Australia Senate Select Committee re
Internet Censorship Bill 29 June 2001
I’ve written a number of papers on various areas relating to law. Most of these have been published on the site of Gilbert + Tobin. I have been known for my criticism of some Australian legislation relating to censor the internet. I have published a shyteload of articles mostly on issues relating to the internet and the law - ecommerce, copyright on the net, electronic bill payment, electronic document management, digital signatures, PKI, cybercrime, internet censorship etc etc.
If you're interested, my various papers are available from these links. I would be grateful if you have any thoughts or comments on any of these papers (see below):
Image and Data Manager - You'll have to search for "brendan scott" (exclude the quotes) in the keywords section from this link. I've written a number of articles for these people, but they're not easily accessible. A search will also give you places where I'm quoted rather than actually writing an article. I have managed to put many (but not all) of them up in some form or another on the Gilbert + Tobin site (see link above).

History
of Copyright and Problems for Copyright Going Forward (aka
Copyright
in a Frictionless World). I have written a more considered review
of
copyright law which was published on First Monday in September 2001.
That
paper is called Copyright
in a Frictionless World (same link as earlier) and argues that
copyright
owners should pursue a rhetoric of responsibility rather than one of
rights
in the internet age. This paper is quite long, but each of its
parts
is readily digestible.
Some of my wisdom has been quoted in Australian Personal Computer (in relation to Internet Censorship) and Internet.au (in relation to monitoring in the workplace sometime June 2000 ish, but the buggers at Internet.au don't seem to have the material available online - I will see if I have my original email).
Delivery of Legal Information over the Web. This paper was presented at the "Standards and Issues in Electronic Publication and Dissemination of Legal Information" conference held at the College of Law in Sydney on 5 April 1997.
In relation to all of these things I welcome any thoughts or
comments you
have on what I have written. Email me if you have
any
- but remember to remove the "NS" from the front of this address (it's
to
reduce the spam I receive).
