Introduction to EU Internet Law

Introduction to EU Internet Law provides a thorough introduction to the parts of European Union law that are particularly relevant to the Internet, including electronic commerce. A number of legal topics are introduced, analysed, discussed, and applied to the Internet and electronic commerce.

The book is suitable as a general introduction and guides the reader through various areas of law in a way that makes the content accessible for readers who do not have a legal background. In addition to being used for teaching purposes, this book may also serve as a valuable tool for lawyers and legal academics who wish to familiarize themselves with Internet law or update their knowledge.
