Filed under book | Tags: · free speech, internet, law, net neutrality
Every few years, a new book comes out explaining that the future of the Internet is at risk. And every few years, it really is. This book explains why.
In this important new work, On Internet Freedom, leading advocate and First Amendment scholar Marvin Ammori explores why the Internet is continually under threat, what’s at stake in the battle for Internet freedom, and how Internet users can rise up to protect their rights. Written for average Internet users, not just for lawyers and technologists, this book explains these issues and their significance for anyone who has ever sent an email.
Proceeds from this book will be donated to Fight for the Future and Demand Progress.

Julie E. Cohen: Configuring the Networked Self: Law, Code, and the Play of Everyday Practice (2012)
Filed under book | Tags: · code, copyright, everyday, internet, law, life, networks, piracy, play, privacy, security, self, surveillance
The legal and technical rules governing flows of information are out of balance, argues Julie E. Cohen in this original analysis of information law and policy. Flows of cultural and technical information are overly restricted, while flows of personal information often are not restricted at all. The author investigates the institutional forces shaping the emerging information society and the contradictions between those forces and the ways that people use information and information technologies in their everyday lives. She then proposes legal principles to ensure that people have ample room for cultural and material participation as well as greater control over the boundary conditions that govern flows of information to, from, and about them.

Filed under book | Tags: · facebook, free speech, google, intellectual property, internet, internet filtering, internet governance, iphone, law, liberation technologies, net neutrality, reputation, search, youtube
This unique book brings together 26 thought leaders on Internet law, philosophy, policy and economics to consider, from a wide variety of perspectives, what the next digital decade might bring for the Internet. This book is essential reading for anyone gazing toward the digital future.
The book’s 31 essays address questions such as: Has the Internet been good for our culture? Is the Internet at risk from the drive to build more secure, but less “open” systems and devices? Is the Internet really so “exceptional?” Has it fundamentally changed economics? Who—and what ideas—will govern the Net in 2020? Should online intermediaries like access providers, hosting providers, search engines and social networks do more to “police” their networks, increase transparency, or operate “neutrally?” What future is there for privacy online? Can online free speech be regulated? Can it really unseat tyrants?
