“Cyberlaw in Hong Kong is a text which very capably provides analysis of the legislative and common law solutions to a range of issues which Hong Kong has faced both in relation to the use of computers generally as well as the use and misuse of the internet specifically.” — The Professor
Paul von Nessen, Department of Business Law and Taxation, Monash University, European Intellectual Property Review October 2008
The second edition of Cyberlaw in Hong Kong brings up to date the areas of law covered in the highly successful first edition. It also includes additional chapters to cover nuisances such as SPAM, the privacy implications of COOKIES, the liability of ISPs through Norwich Pharmacal Orders and the growing tendency to seek to resolve domain name disputes through alternative
dispute resolution.
This book is essential reading not only for lawyers but for anyone connected with web site creation and the provision of goods and services via the internet.
Some of the questions addressed include:
l Website Creators: Is deeplinking a form of copyright infringement? Why?
l Journalists: In what circumstances would publication of a photograph on the net amount to a breach of the data protection principles under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance?
l Online Retailers: What care must be taken when designing a website to conduct e-commerce?
l International Traders: What law applies to disputes arising from my contract?
l ‘Flame’ Users: If I hyperlink to a defamatory site, could I also be liable for defamation?
