Newsweek and International Business Times are under investigation for fraudulent traffic practices used to secure government advertising contracts.

The European Commission is moving forward with the "Digital Single Market" plan, which aims to simplify cross-border VAT rules but also modernize copyright laws. New legal precedents in the European Court of Justice suggest that simply linking to copyrighted material could be deemed an infringement.
