  • "I can’t recommend more highly the services of Mr. Loren Molever of Hymson Goldstein and Pantiliat , P.C. I received a letter one day finding myself in a defensive posture which could have cost me a tidy sum of money. I immediately called Loren and he assured me that he would handle everything and not to worry. It was a great feeling to know I had nothing to worry about. With Loren helping me I had total confidence and never once felt fear over the situation. He handled everything intuitively, just how I wanted it to be handled. He wrote a letter that impressed me so much, really bringing to light the human element of the matter which I believe is the reason it turned in my favor. To have such a wonderful advocate, who cares, knows me so well and does such a great job……..I can’t find words enough to say thanks! Thanks so much for taking care of me."

    Contract - Not Copyright

    By David Goldstein, Esq.Businesses that use the Internet to market their goods and services often approach our firm to help protect the content and integrity of their sites. We advise them to use all means at their disposal, copyrights, patents, and contracts. A recent decision from the Central District of California highlights the importance of those website Terms and Conditions that no one seems to read.

    In Ticketmaster v. Tickets.com, 2003-1 Copr. L. Dec ¶ 28, 607 (C.D. Cal. 2003), Ticketmaster sued Tickets.com for appropriating information from Ticketmaster’s website. Tickets.com used an electronic “spider” to gather information about Ticketmaster events. The spider would find a relevant website, copy the contents onto random access memory, eliminate the material not in the public domain (such as Ticketmaster’s trademark and unique copy), and copy the material in the public domain (such as the date of concerts, the artist appearing at the concert, and the location, as well as prices and times of the event). Notably the court found that the copied content was not protected by copyright because it was not original to Ticketmaster. The only cause of action that survived was one based on contract.

    The contract arose from a notice posted on Ticketmaster’s website. Ticketmaster placed a notice on the home page of its website warning that anyone going beyond that home page agreed to the Terms and Conditions of the website. Anyone using the web pages beyond the home page agreed that they were only going to use them for non-commercial uses. Ticketmaster claimed that Tickets.com breached a contract formed by clicking to go beyond the home page. That contract claim was the only one that survived a summary judgment.

    The court rejected the notion that uniform resource locators (the website addresses) are copyrightable. It rejected the idea that the momentary copying of material on Ticketmaster’s website that qualified for copyright protection was a copyright violation. It reasoned that the momentary copying of such things as Ticketmaster’s logo and material unique to Ticketmaster into the computer random access memory and subsequent almost instantaneous erasure of that material was a fair use.

    The decision is only by one of the many federal trial courts. More definitive law is yet to be written. The case, however, reinforces the counsel we have been offering to all of our clients: Use all of the means at your disposal to protect your website content.

    We can assist you in drafting terms and conditions for website use and to provide the contractual protection the Ticketmaster court recognized for those clients who use their websites for business-to-business or business-to-consumer sales. We look forward to being of service.
