The Internet At 20: Evolution Of A Constitution For Cyberspace, Henry H. Perritt Jr. Jan 2012

The Internet At 20: Evolution Of A Constitution For Cyberspace, Henry H. Perritt Jr.

All Faculty Scholarship

This Article looks back over the Internet’s first twenty years, highlighting the crucial legal decisions by the executive, legislative, and judicial branches that have led to the Internet’s success, and which now frame its constitution. I participated in many of these decisions and wrote more than a dozen law review articles and reports suggesting directions for public policy and law. This Article uses this foundation to consider the future, focusing on major legal controversies, the resolution of which will define the Internet’s third decade—either strengthening or undermining its constitution.

Remixing Lessig (Reviewing Lawrence Lessig, Remix (2008)), Edward Lee

All Faculty Scholarship

This book review analyzes - and remixes - Lawrence Lessig's last copyright-related book, "Remix." It takes the central ideas, including some quotations, from Remix, and transforms them with some new examples and commentary of my own. Part I summarizes and critiques Lessig’s discussion of (1) the remix and read-write (RW) culture, and (2) its relationship to the sharing, commercial, and hybrid economies. Part II discusses some of Lessig’s reform proposals for our copyright system to foster a remix culture.
