    The bricks and mortar of commercial law as we know it are crumbling into dust. Electronic commerce - or "e-commerce" as it is familiarly called - sweeps away the very foundations of what was not so long ago our most solid, comfortable, and secure legal system. In its most advanced form e-commerce allows unidentified purchasers to pay obscure vendors, in "electronic cash", for products that are often goods, services, and licenses all rolled into one. A payee may be no more than a computer that can take up residence anywhere at the drop of a hat; national boundaries are of no consequence whatsoever. Taxation authorities are understandably dismayed. This book is a minutely detailed picture of current reality in the worldwide huddle of revenue regimes as they try to cope with the most daunting challenge they have ever had to face. It analyzes a number of fast-moving trends in the behaviour of national taxation authorities, web-based companies, certain low-tax (or no-tax) jurisdictions, and international organizations that have significant bearing on the future development of the taxation of e-commerce, including the following: how United States domestic and international tax rules are being interpreted in the effort to accommodate e-commerce; the powerful retailers' lobby against the moratorium on U.S. state and local sales tax on Internet transactions; how VAT rules in EU countries and other jurisdictions are being restructured to accommodate international e-commerce; new theories of income and payment characterization, and in particular the influential OECD ongoing study; the crucial discussion over what constitutes a permanent establishment for tax purposes; the emergence of tax havens especially adapted to e-commerce, with a detailed study of Anguilla; and the danger to e-business of international criminal investigatory powers created as weapons in the drug wars. Three special chapters - on e-commerce taxation in Canada, Ireland, and The Netherlands - add a comparative dimension to the analysis. Appendices include an IRS audit guide, the relevant OECD Draft Model Tax Treaty, and a selection of pertinent IRS forms. Notable for its clarification of the issues surrounding this new and complex subject - and for its detailed treatment of how these issues are being dealt with at national and international levels - this volume should be of enormous value to businesses in the electronic marketplace, whether they are established there or entering....

    The internet has become an integral part of modern life, in the classroom, the office, and the home. But as cyberspace grows to include more and more material, we are faced with tackling new challenges to freedom of speech and the right to privacy. In this important and timely book, Jacques N. Catudal examines the evolution of a legal right to privacy in the United States, and discusses the ways in which privacy legislation affects internet use. Among the topics Catudal discusses are whether there can be such things as a right to isolation and a right to secrecy, recent federal privacy laws and pending legislation specifically addressing computer use, the relation of pornography to privacy, experiencing the "visually remarkable", and the right to represent cultural treasures in a medium such as the World Wide Web. Highly readable and relevant, Privacy and Rights to the Visual will be of great interest to students and scholars of social and political philosophy and law, as well as all educated readers for whom the internet is a source of information and entertainment....

    Distributed networks such as the Internet have altered the fundamental way a record is created, captured, accessed and managed over time. Law and ethics provide the major sources of regulatory controls over participants in such networks.

This book analyses the interrelationship of recordkeeping, ethics and law in terms of existing regulatory models and their application to the Internet environment. It proposes an Internet model based on the notion of a legal and social relationship as a means of identifying the legal and ethical rights and obligations of recordkeeping participants in networked transactions. Medical, business and governmental relationships within communities of common interest based on trust illustrate the practical application of the model. As legal relationships have their basis in the law of obligations found in common and civil law systems, as well as archival science, the model has a broad-based application. The relationship model also provides a unique ethical and legal approach to property, access, privacy and evidence. Most importantly, the book provides an interdisciplinary approach to Internet regulation, which contributes to closer ties between those who research, teach and work in fields of ethics, law and archival science.
