidi for the California Supreme Court's take on related issues in the context of unsolicited email.
