US Internet Law/Introduction

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

This book deals with the subject of the law as it relates to the Internet in general and to various topics in particular. Most of the material will be oriented toward United States law as that is where most of the legal issues become raised, but where material is from other countries it will be identified.

Note that the protections granted by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States are either unavailable or much weaker in other countries.
