Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Since the pioneering publication of the first edition, Information Technology Law has been established as the most readable and broad work of its kind, covering all key topics in this dynamic and modern area. Essential reading for students of IT law, it should also be read by business and management students, and by IT and legal professionals.
MoreLong description:
Are you a user of Facebook or Ebay?
Do you download your music or shop online?
Do you have an avatar on Second Life?
Do you drive or use cash machines, and how did you book your last holiday?
Aspects of information technology permeat every aspect of our lives. From websites such as Ebay and Facebook, to online music and shopping stores, to CCTV cameras, it is rare that a person is not touched by some form of IT every day. But how often do we stop and think about the legal dimension of these daily brushes with IT?
Since the pioneering first publication of Internet Technology Law in 1993, both the book and the subject have become widely recognised and respected both academically and professionally. Focussing primarily on developments within the UK and EU, along with some comparative international aspects, this book provides a broad-ranging introduction and analysis of the frequently uneasy relationship between the law and IT.
In this fifth edition:
- the author provides an in-depth examination and update on computer related crime, including the national and international legal response
- further information on the internet, e-commerce, and the regulation of e-commerce is provided
- discussion of data protection and the clash with national security - 'the surveillance society' - is included
This book is essential reading for undergraduates and postgraduates on law courses covering the law relating to IT, including IT law, criminal law, intellectual property, and contract law. It will also be highly valuable to business and management students, practitioners, and professionals working in the area.
Online Resource Centre
This book is accompanied by and Online Resource Centre offering updates to the law twice yearly, as well as useful web links.
I have no hesitation in recommending this book to anyone interested in or studying this evolving, topical and fascinating area of law. It is impressively written in a logical and coherent way meaning that complex legal issues are broken down into a series of small steps. ... a vital text for students and practitioners alike.
