The internet has become the central medium of the global information society, with its nearly overwhelming abundance of information and opportunities. As innovations in modern communication technology, such as digitization and worldwide networking, lead to profound changes in all areas of life, the law, in its role as a framework for order and a tool for regulation, is confronted with entirely new challenges. The book presents the diverse and sometimes complex relationships of internet law in a clear yet comprehensive manner. In addition to addressing the specific legal questions that arise from internet use, the work provides insights and examples on important disputes and current developments. Key focuses include internet-specific legal issues related to contract law as well as trademark and copyright law.
