Ask Mike Godwin About Internet Law

Posted by Roblimo on Monday March 15, 2004 @04:45AM from the oldest-living-internet-lawyer-tells-all dept.

Mike Godwin is probably best known to Slashdot readers for Godwin's Law, but that's one of the most minor reasons you should know him. In this blurb for his book, CYBER RIGHTS, he's (correctly) described as "one of the first lawyers to 'live and work in cyberspace.'" Naturally, Mike can't give specific legal advice, but he's certainly about as expert as they come about the development of law and legal hassles surrounding the Internet. We'll send him 10 of the highest-moderated questions, and publish his answers as soon as we get them back.

Offtopic? Stupid mods; this is COMPLETELY topical. This Slashdot article is "Ask Mike Godwin Anything". The original post has a GOOD QUESTION, and completely RUINS it with a gratuitous Hitler reference. If you don't know who Mike Godwin is, then don't mod.
If you were famous for saying that when a thread mentions Hitler it is effectivly over, would you give this question a second thought?
