Features: Network Law: Text and Cases is a textbook written for business students. Information technology is not only related to business; it has become an integral part of the economy. Business news media remind us of this. If you were to ask business students what additional business law courses they would like to take, their answers would not surprise us. What they want to learn and what they need is a course in network law. The author's decision to write this textbook is straightforward: to equip business students with legal skills, preparing them for the role of e-commerce managers in the 21st century. Network Law: Text and Cases is a textbook based on legal principles and the commercial law knowledge of business school professors. In any case, the laws applicable in the real world are equally applicable in the digital world. Shrink-wrap contracts are still contracts. Registering domain names, websites, and business methods with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office still falls under intellectual property law. Court rulings in e-commerce jurisdiction cases are based on interactions between companies and end-users, but the law still requires rulings to comply with legal provisions and adhere to due process clauses. Privacy, with its digital characteristics, presents new dimensions, but the legal analysis remains the same. Throughout the textbook, the author aims to illustrate how network law relies on the offline analysis of traditional legal principles. The textbook includes key cases and legal provisions related to network law, with clear and insightful explanations by the author. The author sincerely hopes readers will truly enjoy this textbook and find it inspiring, filled with effective and motivating rules of network law.
