Cyber Law is a comprehensive guide for navigating all legal aspects of the Internet. This book is a crucial asset for online businesses and entrepreneurs. "Whether you're doing business online as a company or a consumer, you need to understand your rights. Trout successfully places legal complexities into digital perspective with his latest book." -- Chris Pirillo - Founder of Lockergnome "CyberLaw is a must-read for anyone doing business-or just chatting or socializing - on the Internet. Without us realizing it, more and more laws are being passed each year, laws and restrictions that significantly increase the likelihood that you're skirting, or even breaking some laws when you post that restaurant review, write about the bad date you had last week, or complain about a previous employer. Your choices are easy: read CyberLaw or suffer the potential consequences." -- Dave Taylor, Entrepreneur and Strategic Business Consultant, Intuitive.com "Brett Trout has the bottom-line, honest, insightful, straightfowardest, most clear-headed take on intellectual property issues you could want. He's your way out of the maze." -- John Shirley, scriptwriter and author

Okay, I am the publisher; but look, I've read every page of this book, holding a microscope the entire time over the pages. I see a lot of manuscripts pass over my desk, and frankly, most go in the garbage can. This book is thorough and valuable -- what else could you want? It went straight to press!

Trout is an excellent source for information an your rights when dealing with the internet- and let's face it - today we are almost all dealing with the internet. This book is not just for businesses. This book is a must read if you are dealing with a sticky situation/transaction over the internet. I first started reading Trout's advice on his blog - useful, everyday, legal advice - and he even makes it interesting and FUNNY. I had to check out his book. This book covers all the bases. It is a great help to anyone doing business over the internet.
