This revised 4th edition focusses on key areas of importance and relevance to practitioners, professionals and students of cyber and internet law, who wish to have an understanding of law with regards to the internet.
An entirely new chapter on harassment and online speech harms has been added since the 3rd edition and the revised 4th edition contains new and revised material examining the following topics:
- recent case law and legislation including the Harmful Digital Communications Act, the Search and Surveillance Act and amendments to the Electronic Transactions Act
- speech harms, cyber-bullying and harassment in social and other media
- e-discovery and evidence and the impact of the Search and Surveillance Act
- online defamation and content regulation
- use of Information technology in court
- recent developments in internet governance since 2011.
This revised 4th edition differs from the earlier impression as it includes:
- commentary on 'digital property' in light of the supreme court decision in the case of Dixon v R
- discussion of the Harmful Digital Communications Act (and the text has been written to reflect the structural changes between the Bill and the Act).
