Excellent, highly accessible guide
Written in non-lawyer-ese, this guide is very accessible and practical - giving specific, real-world examples of the reasons that it makes its recommendations.
Intenet Basics Made Basically Understandable
After using a computer and the Internet for both personal and business purposes for nearly two decades, I found the information presented in this book to be not only highly informative -- but eyeopening.There is so much that we take for granted in our daily computer activities that it is was surprising how much the average person isn't aware of and how much more alert we should be.This is a reference that should prove useful to a majority of business people -- regardless of experience.The format is very readable and understandable -- there isn't an abuse of "teckie" language or "legalese ."

A great tech-law guide for businessmen and lawyers alike
Many a lawyer write exhaustive (and exhausting!) treatises about their area of legal expertise. Mark Grossman gives business people and lawyers alike straightforward, succinct and down-to-earth advice in a fast moving area of the law. Great to compare notes with a fellow practitioner. ...

Editorial Review

Alas, this book is currently available only as a Special Order item and may take several weeks to obtain (or may even be out of print by time you read this review). But if you want comprehensive and authoritative analyses of the status of U.S. laws and precedents as of late-1995 and their relationship to the Internet, you would be well advised to place an order for this book anyway. ...

Case Background
The major categories of mass communication are presented with key cases under each. Prior to getting into the various cases, background on the legal system is explained. The readers are told about public communication and the law in general. There is an overview of the first amendment to the U.S. constitution. Logically flowing out of that is discussion of issues directly related such as libel and privacy. Graphically the design is such that the content is easy to digest. The book goes on to provide sections on intellectual property, corporate speech, advertising, and journalism. Matters of accessibility are included as well. This book is an excellent overview to mass media law. ... Read more
