Abstract

There is a strong focus in recent Internet theory upon the empirical studies of Internet use and user communities. The application of empirical techniques such as ethnographic studies draws the attention to the ongoing significance of place, culture and institutional conditions of exisitence to practices of Internet use and online media consumption. The paper also looks at the comparative legal frameworks in which the Internet is accessed as this does impact upon Internet content.
