'Lipton does a good job of explaining both the technological aspects of the law and the legal aspects of technology. The book is written in an engaging style, and is a good introduction on the subject.'--Sarah Sutherland, Canadian Law Library Review'This book provides a detailed and methodical overview of the contemporary contours of cyberspace law. It does a wonderful job explaining the evolution of online copyright law and trademark law issues, and also of predicting future developments. It also provides a clear and handy account of online privacy law, and the speech torts, especially defamation. This updated treatment of essential cyberspace law topics makes an exceptionally useful contribution to the field.'--Ann Bartow, Pace University School of Law, US'As one of the long-time leading scholars in the field, Professor Lipton has written a timely reconceptualization of cyberlaw as few others could do. In this comprehensive overview, Professor Lipton presents the nuances of the subject in an accessible manner that will be of interest not only to legal scholars or practitioners specializing in cyberlaw, but to anyone who has reflected on the unique nature of cyberspace and its regulation.'--Marshall A. Leaffer, Indiana University, Maurer School of Law, US
