Another week, another fine...and another lawsuit.

Cohosts Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter get together for a little one-on-one episode to talk about some newsworthy legal matters impacting the two biggest players in our industry.

First, we talk a little about Indeed being sued for patent infringement. Whether the lawsuit has merits or not is unknown at this point, but neither Peter nor Steven seemed to feel that it worthy of getting worked up about. Pun intended.

More interestingly, Ireland fined LinkedIn for ad-related privacy violations and it appears likely that Microsoft, the parent of LinkedIn, not only expected the fine but set aside more money to pay for it than needed and has already pledged to do what is needed in order to be compliant. With 190 privacy laws globally, it wasn't all that surprising to your cohorts that a global player like LinkedIn got its hand caught in the cookie jar.
