Law 2.0: The challenges of user generated and peer produced networks, content and culture. The internet has seen our world transformed into one dominated by user generated and peer produced networks, content and culture. The ease and accessibility of Web 2.0 technologies are, in particular, resulting in unavoidable cultural paradigm shifts. As we continue to embrace new technologies, our conceptions of knowledge and communication will inevitably and necessarily need to evolve to reflect the increasing power and pervasiveness of the internet. Although all aspects of our lives and laws are likely to change in some respect due to this new digital reality, probably the most significant and fundamental change will be in how we define, create and use and re use information. So many of the laws that regulate information are already struggling to respond to pace and size of these technological changes. This paper will analyse the challenges that Web 2.0 and beyond either pose now or will pose in the future to copyright, defamation and privacy. Old models of business and law are in many respects unable to adequately deal with these challenges and perhaps we all need to rethink our laws for this new era. While this paper will outline some of the initial attempts to

In a world that is increasingly dominated by computer mediated communication systems, it appears that the volume and pace of information can become overwhelming. Although a considerable amount of research has been undertaken in the information overload field, until recently, a conceptual information overload model to help visualise and further understand the problem has never been developed for this ever increasing issue. The presentation will discuss the factors involved in the newly created information overload model and show how the extent of information overload can be measured. communication will be used as a case study to show the effects of overload and how it can affect both the employee and their work. It will also show how some of these issues raised can be overcome and the increasing importance of records management in finding longer term solutions to the information overload problems.
