This blog has moved

modern thinking networks' blog has re-located to its own domain. It was great fun experimenting with Blogspot, and I enjoyed a lot, but I have decided that it is time to evolve and host my own site build conform to W3C standards and powered by Drupal - open source CMS.

Fields of work

This post is about my different fields of work and the relatively wide scope of my professional activities. In other words, what I’m up to:

I’m consulting at modern thinking networks, drafting Internet agreements and advising startups and ISPs on Internet Law, eBizz legal strategy and high tech legal matters more generally.

Moreover, I’m giving a hand with the development of my website that will be build using Drupal CMS. I’ll be teaching Internet Law and Business Law at UOC University. I’ve been also authoring academic materials for the University re IP Law and the entrepreneur’s guide to Business Law.

I’m returning to Business Engineering School La Salle on a part-time basis to continue lecturing on the legal aspects of web2.0 utilities. Next year my sessions at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid on DRMs and technological measures are on the horizon.

In between, I’m carry on with more publications online, blogging, my European PhD and find more time to support my modest angel investments.

Have a nice weekend all!

My website will be built using the opensource Drupal content management system modernthinkingnetworks
