Gringras: The Laws of the Internet: Fourth Edition

The free flow of information and services around the world via the Internet constantly creates new issues and problems, such as rules of jurisdiction and applicable law, and how new products and services should be regulated. The Laws of the Internet is a key legal text covering UK laws relevant to the Internet, including ecommerce, copyright, online contracting, data protection, and content related issues. It approaches this complicated area in a clear and straightforward way while addressing more difficult issues for which there is sometimes no legal history as yet, or, at best, very little. This fourth edition is updated throughout, including specific coverage of: social media and networking * Interflora v Marks & Spencer and other UK keywords case law * new distance selling regime requirements * the impact of changes in data protection legislation * virtual goods.
