課程概述

We will primarily study United States law, where many of these issues are highly developed, although there will be materials from other jurisdictions as well. However, because many of the legal and policy problems raised by new information and communication technologies transcend national borders, the type of questions raised in the course will be of direct relevance to Taiwanese law as well. Moreover, one of the principal questions the course will address is the impact that the transnational nature of the Internet has on domestic law, a question that is of great importance to Taiwanese law. 

課程目標
The principal goal of the class is to have students learn to think seriously about a broad variety of legal and policy problems that arise because of changes in information and communication technologies.

參考書目
Readings for the course will come from three different sources.

1. Books: We will be using two short books written by Jonathan Zittrain, a prominent scholar at Harvard and Oxford. These books were published in September 2005.
a. Jonathan L. Zittrain, Internet Law: Jurisdiction (Foundation Press, 2005)
b. Jonathan L. Zittrain, Internet Law: Technological Complements to Copyright (Foundation Press, 2005)
2. Supplement: I have prepared a class supplement of materials. I will provide this supplement to everyone in an electronic format. Students should print these materials out for class.
3. Online materials: Some of the class materials are online. The reading list (part of this syllabus) has hyperlinks to those materials.


BECAUSE THE LAW IN MANY OF THESE AREAS IS CHANGING SO QUICKLY, THE READINGS MAY CHANGE DURING THE COURSE OF THE SEMSTER. IF ANYTHING DOES CHANGE, I WILL LET THE WHOLE CLASS KNOW VIA E-MAIL.
