This authoritative work describes the nature and growth of the law of the Internet and explains the legal obligations, opportunities, rights, and risks inherent in this complex medium.
“A valuable practitioner's guide to the...law of the Internet. It portrays the law as it is, a still evolving system in all it's complexity and contradiction.”
—Esther Dyson, President and EDventure Holding's Former Chair; ICANN Board and Former Chair; and Board Member Emeritus, Electronic Frontier Foundation
