Is the Internet Doomed?
Yes, if principles outlined in this book are not heeded.Strangely, the fundamental economics of copyright intellectual property have been glossed over by many eBusinesses seeking to grab "eyeballs" instead of dollars.No wonder so many "content sites" are failing.The selection of articles in this book is first rate and should be read by anyone in the publishing, music or software businesses.There is some advanced economic analysis with a fair bit of math, but the articles are quite accessible to non-economists like myself.You have just read a review of a book.Is my review "worth" anything?What did it "cost?"Will all books eventually by digital? Read this book to find out. ... Read more

An Amazing Resource
This book is an amazing resource to find factual information needed to successfully represent clients in the practice of law.Recently, another lawyer asked me for advice on how to locate medical information about a surgical procedure that caused pain and scarring to his client.Although I do not do med mal cases, I knew this book would have the information he needed.I pulled out the book and there was Chapter 12--entirely devoted to medical resources on the Internet, including a heading "Starting Point Web Sites for Medical Research." Both of us were impressed, and my colleague wrote down the title and authors to order the book as soon as he returned to the office!The book includes other chapters on Accessing Public Records, Backgrounding Expert Witnesses, Competitive Intelligence Research, Statistical Research, and more.A resource that should be in every lawyer's office!

Easy to use - Even for Non-Lawyers
I'm not a lawyer and I find this book extremely useful and easy to use. Finally A Comprehensive Guide
As a lawyer, I spend a great deal of time searching for information. This book is a fantastic resource and I highly recommend it to others. Levitt takes a very complicated area and makes it simple. This book is worth the investment. ... Read more

Great Information For Criminal and Civil Case Forensics
There are many books on computer forensics investigations and incident response, but you won't find too many that tell you what you need to know to take the results of those forensic investigations and make it stand up in court. A Guide to Forensic Testimony (The Art and Practice of Presenting Testimony as an Expert Technical Witness) is an excellent book on this subject. Fred Chris Smith and Rebecca Gurley Bace share their knowledge and experience of the legal system and what it takes to make your computer forensic evidence stand up in court and what you need to do to sell yourself as an expert witness and stand up to cross-examination. The book covers a lot of legal technicalities as well as ethical and professional issues.
Leads through a legal minefield
After reading this book - more than once, I might add, I came away with a few impressions: Very good book, but a bit wordy.

read "Alan Turing: The Enigma"by Andrew Hodges instead
If your interest is in Alan Turing, and you are only just becoming familiar with him, you would probably be better served reading what many regard as not only an excellent biography of Alan Turing, but an excellent piece of biographical writing in and of itself, Andrews Hodges' ALAN TURING: THE ENIGMA.The current copy on the American Amazon site is an expanded and pricey edition, so you may want to go to the the United Kingdom Amazon site to get the slimmer, earlier edition, which not only costs less, but was also the basis for the award-winning play BREAKING THE CODE.After you've read Hodges' work, and wish to read more about Turing and his work and theories from other perspectives, then you may want to avail yourself on some of these other texts.

I wish other reviewers would take a step back
As a dual computer science and English major, I find it refreshing when I stumble upon a computer science book that surveys the field from a more literary and philosophical perspective. (Galloway's "Protocol" is another example of such a work that I've encountered recently.)
Sad ending to a great genius
This book gives a clear and accessible account of the life and the mathematical achievements of Alan Turing and his contributions to the development of cryptanalysis and the modern computer. Turing apparently committed suicide in the early 1950's because the British authorities were hounding him about his homosexuality. He was a man ahead of his time in one too many ways! ... Read more

A very well documented book...
...and you don't really have to be a geek to read this one. As a matter of fact, this book is also a very entertaining one, even if you're not a programmer or a computer scientist.
I hope that there is a 3.1 version
Having just read the book this summer (2004), much of the content that predicts the future points to current day reality.This only goes to show that both the visions of the future are never what is hoped for, and the more things change, the more they stay the same. Rehashed newspaper articles
No new revelations here. This story has been told in earlier books, and with more ground breaking impact. This is a case of the publisher hoping to capitalize on a big business story, but too late !! See earlier books on the Microsoft antitrust case, such as The Microsoft File. ... Read more

Dated, Biased, But Worth the Price
In general, I am a big fan of For Dummies books.However, this book does not live up the usually high For Dummies standard for two reasons.This book was written at the height of the dot-com bubble, and GreatDomains.com wrote this book. Domain Names for Dummies

Good content, a little dry, no CD-ROM included
I wanted to write up a quick review for you.The book has some excellent content, and covers all the important areas of running your own business and understanding all the legal issues involved.The sample contracts and agreements are detailed and provide an in-depth explanation for each section.For myself, it is being used to set up web site and be able to sell my software over the Internet.It isn't specifically geared towards people like myself, but it is one of the few books out there that deals with the very important area of Internet legal issues. Solid legal advise
Having worked in this area for a while it was a pleasure to finally read a book that can fill in so many of the holes.This guide covers all the legal area of the internet.The examples are especially helpful -- and interesting.The complicate legal areas are explained in reasonable language.There are very good sections on trademark and domain names, and on the legal problem with setting up your own web site.

You had better also read The Internet Legal Guide by Dennis M. Powers ($24.95, Wiley), an attorney who has done a first class job of providing "everything you need to know when doing business online." He's not bragging either. This book will teach you how to protect yourself from unwanted e-business or legal problems, avoid cyberlaw pitfalls, and get the most from your Net operations. Doing business on the Internet is a brave new world in many respects and this book will guide you through the legal aspects. ... Read more

how to resist business ideology
In this book, Liu makes a persuasive argument that knowledge workers can resist the dominant postcapitalist business ideology from the inside by developing an "ethos of the unknown." The argument is dense, both philosophically and historically, but the book provides one of the best summaries available of the development of knowledge work and its relation to "cool."
Disorganized insight
Full of striking observations but ultimately too disorganized and inconclusive to do justice to the question of the place of humanistic knowledge in a culture of knowledge that is "cool," technical, and purposive. ... Read more

Littlejohn Shinder writes a fairly topical analyses of various facets of cybercrime -including several- what can only be described as Computers 101 sections but if you're a typical n00b then it will all seem like a glorious epiphany.In Ch 4 she gets a little on the didactic side where she attempts to debunk the various stereotypes and cliched mindsets associated with the hacking community but she falls far short of any real insight.
Handy little book
Overall, a very good book.

This is a tough book to review as it tries to speak to two very different audiences -- corporate information security and law enforcement professionals.

Good Introductory Guide
Reed is undoubtedly one of the leading experts in this area. He presented his book in a way that students would find it informative. The discussion about the jurisdiction and choice of law issues on Internet is good supported by rules from different areas. Good research tool.

Poorly focused on Law, way too much on the technology
