Product Description

From the Author
Author Comment on Sex, Laws and Cyberspace
"Cyberspace is a constellation of printing presses and bookstores." Since the book was published, this line from Sex, Laws and Cyberspace has become a meme travelling through electronic and print media, quoted back to us in reviews, panel discussions and interviews.

In the two years since our book appeared, the Supreme Court has confirmed unconstitutionality of the Communications Decency act and the focus has shifted to the legality of blocking software in public schools and libraries. But the battleground remains the same: will the Net be treated as the latest evolution of print media, with the same broad protection, or be restricted to the narrower scheme under which broadcast and cable are regulated? Although there have been many new developments we would love to include in a second edition, Sex, Laws and Cyberspace sets the stage for current disputes, and includes an extensive discussion of relevant conflicts in the regulation of prior media, from the printing press onwards.

Though we are very hopeful after the Supreme Court decision that the courts will continue to extend substantial protection to speech on the Net, continued vigilance is necessary. Risks include the possibility that, if media convergence occurs, the trend will be to treat the Net more like television. Its not yet time to become complacent.

5.0 out of 5 stars New age Internet safe for our children?, 18 May 1998
By A Customer
I believe that the book enstilled frightening thoughts in my mind of the dangers available on the Internet. A must read book before you let your child use the information superhighway.
