NEW BOOK EXPLAINS LEGAL RIGHTS IN ONLINE WORLD

Berkeley, CA--With cyberspace getting busier and more crowded every day, it
was only a matter of time before legal issues started to develop. Lance
Rose, the premier expert in online legal affairs, explains and defines
rights as they apply in a digital environment in his new book NetLaw: Your
Rights in the Online World, released by Osborne/McGraw-Hill.

Just as the online world is rapidly evolving, so are online legal rights.
Issues such as privacy, copyright, and freedom of speech do not
necessarily work the same in cyberspace and the rights people are
accustomed to in print or broadcast may not apply. NetLaw: Your Rights in
the Online World explains both the rights and risks involved once users
log-on to any online service.

NetLaw: Your Rights in the Online World shows readers which online actions
are protected or prohibited under the law. Using fascinating case studies,
Rose covers the hottest and most widely debated topics affecting system
users and operators, including commercial relationships, ownership of
information, searches and seizures, and sexually explicit materials.

NetLaw: Your Rights in the Online World answers questions such as:

* Is copyright dead on the Internet?
* What legal risks are faced by corporations online?
* How does the First Amendment protect online systems, service
  providers, and users?
* How do you make an online contract?
* How is obscenity defined and which laws apply?

Written in easy-to-follow, jargon-free discussions, NetLaw: Your Rights in
the Online World is a one-of-a-kind legal guide that covers the rights and
risks that every user should be aware of to confidently venture online. It
is a must-have resource for any cyberspace traveler.

NetLaw: Your Rights in the Online World is softcover, 400 pages, and has
examples and illustrations throughout. Suggested retail price: $19.95.
