As I'm sure aga knows, "common law" is that form of jurisprudence in which cases of first which are appealed to a higher court set legal precedents which are subsequently binding on lower courts. I must admit, it appears "Aga" has the advantage of me, as I did not study the *common-law of cyberspace* back when I was in law school. (Unfortunately, my education pre-dates the existance of cyberspace.) As a favor to me and other's on the list who would like to know as much as "Aga" does about the *common-law of cyberspace* I ask "Aga" to please share his knowledge with us. For starters, a list of the most relevant appelate cases embodied in the *common- law of cyberspace* would be appreciated. S a n d y ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
