• Stanford professor warns of Internet regulations at GIGSE

May 17, 2006 – Speaking at Montreal's GIGSE conference, Lawrence Lessig, a Stanford law professor and founder of the university's Centre for Internet and Society, told delegates that the gambling and gaming industry should be prepared for government's to regulate the industry. "Today it is, effectively, unregulable," said the cyber law expert, "but it's a mistake to bet the industry on the capacity to escape government's ability to regulate." He went on to predict that within five years "freedom [of the Internet] will be a function of your passport," Lessig said. "What you're allowed to do in different places on the Internet will depend on where you come from." Lessig's claims were supported by Sue Schneider, chairwoman of the Interactive Gaming Council, who warned that the industry needed to plan its future with the possibility of regulation in mind. "It's not going to be the free ride is has been," she said. "This whole industry is built on the Internet and people need to be looking further out in the future than they have been."
