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.

When the Risk Takers Come
When the risk takers come into their own – John Cook writes in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
Despite the uncertainty in the current economic environment, a number of entrepreneurs and VC investors are convinced that now is an auspicious time to start a new venture.
Notes one VC: “Only good sailors go out in stormy seas. The teams and the people who are willing to head out with a new enterprise right now are good people to invest in.”
In fact, some investors point out that three current technology behemothsËœOracle, Microsoft, SunËœwere all started during a down technology cycle. The article includes a review of potential advantages for a business started during an economic downturn (e.g. less competition, greater access to intellectual capital).
The San Francisco Chronicle has a great article in its Sunday magazine about why writers enjoy living in the San Francisco Bay Area.

For those of you thinking
For those of you thinking of buying some network gear, you may want to take advantage of Amazon.com’s mainland U.S. free shipping over for orders over $99 (read restrictions). Yes, there are lots of provisos, so read the list carefully. Amazon.com’s prices are competitive or better for all of the cheap home gateways that they offer; I just updated that page to include links to Outpost.com and Amazon.com for items that either or both store sell directly.
