Revocation of an Internet domain name for violations of "netiquette": contractual and constitutional implications
Article Abstract:
The 1996 John Marshall Law School National Moot Court Competition in Information Technology and Privacy Law involved a case brought by a domain name registrant against the corporation charged with managing domain names. The petitioner argued that registration of a domain established contractual rights and that revocation of the domain name was a due process violation under the Fifth Amendment. The respondent argued that no contractual rights were established, that the petitioner's violation of "netiquette" standards constituted a breach, and that it was not a state actor.

Extending the reach of the long-arm statute through the Internet
Article Abstract:
The Florida Appellate Court erred in its ruling in Pres-Kap v System One, Direct Access, deciding an Internet user was not subject to the forum state's jurisdiction. Because the use in question enabled an out-of-state company, through activity in FL, to derive economic benefits and help fulfill an interstate contract, both prongs of the personal jurisdiction analysis were satisfied. Courts must recognize broader definitions of minimum contacts regarding technological change.
