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 expression
  • Freedom of competition
  • 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"

NOTE: I cannot help you if you are a copyright holder trying to use licensing agreements (e.g. EULA), access control technologies (e.g. those covered by the DMCA), anticompetitive practices, or privacy-invasion and data-mining schemes, to (1) extend the scope of your control over your copyrighted works beyond the limits established in the Copyright Act, (2) to deny others the right to make lawful, non-infringing use of your works, (3) to require disclosure of information beyond that needed to complete a legitimate transaction, (4) to impede free and open competition, or (5) to suppress freedom of expression.
