Deferred Revenue Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 8 – Revenue Recognition For The Traditional Business, proceeds from the sale of subscriptions for newspapers, court rule books and other publications and other services are recorded as deferred revenue and are included in earned revenue only when the services are provided, generally over the subscription term. Advertising revenues are recognized when advertisements are published and are net of commissions. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for the accounts receivable. The Technology Companies recognize revenues in accordance with the provisions of ASC 605, Revenue Recognition and ASC 985-605, Software—Revenue Recognition . Revenues from leases of software products are recognized over the life of the lease while revenues from software product sales are generally recognized upon delivery, installation or acceptance pursuant to a signed agreement. Revenues from maintenance contracts generally call for the Company to provide software updates and upgrades to customers and are recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Consulting and other services are recognized upon acceptance by the customers under the completed contract method. The Company has elected to use the completed contract method because a customer’s acceptance is unpredictable, and reliable estimates of the progress towards completion cannot be made. Only after a customer’s acceptance of a completed project are customer advances generally no longer at risk of refund and are at that point considered earned. Approximately 52% of the Company’s revenues during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 were derived from The Technology Companies, including revenues from sales and leases of software licenses, fees for maintenance and support services and revenues from consulting services that typically include implementation and training.
