Re: Clickwrap License Case (fwd)--not the first one!

[David_Mirchin@silverplatter.com]

Hello,

Just to let you know that this is NOT the first case to hold click-wraps
enforceable.  The Sixth Federal Circuit held two years ago (July 22, 1996) 
in CompuServe v. Patterson that a click-wrap was enforceable.
