There are a number of disturbing Internet and computer trends. On other days here I have shared my struggle to understand the Deep Linking controversy.
If we buy computer hardware and software, is it ours to do with as we please? No. There is some kind of a license and intellectual property rights associated with this. Just like when we buy a book or magazine, we not have the right to photocopy all the content, or when we buy an automobile, we need to drive it in accordance with state laws, and have proper insurance. But what rights do other people have to the content on OUR computers? What rights do other people have to content we might want to access? This is ever changing.
The Chilling Effects Clearing House tries to help us understand our Freedom of e-Speech Rights, and what some people, who don't get it about what the Internet is all about, have been doing to undermine Freedom of e-Speech, and what we can do about it if one of those people hassles us. Lots of good links here.
The Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School explores evolving issues of cyber law. Lots of good links here also.
