> On March 29, 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in two
> cases that together will greatly determine how government can and will
> regulate the Internet in the future, and the impact that the public
> interest will have on the development of cyberlaw over the next
> decade.
>
> In MGM v. Grokster, the Court will decide whether copyright holders
> can veto consumer electronics and computing innovations that upset the
> content industries' prevailing business models, even where the
> technology's non-infringing uses provide substantial benefits to
> consumers. The question is whether consumer demand for new and better
> products will drive technological development, or copyright owners'
> demand for control will retard it.
>
> In Brand X v. FCC, the Court will decide whether the FCC should retain
> the option to regulate cable modem services to promote open access to
> broadband lines, universal service and network neutrality, as it did
> in the early days of the Internet when most people connected over
> common-carrier telephone lines. The question is whether tomorrow's
> communications services will be defined by citizen choices or by the
> business interests of a handful of cable broadband companies.
>
> At Cyberlaw in the Supreme Court, the Stanford Law School Center for
> Internet and Society will convene a discussion of these cases, their
> broader implications, and what effect the pending Supreme Court
> decisions could have on the public interest. Panels of attorneys
> litigating and arguing these cases, the parties affected by them, the
> policy advocates whose work will begin once the Judges rule, and the
> people thinking about what the legal landscape will look like for the
> next ten years will discuss both cases and the impact the decisions
> will have on the future.
