Global Internet Law in a Nutshell, 2d

This Nutshell begins with a review of the history, technology, and competing theories of the Internet that enables a deeper understanding of caselaw and statutory developments. It covers the history of the Internet through the evolving Web 3.0, competing theories of Internet governance, cyberjurisdiction and enforcement of judgments, choice and conflicts of law, cybertorts, online contracting and licensing, 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. It is an ideal starting point for Internet-related issues.
