The Internet has created intricate problems for the law. Established standards comfortable with traditional means of communication (print, common carriers and broadcasting) have been shaken or made redundant. This paper seeks to highlight the major changes the law has undergone and may continue to do so in the future. It focuses on the striving of the major industrial countries to regulate the Internet as a whole and to address issues of privacy and intellectual property. It concludes by pointing out the inherent limitations of national solutions to problems raised by the Internet and the appropriateness of international arrangements.
