Here we'll explore the nexus of legal rulings, Capitol Hill
policy-making, technical standards development, and technological
innovation that creates -- and will recreate -- the networked world as we
know it. Among the topics we'll touch on: intellectual property
conflicts, technical architecture and innovation, the evolution of
copyright, private vs. public interests in Net policy-making, lobbying
and the law, and more.

Peter Suber: Does Google Library Violate Copyright?
The indefatigable Peter Suberprovides what your newspaper can't and won't: in-depth coverage of the debate so far among the experts who usually only get a sentence or two in the Google article du jour, plus links to additional materials and original sources so you can see what's happening sans spin. The bonus: Peter's personal assessment of the situation, which includes the following gem: "On the merits, it's an important question to settle. But I admit that I'm not very comfortable having any important copyright question settled in today's legal climate of piracy hysteria and maximalist protection -- a new world order getting old fast."
