Why "interaction law"? People are fundamentally social creatures. An important characteristic of healthy societies is that they nurture and protect freedom for people to interact with each other by communicating, colaborating, learning from each other, entertaining each other, inspiring each other. Here are a few "interaction" issues that most inspire my legal advocacy: * Freedom of speech and [removed]First Amendment, obscenity, censorship) * Freedom of competition (antitrust, trade association representation) * Freedom of identity and privacy * Freedom of thought, opinion and religion * Freedom of inquiry, learning, experimentation and creativity * Preservation and enrichment of the Information Commons * Entitlement to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"
