Global Internet Law in a Nutshell - Nutshell (Paperback)

The Global Internet in a Nutshell begins with a review of the history, technology, and competing theories of the Internet that enables a deeper understanding of case law and statutory developments discussed in the substantive chapters. It briefly covers the history of the Internet through the rapidly evolving Web 3.0, competing theories of Internet governance, cyber jurisdiction and enforcement of judgments, choice and conflicts of law, cybertorts, online contracting and licensing, the protection of online intellectual property assets, the protection of online privacy, criminal liability for Internet activity, and European Community directives such as the E-Commerce Directive, Brussels Regulation, and Rome I Regulation. The second edition presents a comprehensive review of cybertort and cybercrime developments including foreign cases. Each chapter of this revised edition reviews statutory and caselaw developments from the European Union as well as other foreign countries. This book is an ideal starting point for most Internet-related issues.
