Book Description
The opening chapters deal with copyright and patent issues , both to introduce an area of law that is of considerable importance in practice, and to lay a foundation for understanding the unique features of computer technology as an intellectual creation. Other intellectual property issues are then discussed, focusing on attempts by businesses to use intellectual property to seize or maintain ownership of industry standards. Maggs (law, U. of Illinois-Urbana- Champaign), John T. Soma (law, U. of Denver), and James A. Sprowl, in private practice, thought to revise their computer law case book of a decade ago, but decided to start over instead. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Book Description
The Second Edition of Internet and Computer Law: Cases, Comments, and Questions reflects many important developments in this rapidly changing field. The text includes a new chapter on computer and internet crime, and includes many important recent cases that were decided since the publication of the first edition. The authors have chosen cases that are both important and teachable. The text consists of key-issue cases such as those involving Altai, Napster, and MP3, plus extensive trademark and domain name arbitration. By covering older cases in notes, the patents chapter is able to include the latest federal circuit decisions on the patentability of software, computer-implemented business methods, and Internet techniques. The chapters of the book are fully independent, allowing law teachers to design a course suiting their preferences and tailored to the number of available classroom hours. About half the book is devoted to intellectual property and could be used in a short course on Internet and computer intellectual property.

Book Description
The common fallacy regarding cyberspace is that the Internet is a new jurisdiction, in which none of the existing rules and regulations apply. However, all the actors involved in an Internet transaction live in one or more existing jurisdictions, so rather than being unregulated, the Internet is arguably highly regulated. Worse, much of this law and regulation is contradictory and difficult, or impossible, to comply with. This 2004 book takes a global view of the fundamental legal issues raised by the advent of the Internet as an international communications mechanism. Legal and other materials are integrated to support the discussion of how technological, economic and political factors are shaping the law governing the Internet. Global trends in legal issues are addressed and the effectiveness of potential mechanisms for legal change that are applicable to Internet law are also examined. Of interest to students and practitioners in computer and electronic commerce law.
