[Air-L] public/private

['Gail Taylor]

In following the discussion, I'm not finding distinctions are being made with regard to research that is being conducted in public and private spaces on the Internet. Some researchers are conducting research on web pages that are publically available and password protected. Are you finding that institutions are more tightly regulating research that is being conducted on password protected pages in comparison to others that are publically accessible? Just curious due to a personal interest in the manner in which Internet-based processes are being regulated by business entities, including academic institutions.
