Traps of the Virtual Society: Rough Justice on the Electronic Frontier

Computer Ethics Institute, April 29, 1994

Victor J. Cosentino , Finkelstein, Thompson & Loughran



"Using the model of rough justice on the frontier and illustrative recent legal developments, this essay briefly explores the application of the law to activities occurring in the field of computers and computer communications (cyberspace). This essay also extrapolates this model into the future to consider how our legal system may someday treat cyberspace constructs such as virtual identities."
