Entrepreneurship and the Law

The only thing that we can count on with technology is that it will constantly change.  In some cases, governments try to stay ahead of the curve by enacting regulations that govern how technology can be used.  In other cases, a laissez-faire strategy or a lack of awareness of the implications of new technology leaves law makers far behind.  In this series of case studies, ITI is developing cases that can be used as teaching tools and to identify entrepreneurial opportunities from new legal developments and/or loopholes in existing laws related to technology.  A grant from the Kauffman Foundation has provided funding for the development of the first cases in this series:

• Peer to peer file sharing
• Full text copying of library collections

Coming soon, there will be cases on:

• Net Neutrality
• Tying and bundling products and services to exclude competition
