<div>Yes thanks indeed for this link.</div>

<div>A comment from this e-desk: here, I have hope, - that is trust - that younger judges now coming onto the Bench will be much more savvy than those laying down computer law in the past decades, often by judges who seldom or never saw computers or used computing let alone networks. Since overcoming precedent - <em>stare decisis</em> - can take a long time, more likely cases will be "distinguished" from earlier decisions, ostensibly on the facts or the law (tougher, usually)..</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Those are general statements, above. Specifically, it's a good thing that a judge does see a mismatch between e.g. Internet and older modes of communication; the latter much easier to reign-in when there are problems (short of CyberSpread)..</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the 1990's and someone else may have done better, but I did poorly trying to convince judges that even though but a fraction of a 'nano' away but leached from elsewhere earthocentrically , <em>CyberLbel</em> effected people universally and jurisdiction should 'attach' (courts can hear cases because they see themselves as having jurisdiction). That was the U.S. though, and it happens Britain and I believe - check me - Australia were and by report maybe still are willing to see points of views of folks on either side of the :"V" ("versus") defendants and plaintiffs both.</div>
