We are now in the Information Age. While information has always had value, the advent of computers, personal computers, and the Internet have transformed our society and economy. Well-established principles of law are suddenly being tested in new ways. In some cases, the old rules hold up well; in other areas, the old rules have proved to be wholly inadequate to the new technology. In some cases, conflicts between various areas of law have developed or been exposed to greater scrutiny because of the new technology. For example, rights of free speech, privacy, and intellectual property have collided, requiring a rethinking of the balances previously existing between these areas of law. This course will examine several areas of law that have been impacted by the information revolution, including intellectual property law (copyright, trade secrets, trademarks, unfair competition, and unfair business practices), personal jurisdiction, electronic commerce and software contracts, telecommunications, antitrust, privacy, the right to accuracy of information, the right to access to information, and the First Amendment.
