Law Uncertainty and Technology
Prof. Dr. Juliano Souza de Albuquerque Maranhão
Universidade de São Paulo
Abstract
Information Society has presented several challenging cases and conflicts to
courts, motivating several adaptations and revision of legal concepts. There is a
debate whether these challenges indicate that there should be a new law of
internet and information technology or it is just a matter of applying the same
private or public law to a new field. The talk will exemplify such challenging
cases which seems to be unsurmountable within the traditional conceptual
structure of law, based on individual freedom.
