Regulating Search

JB

Today Yale's Information Society Project (of which I am the director) is holding a conference on search engines and the law, entitled "Regulating Search?" You can find out more about the conference here.

Comments:

Ooh. This is interesting. Would the transcripts be available to the public?

The one that really intrigued me was the part about intellectual property and individual rights.

PS: Long time reader, never posted a comment before as I am intimidated by your credentials. ;(
 

I also find that it looks to be a very fascinating symposium.
I can't help but feel that any constraints placed on search engines will ultimately prove to be a disadvantage for both those who want to keep the Internet 'neutral', as well as those who want it made a 'safer' place.

It seems to me that Benjamin Franklin, were he here, would be more than a little delighted if the Internet could facilitate a contest to find that substance which could produce the most fragrant of gastronomic disturbances, and even more so if search engines could reveal such discoveries to the common user.
