Media Advisory: The law in cyberspace

 

       
The World Wide Web, which transcends traditional physical and national
boundaries, presents a host new questions and concerns that legal
communities around the world must tackle. With technological advances
occurring so rapidly, how can the law keep up?


On Oct. 27, McGill will host the 3rd Biennial Symposium on The Internet:
Governance and the Law. Chaired by James Archibald, Director of
Translation Studies at McGill, the symposium is organized by the Center
for International Legal Studies, based in Austria, and will take place
in the Moot Court, Faculty of Law, and at the Faculty Club.
Sessions will deal with topics such as international internet
governance, cyber-regulation, free speech vs. defamation, privacy vs.
security, consumer protection, cybercrime and terrorism, domain names,
open source and intellectual property rights, e-commerce, and piracy.
