Law and the Internet
By
Lilian Edwards and Charlotte Waelde
Description
Following the very successful
publication of their earlier book Law and the Internet (Hart
Publishing,1997) the same editorial team have now assembled a number
of specialist authors to write about those aspects of law which are
of special importance to the burgeoning arena of electronic commerce.
These issues can be grouped into three main sections, which is
reflected in the organisation of this book: intellectual property;
e-commerce; and content liability. Within these sections, each author
provides an expert analysis of the underlying principles governing
the law, an account of recent case law and policy developments, and a
practical guide to the way the current law operates.
This book will be essential reading for
practitioners, teachers and students interested in internet law and
practice.
