This article is just too good and
deserves a repost on the Business & Culture Blog. I am an
Indiana technology lawyer focusing on entrepreneurial law, SaaS
business law and technology law. As such, this article hits
home as it lies at the intersection of social media and legal
process. The article is by Robert Ambrogi and posted on the
IMS
Expert Services blog. I will repost it in 3 parts - all
are worth reading.
What happens in Vegas stays in
Vegas. The same is not true of what happens...

I had every intention today of writing an insightful piece on the
recent Lori Drew decision handed down by District Court in
California yesterday, however, Eric Goldman beat me to it. So, I'm
going to instead give you the link to his blog post on it and send
him a big kudos from the Indiana technology law world.
Professor Goldman's tech and marketing blog (which I recommend to
anyone that is interested in cyberlaw or Internet litigation) is
http://blog.ericgoldman.org/. His blog also has a link...

About
three weeks ago I wrote a post addressing some of my concerns
regarding the

a negative impact on both attracting and promoting growth for
emerging technology...

For my first foray into the world of blogging,
I think the important first step is to answer the standard
journalism questions necessary for any good story, namely, the who,
what, when, where, and why. Sorry for
the length. I promise that future blogs will be
shorter. Without further adieu, here we
go . . . .
Who: This one is easy because I
know a lot about me. My name is Chris
Stephen and I consider myself first and foremost a
litigator. Some people in my field like
to classify themselves...

Let's face it - most
contract terms are boring. SaaS licensors and their customers
want to close deals. They want to hammer out the business
terms and key legal terms and get the contract done. I don't
blame them. Nobody in their right mind wakes up in the
morning and says "I want to negotiate a contract today."
After weeks (or even months) of negotiations over key business and
legal terms, the parties often are left with a few miscellaneous
"legal" terms that seem more of a burden than...

There was a
great post this last
week in the Indianapolis Business Journal's blog on Indianapolis
being a leading Internet marketing software city. Chris
Baggott of Compendium Blogware was interviewed on his thoughts
regarding the market.
Here is an excerpt:
Chris Baggott, who runs one of the
companies developing the software, Compendium Blogware, says
Indianapolis actually has emerged as a center of the budding
industry.
Consider that the city also hosts ExactTarget and Aprimo, both of
which...
