Disappointed...
I read this book and was very disappointed.The title is mis-leading, as there is really very little information about protecting yourself on-line.What little information could be found was introductory to say the least. I also felt that the book wasa lobbying tool, trying to bring me over tothe civil liberties world.A thumbs down...

Had to counter that one-star review
Sure, it's not too detailed, and sure, a lot of tech people are already going to be familiar with a lot of the information in it, but for novices, it's great. It's a great book to give the uncle who keeps sending you falsevirus alarms, or the grandmother that doesn't understand the civilliberties implications of the Communications Decency Act -- or the cousinthat thinks hackers are going to break into her bank account if she buys amodem.

Not worth the money.
If you need a book about how to protect yourself online don't buy thisone, it won't help you. The authors are just taking stock of the well-knownproblems in the Internet and offer some links to other sides. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Setting up a business on the Net often seems simpler than setting up more traditional businesses.But from a legal point of view, you still face the same risks--and sometimes even more risks. Is there achance that the picture you posted on your Web site will get you sued for copyright infringement? Can youprotect yourself from being responsible for costly mistakes by your Web site developer? If you have chatrooms or a bulletin board, are you going to be held responsible for illegal activities by those who post?While there's no substitute for having a good lawyer, many of the situations faced by a huge number ofNet-based businesses can be covered by a handful of standard forms. Authors Brinson and Radcliff havecollected a dozen of the most necessary forms in this book. Beyond offering the forms themselves, theauthors briefly discuss the issues behind the documents. Preceding each form is an overview of thesituations that it covers, a checklist of issues that it involves and, when applicable, tips for negotiating theagreements with other parties. The book includes the following forms: an agreement for the developmentand transfer of copyrighted materials; a content license for text, photo, or video material; terms andconditions for Web site use; a Web site development agreement; an Internet advertising contract; adocument of Internet use policy; a clickwrap agreement for selling or licensing software; a linkingagreement, a permission-to-link form, and an agreement for the transfer of a domain name. ...

Warning to IP's
Although the contracts and forms provided in this book are fairly comprehensive and can give you a good idea of what is involved in putting together contracts, most of them have been drafted to address the needs and concerns of the person hiring a developer.If you are independant webdeveloper looking for a site development contract template - look elsewhere- this contract is extemely client-biased and would take a lot of timeand/or a lawyer to re-work it.

Helpful but flawed
This book is very helpful- use the forms only as a base though. The author apparently has NEVER heard of proofreading a contract. I have found numerous mistakes in many of the forms which could pose potential legal problems. Of serious note is the misnumbering of paragraphs and sections, some of which are referred to later in the form. If you do not carefully edit these forms you might end up with a worthless -worse yet, damaging, legal document. ... Read more
