Review & Description

This edition is fully updated to reflect the Digital Economy Act 2010 and changes to consumer protection law at EU level including the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive. Analysis of recent case law is also incorporated including, amongst others, the series of trade mark actions against eBay and copyrights suits against Google as well as the implications for IT contracts of BSkyB Ltd v HP Enterprise Services UK Ltd. All chapters have been revised to take into account the rapid evolution of the ways in which we consume, generate, store and exchange information, such as cloud computing, off-shoring and Web 2.0.

Now established as a standard text on computer and information technology law, this book analyses the unique legal problems which arise from computing technology and transactions carried out through the exchange of digital information rather than human interaction. Topics covered range from contractual matters and intellectual property protection to electronic commerce, data protection and liability of internet service providers. Competition law issues are integrated into the various commercial sections as they arise to indicate their interaction with information technology law.

Review & Description

This is the third edition of a successful book which offers students and practitioners an up-to-date overview of developments in internet law and practice. The editors have once again assembled a team of expert authors to write about those aspects of internet law which are of special importance in the global regulation of the internet. The book is focused around three principal themes — e-commerce, intellectual property (IP), and privacy, data protection, and cyber-crime with, in addition, a major contribution on internet governance. This edition incorporates, for the first time, areas such as data protection, privacy and electronic surveillance, cyber crime and cyber security, jurisdiction, and dispute resolution online. The section on IP contains clearer and more comprehensive analysis of the ways in which IP and the internet intersect, including coverage of open source licenses and the IP problems around search engines. The third edition also takes account of all current cases and legislation, including the draft revised EC Telecoms Package and the Audio Visual Media Services Directive. Law and the Internet: Third Edition will be essential reading for students, teachers, and practitioners interested in internet law and practice, as well as technologists and social scientists.
