The Internet is stimulating new discussions about copyright, fair use, free speech, regulation, taxation, and a wide range of additional topics.  How will cyberspace change law and how will law change cyberspace in the years ahead?


Here are some perspectives:

The Information Society Project at Yale Law School. "The Information Society Project (ISP) at Yale Law School is an intellectual center for the study of a new age in which telecommunications and intellectual property are central determinants of the structure of society, the development of human culture and democratic legitimacy. Members of the Information Society Project study the emerging intersections between law, policy and technology and how those intersections affect civil liberties as technology evolves." Special projects of the ISP include: Digital Democracy, Internet Content Rating and Filtering, and the LawMeme newsletter.

Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School. "The Center for Internet and Society (CIS) is a public interest technology law and policy program at Stanford Law School and a part of Law, Science and Technology Program at Stanford Law School. The CIS brings together scholars, academics, legislators, students, hackers, and scientists to study the interaction of new technologies and the law and to examine how the synergy between the two can either promote or harm public goods like free speech, privacy, public commons, diversity, and scientific inquiry. The CIS strives as well to improve both technology and law, encouraging decision makers to design both as a means to further democratic values." Founded by Professor Lawrence Lessig. The CIS also offers a Blog.
