Technology-Induced Legal Change
Definition
The principle that when new technologies disrupt existing legal and economic arrangements, law adapts (sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly) to address the disruption. Historically, courts and legislatures balance innovation against disrupted interests, establishing new legal frameworks. The Wright brothers' airplane, FM radio, VCRs, and cable TV all triggered legal adaptation.
