"The author presents a clear view of the current laws governing cyberspace. He does an excellent job of presenting the basics of lawmaking authority and theory. He develops his arguments so that even if a reader disagrees, she cannot quarrel with the logic used to reach the conclusions. Reed has written a thought-provoking book that advances the discussion of cyberspace law. This book would be a good addition to any academic law library, particularly those that collect in legal theory or comparative law." --Aperna M. Sherman, Law Library Journal

"This book deals with issues relating to how to govern and make the right kinds of laws (easily understood, having clearly-specified aims, effective, enforceable, etc.) when using this vast global telecommunications system commonly called the Internet." --Deekay Daulat, BIZ INDIA Online News
