Review: Having worked in this area for a while it was a pleasure to finally read a book that can fill in so many of the holes. This guide covers all the legal area of the internet. The examples are especially helpful -- and interesting. The complicate legal areas are explained in reasonable language. There are very good sections on trademark and domain names, and on the legal problem with setting up your own web site.

Review: I want to thank Dennis Powers for his insightful, layman's approach in describing the nuts and bolts, ins and outs, and overall legalities of the cyber world, the internet, and web site need-to-know information in his book THE INTERNET LEGAL GUIDE. Legal questions, various agreement examples, and overall sope of doing business online are laid out in an easy to read, example laden approach.

Summary: Good content, a little dry, no CD-ROM included
Review: I wanted to write up a quick review for you. The book has some excellent content, and covers all the important areas of running your own business and understanding all the legal issues involved. The sample contracts and agreements are detailed and provide an in-depth explanation for each section. For myself, it is being used to set up web site and be able to sell my software over the Internet. It isn't specifically geared towards people like myself, but it is one of the few books out there that deals with the very important area of Internet legal issues.

My only negative comments are the lack of exciting writing, yes I know this is a legal book, and the lack of an enclosed CD-ROM. It would have been easy to enclose one with electronic versions of all the sample forms, or at least include one at the authors online site. Since there are so many forms included, this is the least I would expect. As for the writing style, it can be a little dry at times, and for me, covered international issues more than necessary. Otherwise a worthwhile addition to your shelf, to be read through quickly and then used as a reference.
