Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Alas, this book is currently available only as a Special Order item and may take several weeks to obtain (or may even be out of print by time you read this review). But if you want comprehensive and authoritative analyses of the status of U.S. laws and precedents as of late-1995 and their relationship to the Internet, you would be well advised to place an order for this book anyway.
