The Yale University Law School Conference, "The Global Flow of Information," is being live blogged by LawMeme. The conference is focused on four key questions:

* Can the flow of information across borders be controlled? If so, how?

* Whose interests are going to be affected by flows of information across borders? Who will be empowered and who will lose influence and authority?

* What role can or should law play in securing freedoms, rights, and democratic accountability as individuals, groups, and nations struggle over control of information flows?

* What lessons can we learn about how to regulate information flow from past experience with other kinds of flow across borders— for example, flows of goods, services, people, and capital?

Too bad they didn't decide to webcast the sessions.
