1.0 out of 5 stars One Disappointing Reference Book, May 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cyberlaw: What You Need to Know about Doing Business Online (Paperback)

I bought this book hoping to gain a solid understanding
of the potential legal "bullets" (contract disputes, copy-
right issues, etc.) that an Internet entrepreneur should be
on the lookout to avoid...

What I got instead was a 250-page essay on the history
of the (Canadian) legal system and the field of computer
science...

Clearly intended as a college textbook, this book is
profoundly misleading in its subtitle, "What You Need
to Know About Doing Business Online."

I would avoid it.

This review is from: Cyberlaw: What You Need to Know about Doing Business Online (Paperback)

It's scary. No fault of the writer's, because it made sense *3* years ago, but that would be like trying to sell a book in 1997 that is entitled "What Fax Machines Can Do For Your Business" or a 1948 book on "Why Your Company Needs Telephones". Doesn't anyone have anything new?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Balance of the Business and Legal Issues on the Net!, April 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Cyberlaw: What You Need to Know about Doing Business Online (Paperback)

This book serves well in educating business executives on both the legal and business issues which are often overlooked in today's business transactions over the Internet.
Although I've not finished the book, this book at first read seems much too valuable to put down!
