calendar· 8th International Conference on the Law Via The Internet
10/7/2007 20:58 · 1 comment

This conference, catering primarily to lawyers examines themes relating to doctrine, document preservation and legal information overload. Doctrine and its production and publication are very high profile. Indeed, issues related to documents that complement primary sources of law are certainly the next frontier. Preservation of both pre-digital law and that born today in digital...

Who's going to get there first?

articles · Why do I need to CC?
by anas · commented on 18/3/2008 19:04 · 26 votes · 1 comment

This has typically been the ending question for any Creative Commons-related conversation in the Middle East that I have been involved in. While drawing on others' experiences and telling success stories from other parts of the world would seem a very appealing answer, there is always the “but here, it does not work like that” aspect of the argument. Well, today I think we have...
