Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of. I've had a look around, and can't actually find many other similar groups. Mind you, most of the lawyers I've spoken to seem feel that the Internet is nothing new, legally. This leads me to think that lawyers on the whole, are not particularly imaginative or attentive people.
They also have a newsletter, "The Filter," which is sometimes interesting. This year they started running a 5-day "Internet Law Program of Instruction," if you happen to have a spare $2500.
Oh hurrah. A bargain.
(Tangentially, who attends MIT's 6.87s? and what do they do with it afterwards? I've received solicitations to attend via mail for the past couple of years; I suspect because I am an ACM SIGSAC member. http://web.mit.edu/professional/summer/courses/computer/6.87s.html If *anyone* could get the material across in 4 days, it would be those two -- but I'm not sure that this is possible...)
Four days for all that? Perhaps it involves time travel. ++rd ________________________________________________________________________ Protect your privacy! - Get Freedom 2.0 at http://www.freedom.net
