There has recently been a fair bit of drama about Google’s patent about generating landing pages instead of sending users to websites.

Who should be directly liable for online infringement – the entity that serves it up or a user who embeds a link to it? For almost two decades, most U.S. courts have held that the former is responsible, applying a rule called the server test. Under the server test, whomever controls the server that hosts a copyrighted work—and therefore determines who has access to what and how—can be directly liable if that content turns out to be infringing. Anyone else who merely links to it can be secondarily liable in some circumstances (for example, if that third party promotes the…

Business banking is a little different from consumer banking. Our master list of the best online banks around is surprisingly short on business checking accounts with no monthly maintenance fees, minimum balance requirements, or monthly transaction limits. Also, most business bank accounts impose transaction limits and demand hefty minimum balances to waive high monthly maintenance fees (also known as monthly service fees).

And it’s a stark contrast to the consumer banking world, where the best free consumer checking accounts cater to individuals and joint account holders who aren’t swimming in…
