"Sometimes things are protected not by the law but by the act of having to go look it up," said Ryan Calo, a professor at the University of Washington School of Law. "Now, in the Internet age, where everything is organized so neatly, and quickly, the question then becomes — and this is a question people have taken a couple whacks at — does the law need to respond to changes in technology?"
The Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School is a leader in the study of the law and policy around the Internet and other emerging technologies.
