In 2000, CRC sued WRI, WRI president Stephen Wolfram, and author Eric Weisstein for what they considered a breach of contract: that the MathWorld content was to remain in print only. CRC believed that it had bought the entire site, including entries written by volunteers, not just publishing rights. The site was taken down by a court injunction. The case was later settled out of court, with WRI paying an unspecified amount and complying with other stipulations. Among these stipulations is the inclusion of a copyright notice at the bottom of the website and broad rights for the CRC Press to produce MathWorld in printed book form. The site then became once again available free to the public.
