[Vision2020] He's Baaaaaaack . . .

[Paul Rumelhart]

The current nosuperwalmart.com site doesn't appear to be hosted by the U 
of I.  I was wondering if there was an employee page that preceded the 
domain name or something.

If the University is not hosting the site, then the complaint must be 
that an employee of the University worked on it.  If they were told to 
work on it as normal performance of their duties, that's one thing.  If 
the employee was working on it using University computers and/or during 
paid work hours, then at best you have  an employee breaking the rules 
of computer usage at the U of I.  That does not make the University or 
the State liable for what they were working on.  If they are doing it on 
their own time, they have every right to do so. 

So, does this suit have merit?  Any official hosting of the site, or 
employees being paid specifically to work on it by the University or the 
State?
