This presentation took place as a debate between Profs. Goldsmith
and Post, focusing on the question "Can-and should-terrestrial law govern
cyberspace." Goldsmith argues that activity in cyberspace is undertaken
by real people, located in real space, and that the traditional
principles governing a sovereign state's authority to regulate activity
within and without its borders can, generally speaking, accommodate these
new forms of activity. Post, on the other hand, suggests that
physically-defined sovereigns are neither legitimate nor efficient
sources of rules for conduct in this inherently borderless medium.
