Online law : the SPA's legal guide to doing business on the Internet /

Very much a book on Internet law, this thorough resource provides access to over 500 pages of complex legal material. It offers intriguing chapters on jurisdiction and taxation of online commerce, and the section on a signed writing and the statute of frauds is written from a telecommunications perspective. Annotated endnotes are done in legal citation. The only drawback is the insertion of sometimes confusing cross references. A member (like his contributors) of McBride Baker & Coles, a Chicago law firm, editor Smedinghoff has written extensively on the legal aspects of software. His book is more accessible and readable than Edward A. Cavazos and Gavin Morin's Cyberspace and the Law (MIT, 1994) and is a sure companion for any computer law course. Recommended for all libraries and essential for law libraries.‘Alan Schroeder, Chapman Univ. Sch. of Law, Huntington Beach, Cal. (c) Copyright 2010.
