Internet Law: A Concise Guide to Regulation around the World (eBook)

Internet Law is a clear, concise and invaluable guide to the development and scope of regulation of the Internet worldwide. The Internet is a world of its own, independent of any country. Its regulation embraces a convoluted and ever-evolving compendium of international agreements, national legislation, local laws, regulations, and commercial customs affecting several legal practise avenues.

The author dispenses a lucid description and analysis for each of the nine key market jurisdictions—the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore—of how courts and regulators treat Internet activity in the following terms:

• what should be available via the Internet;
• what should not be available;
• how transactions should be conducted;
• how disputes should be resolved; and
• how violations of laws and regulations should be treated.

Individual chapters examine the role of Internet regulation in matters involving intellectual property, competition, privacy and data protection, artificial intelligence, cybercurrency, cybercrime, and cyberwarfare.

Along with its extensive review of protections available to international Internet businesses and its insights into the direction that Internet regulation is taking globally, this up-to-date fund of practical knowledge about this rapidly developing regulatory landscape both at international and at national and local levels will be highly appreciated by practitioners, regulators, policymakers, Internet companies, Internet users, and academics for its information about the numerous areas of law relating to the Internet.
