The internet has brought the world closer together; freed-up information and technology ; and empowered people. But many now also see it as Will Manley described in 1998 as "one oft he biggest wellsprings of misinformation ever developed" (emphasis added).

The second edition of internet.law.nz discusses the internet as a major source of information and a business and technological resource which stretches across international boundaries and through many different legal jurisdiction. Judge David Harvey explores the issues of copyright and criminal law impinging on the internet and how different legal and national jurisdictions now try to monitor and govern it.

Relevant to students, researchers and legal practitioners, the second edition of internet.law.nz is a formidable study of this fast-moving area of law.
