Product Description
At the same time, the unprecedented power offered by electronic media also threatens the previous paradigm of individual privacy, allowing strangers to bombard our electronic mailboxes with spam or track our Internet surfing and purchasing habits. New technologies pose challenges to the purveyors of copyrighted content, as the costs of distribution decline and the ease of unauthorized copying forces new business models. At the beginning of a new millennium, it is clear that electronic media and privacy issues will continue to be of critical concern to companies doing business on the Internet, to individual consumers, to governmental agencies, and to our society as a whole.
This handbook is an invaluable resource for legal counsel and global business leaders, as well as to anyone who wishes to litigate, research or study the issues that arise when law and technology intersect. The handbook is divided into eight substantive areas that provide the greatest impact on companies with an Internet presence:
*Defamation
*Content and Speech Regulation
*Copyright
*Trademark
*Confidential Information
*Electronic Contracts
*Privacy and Data Collection
*Marketing Issues
