Wow! I never heard about this. It happened only a few years after I was born. Back in '97, probably only the nerdiest of nerds would have cared about it, so I'm surprised that the judge(s) over this case ruled correctly given how new the technology was. Is there an article about it? Seems like a fascinating topic

I think the case was fairly straightforward as it was more about established business law than technology.

The internet was already getting rather important by 1997, but true that it was a couple years away from the general public’s consciousness.
