Beschreibung

Massive data banks threaten individual and society's rights, while computer viruses and the problems of software piracy increasingly cause legal dilemmas. In this topical book, Ian Lloyd examines the efficacy of present and proposed legal responses and consider the social, technical and cultural factors influencing computer-related behaviour. How can we deal with the legal implications of the IT revolution?
