Product Description
What company does not use the Internet to do business? Unfortunately, out of the millions of companies online, only a handful understands the hundreds of Internet laws that can bring their thriving business to a screeching halt. Whether it is a security issue or a problem with a website developer, “Internet Laws Affecting Your Company” gives you the tools to keep your business on firm legal footing and out of the courtroom. From email to intellectual property, “I… More >>

The book serves as a brisk review of the most common internet laws. These laws, such as, for example: I.P., DMCA, privacy and security laws, slander and libel, contracts, etc., must be well understood by almost anyone involved in operating a website. The cost of not knowing of what is legal or where liability ends can cost a fortune.
The book does well as a quick reference or internet law primer with a few injunctions brought up for further clarification. But I would not recommend the book for those who need detailed analysis of any internet law.
The book ends with ten likely legal oversights that could shutdown your website, a glossary, and a forms appendix, a privacy and acceptable use policy, and contractual agreements that you are free to use for your own company.

I currently manage an E-Commerce travel business and am very impressed with the information Mr. Trout has provided. I found the information very insightful and helpful in terms of avoiding any type of legal situations or protecting our rights. The sample policies were especially of great value to me. I highly recommend this book for all Internet related businesses.

After hearing Mr. Trout speak recently at a seminar, I decided to order his book. It contains a great deal of helpful information on Internet laws, and a valuable Glossary of terms. Mr. Trout obviously knows his subject very well.

How rare to find a book about a complex topic that clearly, precisely, and effectively illuminates the darker corners of a new continent just now being strung with lights. Mr. Trout’s book is easy to read, but not naive; clear without being facile; and, most importantly, useful without the clutter that often incapacitates resources whose primary goal is to navigate technical material. Need expert advice from an experienced and successful attorney? Turn to “Internet Laws” for guidance.
