The Top Legal Considerations for Your Website
Posted by Tim Johnson, 27-Jun-2009, Full & Original Article by Simpson Grierson
I thought this article was clear, concise and helpful in terms of what website owners should consider for their website... legally speaking. Published by a leading New Zealand law firm, they talk about the top 10 points on the list according to them, and I'd have to say, I tend to agree! So a summary of the top 10 points are:
- Register variations of your preferred domain name
- Do you need a customer contract
- Communicate trust - and back it up technically
- Do you need a copyright notice?
- Do you need a Privacy Statement?
- Do you need a Disclaimer?
- Define the legal jurisdiction you are operating within
- Exlusion of liability?
- Disputes procedure? Resolution process?
- External linking protection

Asian Domain Name Fraud... evolves into European Domain Name Fraud
by Tim Johnson, 21-Jun-2009, Original Article Found Here
A little while ago I wrote an article on an email that was being distributed by some Asian Domain Name fraudsters. It invovled the fraudsters preying on unsuspecting victims, and attempted to get money from the victims by convincing them that their 'brand' or 'company name' was about to be "hijacked" by Asian companies using Asian domain names. That article I wrote and the research we did obviously became very useful for potential victims performing their own research.
The article I refer to is located here: http://tim.safitech.com/2008/07/asian-domain-name-fraud-warning/
The reason for a follow up article is that it would seem that the fraudsters have now moved on to the European (.eu) region! Little is known about the individuals behind these emails, though we do understand it to be a well networked group of people who are in fact from China or geographically close to China. They use real contact numbers (VoIP) and have real people follow with potential victims who respond to the original email. We suspect that the people who follow up the original email are actually innocently involved and are most probably a hired telemarketing firm who believe the cause and reason for the call is genuine. It is possible that the European version of this fraudulent campaign is a 'copycat' set up.
So, the latest email to surface is as follows:
Dear ***** Team,
Good day to you
