By Urs Gasser
Urs Gasser, Regulating Search Engines: Taking Stock and Looking Ahead, 8 Yale Journal of Law & Technology 201 (2006).
This paper has two objectives. First, it seeks to take stock and provide a brief summary of the current state of an emerging law of search engines, mainly from a U.S. perspective. Second, it aims to contribute to the development of an analytical framework that may provide guidance in assessing proposals aimed at regulating search engines in particular and search more generally.
