Cybernorms_group
Cybernorms began officially on March 1, 2009 as a research project by Dr Måns Svensson, Stefan Larsson, and Professor Håkan Hydén of the Sociology of Law department at the University of Lund.[1] The group researches how real-world norms interact with laws concerning file-sharing.[2] The group is currently led by head researcher Måns Svensson.[3] The group is exploring the rift between traditional society’s rules and the social norms that are generated from today's internet culture.[4] The group also maintains the blog Cybernormer, launched in March 2009, to create a venue for knowledge and discussion on how the Internet creates new societal norms. Also discussed are norms in the shape of legislation aiming at regulation of and controlling activities on the internet. The blog covers the groups' research within this field and occasional guests are brought in to write articles.
