How the Web Binds the World Together in Commerce
Anupam Chander
From China to Facebookistan, the Internet has transformed global commerce. A cyber-law expert argues that we must free Internet trade while simultaneously protecting consumers.
In this accessible book, cyber-law expert Anupam Chander provides the first thorough discussion of the law that relates to global Internet commerce. Addressing up-to-the-minute examples, such as Google’s struggles with China, the Pirate Bay’s skirmishes with Hollywood, and the outsourcing of services to India, the author insightfully analyzes the difficulties of regulating Internet trade. Chander then lays out a framework for future policies, showing how countries can dismantle barriers while still protecting consumer interests.
Anupam Chander is professor of law at the University of California, Davis, and director of the California International Law Center. He has taught at Yale, Chicago, Stanford, and Cornell, and has published in the nation’s leading law reviews.
