    Examining the development and design of regulatory structures in the online environment, "The Regulation of Cyberspace" considers current practices and suggests a regulatory model that acknowledges its complexity and how it can be utilised by regulators to provide a more comprehensive regulatory structure for cyberspace. Drawing on the work of cyber-regulatory theorists, such as Yochai Benkler, Andrew Shapiro and Lawrence Lessig, the author explores and analyses how all forms of control, including design and market controls, as well as traditional command and control regulation, are applied within the complex and flexible environment of cyberspace. It includes chapters on: the role of the cyberlawyer; environmental design and control; online communities; and cyber laws and cyber law-making. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in law and information technology....

    This book examines the political and developmental implications of the new information and communication technologies (NICT) in the Third World. Whereas the concept of the 'digital divide' tends to focus on technological and quantitative indicators, this work stresses the crucial role played by the political regime type, the pursued development model and the specific configuration of actors and decision-making dynamics. Two starkly contrasting Third World countries, state-socialist Cuba and the Latin America's "show-case democracy" Costa Rica, were chosen for two in-depth empirical country studies....

    The European Union has long sought to create a single financial area across Europe where consumers in one country benefit from financial markets and activities in other countries. With the emergence of the Internet as a platform for the provision of online banking services, the creation of a pan-European market for banking services appeared a realistic proposition. In practice, however, this has not happened. This book asks why and argues that the creation of banking markets via the Internet relies on both available technologies and appropriate laws and regulations. The institutional and legal framework for online banking services in the single European market are examined, as is the level of legal harmonization achieved in the UK, France and Germany under the influence of the EU Directives pertaining to online banking activities....

    From the choice and protection of a domain name to the development of a Web site, this book provides all the necessary forms and information for setting up and running a business online. Each form can be photocopied and a checklist of issues and negotiating tips is included....

    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 a chance that the picture you posted on your Web site will get you sued for copyright infringement? Can you protect yourself from being responsible for costly mistakes by your Web site developer? If you have chat rooms 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 of Net-based businesses can be covered by a handful of standard forms. Authors Brinson and Radcliff have collected a dozen of the most necessary forms in this book. Beyond offering the forms themselves, the authors briefly discuss the issues behind the documents. Preceding each form is an overview of the situations that it covers, a checklist of issues that it involves and, when applicable, tips for negotiating the agreements with other parties. The book includes the following forms: an agreement for the development and transfer of copyrighted materials; a content license for text, photo, or video material; terms and conditions for Web site use; a Web site development agreement; an Internet advertising contract; a document of Internet use policy; a clickwrap agreement for selling or licensing software; a linking agreement, a permission-to-link form, and an agreement for the transfer of a domain name....
