| Summary: | "The Internet has revolutionized the way in which we communicate. It is, at the same time, both a bastion of free speech and a medium of potentially limitless defamation. The first edition of The Law of Defamation and the Internet quickly became the standard text for media and informationtechnology practitioners and students seeking to understand this novel and growing area of the law. It attracted wide praise in England, the United States and Australia for its clarity and practical approach. The second edition will build on the strengths of the first. As well as comprehensivelyupdating the law, the coverage of European and American law is substantially expanded, as is the coverage of "hot" topics such as liability for linking and framing, and jurisdiction over foreign publications."--Publisher description. |
