This edition of Cyberlaw@SA was written by 15 practicing experts from the legal, academic and accounting professions. The writing is academic but focuses on the practical and commercial realities of the Internet and e-commerce, making it useful and accessible to the student, lecturer, legal professional and e-commerce manager. Topics that are covered include online copyright, trademarks, domain names, patents, the Electronic communications and transactions act, encryption, authentication, digital signatures, consumer protection, pornography, hate speech, defamation, ISP liability, telecommunications law, VAT, income tax, criminal law and online dispute resolution. All fourteen chapters include references to international and local statutes, case law and articles. Internet addresses in the text provide readers with easy access to detailed and relevant information on the Internet. Internet law is here to stay - those who ignore it will soon find themselves outdated and excluded from South African law and business!
