There are two excellent sites to look at

Perkins Coie's comprehensive site on internet law (subpage for web page issues)

   http://www.perkinscoie.com/resource/ecomm/netcase/Cases-27.htm

Law Journal Extra's Internet Law site

   http://www.ljx.com/internet/ir_copy.html

John Marshall Law School's internet law site

   http://www.jmls.edu/cyber/index/

OK, that's 3, but they are each very good. I'm not aware of any significant cases more recent than the Ticketmaster (linking) and Total News (framing stories) cases.
