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.
