"Laws and legal regulations are increasingly affecting what technologists can do. The ACM Forum on Legal Regulation of Technology is a venue for technologists to discuss how the law is changing their work. There are many examples of the law's impact on technology. [...] Legal scholars have been discussing these issues for some time, but computer scientists have not been nearly as active in the debate. The forum: seeks to bring technologists into the debate; will follow the model of ACM's successful RISKS Forum. [...] The moderator is Edward W. Felten." |
