Going Digital 2000 is not just for lawyers. It's essential reading for anyone who has ever asked questions like: "Should I be concerned about my use of copyright material on the internet? Can I patent my internet software? How do I protect my privacy in an online environment? What is the legal framework for making online payments and entering into online contracts? What laws govern how I can protect my organisation's trademark on the internet?" Increasingly, companies and individuals need to be concerned about when they may be liable for infringing others people's copyright, patents, trademarks, privacy or reputation on the internet. Going Digital 2000 outlines practical steps for dealing with these and other real-world questions and issues. It is an up to the minute and highly practical guide to the legal and regulatory questions raised by the internet and e-commerce.
