Adlaw By Request : Advertising & Marketing Lawyer & Attorney : Reed Smith Law Firm : AdLaw By Request & KidAdLaw

As I was working away yesterday on a SAS (software-as-a-service) agreement and enjoying a most delicious piece of matzah and chocolate egg (a veritable ecumenical feast), I received a call from a client asking me if I knew why his site was down. I'm sure some of you know where I'm going with this -- the Amazon cloud was down. Sounds chicken-littleseque, right? Actually it's true and this rarity brought down many of the largest and most highly visited sites on the Web, which are similarly hosted out of the Cloud. Please enjoy this LegalBytes post prepared by my colleague, Joe Rosenbaum, and me about this development.
