Editor's Notes

  1. Check employment agreement Don’t develop anything related to your employer’s business or prospective business. If you do, don’t use the employer’s equipment or work on it during working hours. Analogize to having an affair.
  2. Century 21 case: Zoocasa was found in breach of copyright and in breach of terms of use of Century 21’s website. No fair dealing defence.
