Abstract	Avec l’avènement du commerce électronique, le droit a été ressenti comme une possible entrave à la liberté des échanges telle que le permettait le médium internet. Certains ont craint un vide juridique, d’autres ont plaidé pour une sécurité accrue en recommandant l’usage de techniques particulières. Toutes les branches du droit ont ainsi été interpellées et concernées. Toutefois certaines plus que d’autres.Tout d’abord, pour développer le marché du commerce électronique, il faut garantir la confiance: confiance entre les parties, confiance à l’égard des tiers. L’encadrement de la liberté contractuelle et la protection des cocontractants en position de faiblesse doivent, donc, être pris en compte. Informations, données, créations intellectuelles, sont aujourd’hui les «objets» privilégiés du commerce électronique et la circulation de ces «objets» doit tenir compte des droits privatifs ou réservés que sont les droits d’auteur ou les droits à la protection de la vie privée. Enfin, les demandes de sécurité juridique sont liées à une demande de sécurité technique et c’est l’interdépendance entre ces deux demandes qui a fondé l’évolution du droit de la preuve.Où se fait cette évolution du droit? Principalement à Bruxelles mais aussi dans les organisations internationales. Les directives européennes sont — pour les plus importantes d’entre elles — en cours de transposition et l’occasion de ces transpositions, au-delà d’une application stricte des directives, invite les pouvoirs publics français à encourager une réflexion plus large, de l’ensemble des acteurs concernés, sur les enjeux de la régulation de la Société de l’Information.Given the advent of electronic commerce, the law has been seen as possibly fettering the freedom of trade that Internet allows. Some experts worry about a legal vacuum, whereas others are recommending specific techniques while arguing for increased security. All branches of the law have to cope with this new phenomenon, even though some are more concerned than others.To develop the electronic marketplace, confidence must be built up between all parties and toward third parties. The freedom to make contracts and the protection of the weaker parties to a contract must come under consideration. At present, electronic transactions mainly involve information, data and intellectual creations. The circulation of these «objects» must fall under laws about intellectual property or the right to privacy. Calls for increased legal security are linked to demands for technical security — the interdependence between these two has spurred new legal developments about the admissibility of evidence.Where are these developments in the law occurring? Mainly in Brussels but also in international organizations. European directives (the major ones among them) are now being transposed in national law. This opportunity, beyond the strict application of directives, provides French public authorities with the chance to appeal to all parties to work out broader views about what is at stake in regulating the Information Society.
