Internet Law

The common fallacy regarding cyberspace is that the Internet
is a new jurisdiction, in which none of the existing rules and
regulations apply. However, all the actors involved in an Internet
transaction live in one or more existing jurisdictions, so rather than
being unregulated, the Internet is arguably highly regulated. Worse, much
of this law and regulation is contradictory and difficult, or impossible,
to comply with. This book takes a global view of the fundamental legal issues
raised by the advent of the Internet as an international communications mechanism.
Legal and other materials are integrated to support the discussion of
how technological, economic and political factors are shaping the law
governing the Internet. Global trends in legal issues are addressed
and the effectiveness of potential mechanisms for legal change that
are applicable to Internet law are also examined. Of interest to students
and practitioners in computer and electronic commerce law.
