> It has become a cliché to observe that the Internet is a kind of libertarian
> paradise, although there is much to that view. The net has a remarkable
> “architecture of liberty,” but like all liberties, it is under persistent
> attack from many directions. And as Orwell reminds us, its survival is not
> ensured. As the ideological battle lines take shape, a key question is: What
> institutions have the power and, more important, the right to impose their
> views of the good on those who are populating this new space? To illuminate
> this debate, Professor Post will draw on an interesting historical parallel
> ­ the colonization of the New World. He will conclude with a discussion of
> how to ensure the continued flourishing of human freedom on the global
> network.

> David Post attended Georgetown Law Center and graduated summa cum laude in

> Court of Appeals, he spent six years at the Washington, D.C. law firm of
> Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering, practicing in the areas of intellectual property
> law and high technology commercial transactions. He clerked again for
> Justice Ginsburg during her first term on the Supreme Court of the United
> States.
