Information Technology Law

Information technology affects all aspects of modern life. From the information shared on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to online shopping and mobile devices, it is rare that a person is not touched by some form of IT every day.\nInformation Technology Law examines the legal dimensions of these everyday interactions with technology and the impact on privacy and data protection, as well as their relationship to other areas of substantive law, including intellectual property and criminal proceedings. Focusing primarily on developments within the UK and EU, this book provides a broad-ranging introduction and analysis of the increasingly complex relationship between the law and IT.\nInformation Technology Law is essential reading for students of IT law and also appropriate for business and management students, as well as IT and legal professionals.\nOnline resources\nThe accompanying online resources include a catalogue of web links to key readings and updates to the law since publication.
