Recent events such as the sale of Nazi memorabilia through Yahoo!
France have highlighted a growing realization that the Internet can
not ignore national boundaries.  The first panel will discuss these
recent events with a particular focus on new jurisdictional issues
brought about by Internet commerce.  Likewise, the application of
regional data protection creates new challenges as countries seek to
accomodate different legal regimes.  The second panel will discuss
future prospects for global privacy protection by both legal and
technological means.
