Case Study: Every generation has the good fortune, and sometimes misfortune, of being witness to events that become the landmarks by which future generations will measure history. These landmarks can take place as social upheavals such as civil rights movements, horrible conflagrations such as wars, or social-economic migrations such as our nation's conversion from an agrarian to an industrial society. A key hallmark of all such events is that the road of history has taken a sharp turn from which there is little possibility of turning back. One such major turn that we are now facing is the advent of the Internet. Future generations will look upon our time as a road land-marked by the information age. This turn in the road is coupled and driven by incredible technological advancements symbolized by the Internet. Originally intended only for a select group of military and academic uses, it has virtually exploded onto every continent and every country to facilitate a level of communication never imagined before. It has made planet Earth "smaller" than ever through unprecedented connectivity while simultaneously creating an uncharted frontier for all who travel down this exciting path.We need to recognize the legal issues and risks that will confront them as we travel down this road.
