About this title

Review:

Along with the explosive growth of the Net come many thorny legal questions. In this extremely readable yet comprehensive look at these questions, the author provides valuable guidance. He covers copyrights, trademarks, intellectual property, defamation, privacy, software piracy, and a variety of other matters. The underlying legal principles, as well as pertinent case law, are offered so that lawyers, information systems administrators, and other professionals who use the Net can make their way through rather murky legal waters. This is the best, most complete legal treatment of online issues available.
