Sex, drugs and rock �n� roll: how the internet has changed the rules of the game

�Sex, drugs, and rock �n� roll�, the theme of this issue, can be seen asa metaphor for the fundamental parts of our lives in which we engage in private and social action and decision making. This special issue will explore how the internet has dramatically changed the way we engage in these activities. We believe that increased information access and the ability to easily connect with like-minded people now present us with new and varied options when it comes to managing and living our lives. Meanwhile, companies are using the internet to market and sell sex, drugs and music, even as governments try and regulate them.

Topics of interest may focus on, but are not restricted to: Descriptive, evaluative and empirical papers that look at the role of the internet in providing online information on matters of sex, drugs (legal and illegal) and music. Studies regarding the online procurement of sex, drugs and music are also sought. Possible areas include, but are not limited to:

Drugs, medicine and healing � online medical information advice and procurement in both traditional and alternative medical/healing systems � communities of medical/healing practice � illness-centered support groups.

Music � communities of interest (bands and fans) � iTunes and new forms of music distribution.

Sex and love � dating and marriage services � pornography.

All papers will be double-blind peer reviewed. Articles should not normally exceed 6,000 words including references. References must be in the Emerald house style, and a structured abstract plus brief author bio data must accompany each submission.
