A deal with the devil?

Article Abstract:

Law firms hurrying to establish a presence on the Web need to be cautious about entering into a weak contractual agreement with a Web site design and/or hosting. An important yet often-neglected part of a contract involves intellectual property. Copyright protection is needed to cover content, the 'look and feel' of a site, and the site's underlying source code. To defend against the possibility of a hacker breaking into a site and accessing sensitive information, a hosting companies security-related duties and responsibilities should be carefully spelled out. Care should also be taken to make a site 'portable,' so that if a hosting company goes out of business, the site's contract can be renegotiated elsewhere.
