Internet advertisers and licensing

Group member Fred Salzer posted two cases of interest to publishers of real estate advertising and information.

"In a legal victory for online free speech, Magistrate Judge James R. Muirhead of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire ruled yesterday that real estate advertising company ZeroBrokerFees.com may do business online without having to first secure a real estate broker’s license."

Here's a similar California case from 2004:
"The State of California announced late last week that it would not appeal a victory by Internet publisher ForSaleByOwner.com that struck down California’s demand that websites obtain a real estate broker’s license to publish real estate advertising and information."
