I picked up Doug Isenberg’s excellent guide to internet law, The Gigalaw Guide to Internet Law, the other week.
While it is written from an American perspective it goes a long way to explain many of the basic concepts that are as relevant in Ireland as they are in any other country.
The main topics covered are:
- Copyright Law
- Domain Names and Trademarks
- Patent Law
- Privacy
- Free Speech
- Contract Law
- Employment Law
If you treat it as source of information then it can help you get to grips with the concepts, though it obviously won’t replace your solicitor.
The book is written in nice easy to understand language and cites plenty of tangible examples, so getting to grips with some of the more obtuse topics is not as hard as it could have been.
All in all I’d recommend it to anyone doing business online
