Web 2.0 – Internet Law in the 21st Century
You need to know about Web 2.0, and soon. It is the future – but it is very much now too. The SCL's 2007 Conference was designed to help legal professionals ‘get’ Web 2.0. This online recording cannot quite capture the spirit of collaboration and exchange that characterized the Conference itself but it presents the main proceedings of that Conference. Web 2.0 is changing how people communicate. It is changing expectations. It is changing attitudes. It is changing business. Given all that, you can be sure that Web 2.0 will change the law and legal practice. Web 2.0 is changing the landscape of intellectual property like a bulldozer in a neatly planted garden. It impacts directly on legal practice – partly because of blogs, wikis and new ways to handle knowledge, but mainly because of the attitudes and expectations of clients. You cannot afford to hear the client say, or see the look that says, ‘you just don’t get it’. SCL wants to help you ‘get it’. This free-to-view two-day conference, Web 2.0 – Internet Law in the 21st Century, was recorded on the 22nd and 23rd June at St Anne’s College Oxford. SCL brought together experts on the technology, and on the law and practice affected by it. As the law adapts to cope with mashing, online collaboration, blogs, folksonomies and MMORPGs, the Conference will give you the confidence to deal with the new problems that always come alongside such adaptation. In keeping with the collaborative philosophy that spawned the likes of Wikipedia and which, at a surface level at least, underpins social software innovations, the SCL Conference pools ideas and provides a forum to achieve this. In place of the standard lecture format, the Conference features hands-on, structured panel sessions. Each panel session features a short presentation by one or two keynote speakers setting out the latest thinking on their subject. The panel then analyses each point with the help of contributions and questions from you the delegates, ensuring lively sessions helping you to benefit from the shared knowledge and experience of the speakers, panellists and delegates. With more than 25 contributors recruited from the very top of their specialist areas, a high-profile Conference dinner and the usual SCL value pricing, the conference was a great success. The SCL hopes that you find the online archive useful and that you will be able to join The SCL at one of our live legal events in the near future. Go to the full web 2.0 conference contents.
