x-tech ezine September 2006

Send to a Friend

Sep 2006

An 'un-cut' start to the ezine this month: Rob Batty and Earl Gray of Simpson Grierson's intellectual property team consider a recent US decision against companies that provide 'morally edited' versions of Hollywood movies and examine what it means for copyright holders in a New Zealand context.

The 'vice' theme continues into our second article, with Jonathan Lewin and Karen Ngan of our information and communications technology (ICT) group outlining proposed changes to the US legislation that ostensibly governs online gambling. This is contrasted with the New Zealand position.

Finally, Karen Ngan outlines some of the contributing causes of major IT project failures applicable to both public and private sector projects. These are key matters to address in the contract for any major IT project.
