It includes case studies of famous or important cases and issues, such as the Clipper encryption affair, and cases involving copyright on networks. Each chapter covers a different area of law or legal procedure as it relates to the online world, such as privacy, property rights and legal principles.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Netlaw is designed to keep Net users out of trouble. Longtime online legal expert Lance Rose takes some of the thorny legal issues that arise for users of online services, and offers reasonable, rational assessments of copyright, precedents, laws, individual rights, and risks of all kinds of online activity. In many cases, of course, there simply are no precedents to the legal tangles one might uncover on the Net. Rose nicely summarizes what is possible and probable legally in the many gray areas.
It's not a bad idea to be aware of the legal issues just out of principle, but if you're actively engaged in conducting business on the Web, preparing and distributing online content, or similar activities, you'll find this book an objective guide to the legal landscape online.

Really a great book. Mr Rose ability of writing in plain english without sacrifying the purity of legal language is unique.

We're waiting for the next edition, come on, Lance||

This review is from: Netlaw: Your Rights in the Online World (Paperback)
Although it's a few years old, NetLaw still does a great job outlining the various legal issues that affect Internet users and service providers.Although most people will use this book as a reference, I really enjoyed reading it from cover to cover. Having done so, it makes a great reference.
