Synopsis

The Standard text on computer and information technology law, this book analyses the unique legal problems which arise from computing technology and transactions carried out through the exchange of digital information rather than hu- man interaction. Topics covered range from contractual matters and intellectual property protection to electronic commerce, data protection and liability of internet service providers. Competition law issues are integrated into the various commercial sections as they arise to indicate their interaction with information technology law.

Review

Review from previous edition: "For any lawyer or aspiring lawyer interested in computer law, this book, edited by two experienced computer lawyers, furnishes a sound theoretical introduction, many of the authors being distinguished specialist academics or practitioners, or both. Since its
first edition 15 years ago, it still stands out for the range of issues it covers...It has rightly become a standard text...the book's overall scope, coverage and usefulness means that it is important reading for any lawyer who is professionally concerned with, or simply interested in, the evolving
and exciting subject of computer law."

-Rachel Burnett, New Law Journal

"I... an in-depth look at the minefield of computer law. It's a very clear and concise read ... has been revised recently to cover all the latest developments in this extremely fast-moving area of law. Now in its fifth edition, Computer Law is an invaluable resource for all business owners."
