This book examines the challenges presented to the law by information technology. It deals with exciting developments in such areas as criminal law,tort, contract and intellectual property law, which have occurred in response to developments in technology. This second edition encompasses discussion of e-commerce and internet regulation, and a deeper consideration of its effect on individual human rights such as privacy and freedom of expression is given. While the book is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students studying information technology law, it will also be of interest to practitioners and others whose business relies on modern information technology.
