Summary

Internet law is one of the fastest moving and most important areas of law to have emerged in the last few years. There is huge demand for up to the minute information and practical guidance on how to deal with the various legal issues arising from the massive expansion and commercial use of the internet. The law regulating the internet must deal not only with widely publicised problems such as internet libel,computer crime, and copyright on the world wide web but also with lesser known but vitally important issues relating to electronic contracting, intellectual property rights and electronic evidence and procedure. This book is one of the first to be written for UK lawyers on cyberlaw and contains advice on law and practice for academics, students and practitioners in England, Scotland and Wales. It will also be of interest abroad given the transnational nature of the internet.
