Perspective analysis are particularly important in the ICT-law domain, since ICTs have known the most accelerated development in the last decades, and the deepest social effects (determined the passage from the industrial society to the social formation labelled by us information, knowledge or network society), matched by pervasive legal change (from data protection, to intellectual property, to internet law). As ICT development and the ICT driven social evolution are still accelerating their steps, it is necessary that the law does not remain confined to current problems and established outcomes: it needs to look into the future scenarios for capturing the sense of dynamics now underway and for preparing adequate legal response.
