Possibly overkill for this course, General Links to Law Resources contains a section on "Information Law"; Also try "The Legal List".
A listing of links from the University of Michigan Law Library may be useful.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation usually has some interesting items in their archives.
The Computer-Mediated Communication Magazine may have some interesting comments. As of September 1995, they are seeking papers on Philosophical Perspectives Free Speech and thus may have some material on this topic in the future.
My "hotlist" also contains some useful items -- mainly about WWW -- and with some duplications for this list. As does the WWW page for the 1995 "Challenges and Choices" conference held at Virginia Tech.
