Cyberspace Law (IT 808)

  Course Description

This seminar considers such questions as what "rules of the road" ought to apply to the borderless electronic environment of Cyberspace. Who can make the rules, how can they be enforced, and what will be the legal and political relationships among and between states, nations and the private sector in cyberspace? Subject areas will vary as the field develops, but will include such areas as tort liability, freedom of expression, crime and security, privacy, intellectual property rights and protection, regulation, jurisdiction, and standards of ethics and propriety.
