High Marks for the Internet Legal Guide

"The Internet Legal Guide is a fascinating exploration of discovery in understanding the legal frontiers of the Internet. Dennis Powers does an immense service for all of us in an Internet form of business with this comprehensive and thorough guide." --Ahnalira Koan, Laughing Place Travel (www.ourlaughingplace.com)

"I feel that this book is invaluable and a must read not only for my management team and all of my employees, but also my clients. I especially appreciated the text from actual agreement examples, as well as the discussions of provisions that followed them. I encourage anyone and everyone to buy and read this book twice. The first time to show you everything you have been doing wrong, and the second time to learn how to do it right the next time." --Jim Teece, President and Chief Executive Officer, Project A, Inc. (www.ProjectA.com)

"This book is rich in content and practical advice. It is filled with informative as well as entertaining descriptions of the latest developments in cyberlaw. Most importantly, it gives anyone interested in doing business on the Web the know-how to avoid costly legal pitfalls and problems." --Ray August, Professor of Business Law (http://august1.com/about/)

"What I really like about this book is that it takes a business approach to Internet issues. This is a book for business people with an eye to the bottom line, and how businesses can capitalize on the Web and not get entangled in legal issues. The Internet Legal Guide is essential reading for small business owners, who can not afford the luxury of an in-house legal counsel. A savvy business owner will find this book a road map to turn the Web from threat to opportunity." --Kevin Talbert, Chief Information Officer, Southern Oregon University

"The New Economy is arriving. Even as the stock market and businesses adjust to absorb the 'irrational exuberance' of the late 1990s, consumers and businesses continue unabated in their march to use technology and the Internet to reduce costs, to increase profits, to improve service, to increase choice, and generally to increase the efficiency and potential of all that we do. Dennis Powers has written a timely and informative book to help prepare the nonlawyer, and even to educate lawyers, to prepare for and benefit from this new online world." --Richard Keck, Partner, Telecommunications and Electronic Commerce Practice Group, Troutman Sanders LLP

"A wonderful book that melds the practical into the legal, so we all can navigate our virtual twenty-first-century operations through today s legal-infested waters. I wish I had had it two years ago!! I could have saved a lot of time and legal costs when I was organizing my Internet company. It s so convenient and efficient to have all the material in one place. (The good news is I can still save and benefit from the many excellent ideas.)" --Charles "Hop" Fuhrmann, Chairman, HealthyPlace.com, Inc.; Chairman and CEO, Texaco Limited

More About the Author

Whether fishing for salmon, white-water kayaking, or wilderness hiking, my passion is with the outdoors. My love for the sea dates back to waterskiing in the Atlantic Ocean off New Jersey (when growing up) and sailing in regattas. When I headed to the West Coast after my education, I bodysurfed from the California coast to Hawaii.

Early on, my librarian mother would bring home her favorite books for me to read, and I found new worlds of adventures and different civilizations. From selling shirts to hauling lumber, I worked at different jobs to earn my education. I received a BA from the University of Colorado, a J.D. from the University of Denver Law School (J.D.), and then an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. While working for large corporations in the financial fields, I dreamed about adventure and writing books. I finally took the plunge by moving to Santa Barbara, California, and later forming a law practice'all to have the time to write. I started writing poetry, newspaper and magazine articles, fiction, and nonfiction works, earning my keep during the day while writing at night.

Deciding that teaching would give me more time to write, I joined the faculty in 1995 at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon, and taught business law. My first books were in the financial and legal fields, as I learned the publishing world. In 1999, the publisher selected my non-fiction work, THE OFFICE ROMANCE, to be that year's lead book and I headed out on a national book tour.

But my love has always been with the sea, and I continued researching maritime subjects. In 2005, my book THE RAGING SEA, about the 1964 devastating tsunami that crashed down the U.S. West Coast, was published. My next book TREASURE SHIP came out one year later, which describes the search and final locating, over 125-years later, of a long-lost, gold-bearing, steamship. SENTINEL OF THE SEAS, which is about the most dangerous, expensive, and remote lighthouse built in this country, came about in 2007. Next, TAKING THE Sea--or a book about the old-time wreckers, or salvagers, using the experiences of one of the most talked about, Captain T.P.H. Whitelaw--was brought out. In 2010, I was very pleased that my book, TALES OF THE SEVEN SEAS: THE ESCAPADES OF CAPTAIN DYNAMITE JOHNNY O'BRIEN--was published. This book reaches through the life of a very charismatic sea captain of old to show what traveling was really like over the oceans of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. For more on these books, see WWW.DENNISPOWERSBOOKS.COM.

My interest in the sea is more than about the ocean's awesome power, effects, and maritime history. It is about common folks like all of us who are forced to reach to uncommon levels of courage in order to survive and under challenges that most find daunting. It is also about the times those people lived--and about life over the seaven seas.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid legal advise, March 14, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Internet Legal Guide: Everything You Need to Know When Doing Business Online (Paperback)
Having worked in this area for a while it was a pleasure to finally read a book that can fill in so many of the holes. This guide covers all the legal area of the internet. The examples are especially helpful -- and interesting. The complicate legal areas are explained in reasonable language. There are very good sections on trademark and domain names, and on the legal problem with setting up your own web site.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars Plus, January 20, 2002
This review is from: The Internet Legal Guide: Everything You Need to Know When Doing Business Online (Paperback)
If you are in the dark concerning the questions of operating a business online you must read Dennis Powers" THE INTERNET LEGAL GUIDE. As the title suggests, one is guided thru business, marketing, and web site issues one must consider if contemplating an online business or already running a web site. Numerous legal agreement examples supplement the legal issues written about which every online business will encounter. This easy reading, non-legalese approach from a lawyer with all his legal experience made for an enlightening and most informative book.
