But before we can argue for our new approach, we must first survey the current constitutional and statutory landscape.

Unfortunately for those whose businesses rely on the Internet, an increasing amount of legal conflict is also arising in reaction to this new business medium.

An informed IS community is also much more capable of mounting legal and political challenges to law that might …
