An essential read and invaluable resource, 2002-03-21
Computer Law edited by Reed and Angel is now in its fourth edition demonstrating the rapidly developing and continually changing nature of this area of law. It is written in a clear and comprehensive way ensuring the reader is not required to have any prior knowledge or understanding of either the law or of computer systems. Yet, the extensive detail included in the text provides the more knowledgeable reader with adequate additional information to undertake a deeper analysis of the issues raised. To anyone with an interest in these fields, either from a legal or an IT approach, this text is likely to become an invaluable resource. It presents detailed coverage of specific legal issues to be considered through an information technology perspective. Reference is made to how existing legal principles can give rise to particular problems when applied in this context and possible solutions to these conflicts are put forward, thereby adding a practical dimension to the study of the subject.The book includes fourteen chapters covering a spectrum of subjects falling within the broad remit of computer law. The chapters have been written by a number of contributors currently working either within industry or academia and their résumés make for impressive reading. The book includes chapters on Liability, Copyright, Electronic Commerce, Patent Protection for Computer-Related Inventions and Data Protection, examples which have been selected to illustrate how topical, relevant areas of law are addressed by this text. Each chapter examines in detail the legal issues raised, discussing the provisions of applicable legislation and related case law. To summarise, Computer Law is suitable for all levels of readership, providing a wealth of information in a clear, accessible way for newcomers but with sufficient detail for those wishing to undertake a more in depth examination of issues.
Dont wate your money on this book, 2004-02-24
Unlñess you are an MIT graduate, whith a scholarship from NASA you will not understand this book. And it is oriented to lawyers!!!!!!
A good book on the subject, 2008-04-29
Of course the book is meant to be read by lawyers. This is a complex subject but the book is comprehensive and sufficiently detailed. Overall a very good reference for lawyers interested in the IT industry. I had most of the writers as lecturers at Queen Mary's LLM. Most of the chapters covered in the book correspond with subjects covered in the master. Deserves at least 4 stars...
