Features: The law of e-commerce refers to the general term for legal norms that primarily regulate civil and commercial activities conducted on the basis of computer networks. This book begins by analyzing the various dilemmas and root causes of traditional law in the context of online business, combining empirical case studies. While respecting the consistency and stability of traditional law, it seeks revolutionary breakthroughs, aiming to establish a comprehensive legal system for e-commerce. This incorporates the latest domestic and international data and research findings, and has formed our own perspectives and insights on specific systems. The book indeed has notable strengths, with two particularly prominent ones. First, the structure is innovative. The entire book is divided into six parts: the system of subjects in e-commerce, property rights, legal acts, macro-control, torts and crimes, and legal application. This structure provides a reasonable entry point for the commercial law to engage in e-commerce. Second, the research achieves breakthroughs. Until now, research on e-commerce law has often started from the technical scope and rules, with a wealth of technical language filling the text, making the legal content relatively thin. This book, however, focuses on legal perspectives on technical issues, avoids getting entangled in technical details, and takes rights, obligations, and responsibilities as the main thread throughout the book, making it more like a legal work than any other e-commerce law book.
