Stanford Center for Internet and Society
In the heart of the Silicon Valley, legal doctrine is emerging that will determine the course of civil rights and technological innovation for decades to come. The Center for Internet and Society (CIS), housed at Stanford Law School and a part of the Law, Science and Technology Program, is at the apex of this evolving area of law.
eBay v. JoeBay.org
CIS represents a young man who publishes a fan site about his friend (coincidentally a former Stanford student) named Joe Bay at JoeBay.org. The domain name attracted the attention of the on-line auction company eBay who sent the client a cease and desist letter claiming trademark infringement. CIS took on representation of the case and responded to the demand letter. Initially frightened into taking the site down, the client now continues to publish his fan site.
