Synopsis
This successful book offers students and practitioners an up-to-date overview of developments in Internet law and practice. The editors have once again assembled a team of expert authors to write about those aspects of Internet law which are of special importance in the global regulation of the Internet and focused around three principal themes—e-commerce, intellectual property, and privacy, data protection and cyber-crime with, in addition, a major contribution on Internet Governance. This edition incorporates for the first time areas such as data protection, privacy and electronic surveillance, cyber-crime and cyber security, jurisdiction and dispute resolution online. The section on IP contains a clear and comprehensive analysis of the ways in which IP and the Internet intersect, including coverage of open source licenses and the IP problems around search engines. The new edition also takes account of all current cases and legislation, including the draft revised EC Telecoms Package and the Audio Visual Media Services Directive.
This book will be essential reading for students, teachers and practitioners interested in Internet law and practice as well as technologists and social scientists.
