Internet Law 2.0

In my previous post I discussed open source software licensing including a link to O'Reilly's manual on the same subject. In an interesting twist of how the web is intertwined, a lawyer from Nixon Peabody visited my Engineering Learning Wiki. My web stats revealed that this person visited eleven pages on my wiki. As this number of pages represents a fair amount of research, I was curious ...

Thus, I visited the Nixon Peabody web site. My own research discovered two interesting facts. After first learning that this law firm was rated one of the top 100 places to work by Fortune Magazine, I noticed a link on their web site for Internet Law: NP 2.0. My research of this link revealed a fairly active blog and wiki with reviews of actual internet law court cases. While we may wish that all web content would be available via Creative Commons open licensing, that is not the real world.  Thus, I invite you to explore the world of internet corporate law according to Nixon Peabody:

• Internet Law: NP 2.0
• Internet Law: NP 2.0 Blog
• Internet Law: NP 2.0 Wiki

Some closing notes ...

You'll find reviewed on their wiki ... and you may comment upon:

• Federal Rule of Evidence 502
• Privacy and Cyber Security
• Tiffany v. eBay
