Internet law research

The Internet is called the information highway for a reason: almost unlimited resources exist online, from encyclopedia to maps of the world and the known universe, from personal data of celebrities to juiciest gossip, from law in general to Internet law, researchable is everything, powerful search engines, indexing engines and crosslink references are available and ready to perform any given task.
Internet law research is available on a large scale. Besides googling for certain law cases or government regulations, there are reference web sites and whole law libraries that can be used for a thorough research. Library of the Congress is a good start for the US law; European countries have their own laws published in pdf formats on their respective ministries websites. There are overall EU laws which are being offered on the Brussels’ EU headquarters web pages; almost every country has laws published on the Net, in many cases very easily accessible.
The whole research gets more complicated if certain laws are being targeted, particularly the Internet law which is not simply put into one law book, but is spread all over in more or less relevant telecommunications and in exact cases in very deeply buried sub paragraphs of other laws. For instance, if someone is searching for cyber stalking regulations, then the applicable law is derived from stalking cases which originated in Orange County and were later implemented in the criminal harassment and criminal menacing regulations.
To seriously research Internet law, a lot of time is required to sift through all the lawyers trying to sell something that actually does not exist. Some publications are very limited, like the Journal on Internet Law, which covers mostly American legislation. Starting with Wikipedia is a good bet, many external links lead to serious resources. Stanford Law School has a Center for Internet and Society, where a Cyberlaw clinic is available, as are plenty of information and resources pertaining to the Internet law.
World Legal Information Institute has a huge database on worldwide law regulations and stipulations in regards to the Internet and all online matters, freely available, browsable and fully searchable. There are even some courses on Cyberlaw, with quotes of cases and cross linking.
The CyberlawTimes website has additional extensive resources available; many recent and older cases are available for review. Perhaps the best features of this site are the cyber law discussion forums, where professionals and interested individuals can discuss and inquire any and all information regarding the Internet law, and receive perhaps the best assistance for a serious research on the Internet law.
