C&L Magazine faces up to Facebook

The October/November issue of Computers & Law magazine is currently landing on the desks of IT lawyers across the land. As ever the magazine is essential reading, and includes the following:

• Allan Yeoman writes about the "conundrum" faced by employers when it comes to employee use of FaceBook and other social networking sites, and the options open to employers. (FaceBook is clearly the topic of the week in legal technology circles, with Rupert White writing an article in the Law Society Gazette about the implications and possibilities raised by social networking sites. The article can be read online in the Law Society Management & Information section)
• Beverly Flynn discusses the Information Commissioner's Office guidance on personal data. (See our brief post on the issue linking to the guidance)
• Andrew Mills, our head of Intellectual Property & Technology until very recently, writes a guide to the essentials of Creative Commons.
