Laws of the Internet

This much called-for title offers practical and detailed commentary on the legal issues arising from the internet. It takes account of the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) 2002 and the latest proposals to regulate secure electronic commerce. The issues covered include domain name registration, libel, liability of service providers, protection and exploitation of IP rights and taxation. The book concentrates on UK law but an overview of how matters have been interpreted in other jurisdictions is also included.
