There is a popular misconception that the Internet is a relatively recent concept and therefore is mostly free of laws. This is not the case. There are in fact copious volumes of laws and regulations that are either Internet-related or specific.;This is not a legal text, but a handbook written from a legal perspective. It provides preliminary legal advice on the issues involved when using the Internet for business purposes. It seeks to deal with every aspect of business online, including: getting a domain name; trademark and copyright; strategic analysis; business operations; fund-raising; company law; data protection; contract law and e-commerce; online taxation; and tax incentives for Internet businesses.
