Product Description
Advance praise for The GigaLaw Guide to Internet Law
“I read this book from cover to cover. The examples of case law are of enormous illustrative value. Some of them will raise your blood pressure (well, mine went up several notches, anyway). Well worth the time to read!”
—Vint Cerf, chairman, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
“Doug Isenberg pulls off the toughest hat trick in legal writing—he and his contributing authors map out the legal landscape of cyberspace in language accessible and friendly to lay readers, providing a comprehensive guide for lawyers who want to gain a quick grasp of cyberlaw, and they do all this with scholarly care for accuracy and precision.”

 Don't pay more than the cover price of this book - there are other books out there with more up-to-date info! January 17, 2007

I just received a copy of this book & had I known that the original price was just $17.95, I would not have paid so much money. Not only is this book overpriced, it is dated. Although there is some good information in this book, alot has happened since 2002 & there are better resources out there that are more current & don't cost a small fortune.
Buy the e-copy, or get something more current with just as much information like 'Issues in Internet Law'($17.71)

In a digital world of sequential processing, the Guide panders to our human parellel processing capabilities. Pattern is social impact, law involved and case study ... not necessarily in that order. Information is up-to-date. Purchased both the book and the digital copy. Love the book; have rarely used the digital except for keyword lookup. What truly makes the book worth five stars besides competence, is the choice of topics. So if you are into digital dirt such as software copyright violations, cybersquatting and digital trademark infringement ... this is a must-have book for you.

This is a great book-- it does an excellent job of explaining the concepts underlying the law and teaches you to THINK in legal terms. In that sense it is timeless...The author does a great job of explaining concepts and avoiding mumbo-jumbo.

Pros: Easy to read, comprehensive, good for law students, lawyers, and lay people alike! Read it, and you'll have complete understanding of current and past internet law.
Cons: the gigalaw.com website is more up to date.
As a law student, I took an internet course. Gigalaw Guide to Internet Law was, by far, my best resource. It wasn't an official text for the class, but I found it far more useful than the books we had to read. It supplied great examples to illustrate applicable law. I used it to study for exams, and it gave me complete coverage of all course topics.
Also, it really doesn't read like legalese. You could keep it on your coffee table for light reading.
If you are a business person who has to understand internet law, I highly recommend you read this book -- you'll learn all the same things that I learned in law school and will one day charge hundredss of dollars an hour to explain to you :) If you are a law student, this will serve as a great study guide.

Terrific book for folks with an interest, intellectual or practical, in how the law intersects with the Internet. Isenberg's explanations are readable and accessible. First rate.
