In this update of the 1997 edition, Regulating Cyberspace (Hart), 14 papers examine Internet law as a hybrid of such traditional legal areas as intellectual property law, commercial law, and contract law. Following an introduction to the Internet for lawyers, UK contributors address e-commerce issues, intellectual property, and content liability. Includes tables of cases and legislation, and year 2000 directives of the European Parliament and Council. Edwards and Waelde are both with the School of Law at the U. of Edinburgh.
