Amazon.com 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Necessary reference material for "Cyberlawyers"(tm),
By A Customer
This review is from: CyberLaw: The Law of the Internet (Hardcover)
Overview: CyberLaw is, indeed, a good reference book, replete with footnotes, that will be useful to business professionals, lawyers, and law students seeking an introduction to the evolving law governing the digital age. It supplements information that is available for free online at http://www.cyberlaw.com/, and a later chapter provides a fascinating chronology of significant events of the 1990s.The full text of this review is online at: http://www.redstreet.com/readingroom/reviews/cyberlaw.htm

Good but Dated,
By Rush Nigut (IA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CyberLaw: The Law of the Internet (Hardcover)
This is a great book for its time but the information is 10 years old. Ten years is a long time by cyberstandards. For more up-to-date Cyberlaw, check out Internet Laws Affecting Your Company, by IP attorney Brett Trout. Although not as comprehensive, it was written in 2005. I found it very useful.

Interesting, educational, but OLD hat,

This review is from: CyberLaw: The Law of the Internet (Hardcover)
This book was required for a graduate course I took in 'cyberlaw' in 2003. Problem: This book only covers Cyberlaw extensively up to about 1992. After that it only mentions laws that have passed up to 1994. For a topic that is inherently derived from the use of the Internet this doesn't strike me as being very up-to-date.However, seeing as we used this text in our class I guess that means there aren't too many good texts out there on the subject. Maybe this is your best bet. But, it really is outdated.
