Henrik Spang-Hanssen is Danish Supreme Court attorney-at-law and has since 1999 done research mainly on Cyberspace Jurisdictional questions at Santa Clara and Stanford Universities, California. His book deals with Public International Law on Jurisdiction and Cyberspace. The first part deals with the technicality of firewalls and filters on public international computer networks, anti-censorware, censoring and efficiency of filters. The second part deals with public international law on jurisdiction and public international computer networks, especially if it is possible to divide Cyberspace into present jurisdictions by use of software, in particular firewalls and filters. Amongst others, it deals thoroughly with the schism in the Yahoo! Inc. case about a business website accessible in France but made for Americans. A French court has issued an order to Yahoo! to reengineer its websites so Frenchmen cannot see what France regards as harmful and illegal material on Yahool's American websites. Yahoo! has asked California courts to determine that the French order is not enforceable in the United States.

This review is from: Cyberspace & International Law on Jurisdiction: Possibilities of Dividing Cyberspace into Jurisdiction With Help of Filters And Firewall Software (Paperback)

This book is an encyclopedia that everyone involved with the Internet should have.

He is one of very few legal Scholars in the world to have gone so deeply into this subject.

What is particular noteworthy about this publication is the fact that Spang-Hanssen identifies the issues that will frame the legal and technological debates for years to come.
