Here's an article about the crackdown of online gambling sites. The issue of online gambling is very interesting because it is one of the most obvious infractions of law yet raises the also obvious question of jurisdiction. If a person gambles on a computer located in Nevada but the website he is using is in Nebraska, where is the gambling taking place? The answer to this point is wherever the site is hosted. This article shows that New Jersey, which has been at the forefront of an increasing crackdown on gambling (and perhaps at the forefront in terms of gambling acts) tackled these football bookmakers where they were based, which is the most sensible tactic at their disposal. However, when considering the issue of taxation, would the act be considered to have taken place wherever the user is (presumably anywhere) or in New Jersey? This is a tricker question which has not yet been answered.

This article is about students challenging the legality of the 

plagiarism-catching site turnitin.com.  Their complaint raises some

interesting questions about the legality of such services designed

to fight plagiarism.  The main complaint here is that each paper

submitted by students is archived, which the two students in this

case claim is a violation of copyright law.  Interestingly, this

case could cause ramifications at educational institutions where

the site is a popular tool among instructors worldwide.  Ironically,

copyright law is intended to prevent people from using others'

original works and taking credit for them.  However, these

students, who apparently did not plagiarize, may be giving

future generations of plagiarizers a helping hand by challenging

the practices of the plagiarism policing service.  The two

students are suing for $150,000 for each of the six papers

published on the site.  Those could turn out to be the

most rewarding classes they ever took.
