Legal Challenges in a Digital Context

February 20, 2:30pm - 4:00pm
Mānoa Campus, Saunders 624 Add to Calendar

Using copyright as a case study, this presentation addresses the relationship between law and other, emerging, norms in a digital society. Specifically, it focus on the following issues:

1. The “gap problem” in terms of the distance between law and social norms in a digital context

2. Online traceability, that is, consequences and trends of traceability in relation to legal enforcement and surveillance

3. Conceptual change, exemplified by how the transition of concepts to originally describe tangible objects to now describe digital “stuff”, and, particularly, what this means for law and other norms.

The talk will be presented by Dr. Stefan Larssen from the Lund University Internet Institute (LUii), Sweden.
