Privacy Digest – New York Times – Cyber Law Journal: free registration required The Year in Internet Law.

What happened in cyberlaw during the past year that was significant and enduring — or at least interesting? That’s the question Cyber Law Journal put to several well-regarded law professors and legal practitioners.

Their answers ran the gamut from the government’s legal response to the Sept. 11 attacks to Hollywood’s impressive victory in the U.S.. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in the DeCSS copyright case. As in years past, the common element in the experts’ responses seemed to be a sense that Internet law — and cyberspace itself — is still unfolding and that new battle lines are forming even as old conflicts are settled.
