Seven or eight years ago, when I first began informal study of what has come to be known as "Cyberlaw" or "Internet Law," there were no books on the subject, and very few journal articles. The lack of case law and the lack of commercial demand for services in the new and (then) minor field made for little to write about except speculation.
Like many others, I speculated and debated the likely future in venues such as the CompuServe Legal Forum and Counsel Connect with some of the early pioneers in the field. We've come a long way since then, but in recent years, my responsibilities with my "day job" drew enough time and energy that now returning to focus on the topic, I find I have much catching up to do in my reading. There is now a wide selection of articles, treatises and entire hardbound books, both practical and theoretical, for the student of the subject.
I now have the opportunity to do that catching up, and plan to share with my readers (both of them) the relevant material I am finding. Please bear with me as I day by day discover works you may have read years ago and moved beyond. Please add your suggestions for readings and comments on my remarks either through this channel or via a private email. Or give me a call; I'm not hard to find.
