Cyberia-L
CYBERIA-L gets deep into online copyright, privacy, and censorship issues. While aimed at non-lawyers, a number of heavyweight online legal people are on it, and take an active part in the discussions.

Mike Godwin, counsel for the Electronic Freedom Foundation, holds forth on this list. Jim Tyre, counsel for censorware.org, and Dwight Weightman, who specializes in ISP representation and ohter telecom and FCC-related matters, also is a regular.

Librarians also abound. Reporters stick their noses in. Arguments flare and die down. Most of the people on Cyberia are professionals for whom Internet usage issues are the stuff of life, and most of their arguments are lawyer-like, down to citations and references, although they throw in a little humor once in a while.

Three sample posts (not related to each other):

"Gosh darn it [name deleted], will you *stop* picking on California, please? Just because x-stop, Cybersitter, WebSense, SurfWatch and a bunch of others are here doesn't mean they're *all* here. Your pals at CyberPatrol are in the People's Republic of Cambridge, you know."

"Geoffrey Gussis has surveyed all the dispute policies around the world. Have you already studied http://www.digidem.com/legal/domain.html ? See also http://www.netnamesusa.com/country/ ."

"This is just warmed-over Red Lion Broadcasting ("Spectrum is scarce, therefore the state must regulate content!" Total non sequitur.) and it seems to me that the Supremes made very clear in Reno that the broadcast model was NOT the model to be applied to the net."
