The last decade has seen the field of computer law develop at a phenomenal rate in response to changing technology. Introduction to Computer Law explains the law clearly and makes it accessible to a wide audience. In this fourth edition, the law within the four key areas of intellectual property rights, contract, criminal law and data protection has been comprehensively updated, expanded and rewritten to reflect technological change, new decisions and new legislation. The emphasis is on describing and examining the law in the context of the practicalities of computer use. Introduction to Computer Law is suitable for undergraduate and professional students taking modules in the subject, and will also be invaluable to managers, computer professionals and legal practitioners.
