Abstract
Computer technology is changing faster than the laws governing it, raising the question of whether laws formuluted to address conflicts arising in the "real world" are applicable to conflicts in "cyberspace." This question is particularly relevant to the debate over sexually explicit material on the Internet. This article argues that because the Supreme Court's current approach to the obscenity is not transferable to cyberspace, a different legal framework is necessary for dealing with" cybersmut. "

Long established as the leading publication in its field, the journal of Commonwealth and Comparative Politics contains scholarly articles which both report original research on the politics of Commonwealth countries and relate their findings to issues of general significance for students of comparative politics. The journal also publishes work on the politics of other states where such work is of interest for comparative politics generally or where it enables comparisons to be made with Commonwealth countries.
