"Frankly, I thought the idea [of a Certified Scrum Master course] was a bit silly. I didn’t think thousands of people would be lining up to get their certifications.

"In an important first-instance ruling, the UK High Court has upheld a stipulation that providers and customers of paid digital news aggregators should pay newspapers for crawling their stories. [...] The outcome centred on whether the aggregators are really breaching copyright if, as Meltwater claims, they are not passing “copies” to customers.
