Electronic Commerce, Third Edition, takes a practical,
practice-oriented approach to the study of e-commerce. Author Ronald Mann,
well-known commercial law scholar who recently served as Reporter for
revisions to UCC Articles 3, 4, and 4A, de-mystifies the technology
surrounding e-commerce with clear language and a problem-based pedagogy. The
text is structured around the hypothetical representation of a technology
company, giving students a preview of how principles and strategies work in
the real world.
Among the features that make this text so accessible and illuminating:
-
lucid and concise reading assignments, that use nontechnical language
whenever possible
-
explanations about need-to-know technology that are clear and easily
understood
-
exercises that illustrate current issues in e-commerce practice
-
coverage of important commercial law topics, such as click-through
contracts, cybersquatting, web site development, software licensing, and
electronic payments
-
dozens of discrete assignments that allow for concentration on specific
areas of interest
-
extensive Teacher’s Manual that provides answers to assignments
in the book and a companion web site (www.mann-ecommerce.com) that
complements and enriches printed materials
The Third Edition has been thoroughly updated and reorganized to focus on
current issues. New materials include:
-
the latest on spyware and a new assignment on potential liability for
internet-based intermediaries (including edited versions of the Perfect 10
cases)
-
in-depth analysis of important landmark cases such as the Supreme Court
opinion in Grokster and the Ninth Circuit en banc opinion in Yahoo! v. UEJF
-
numerous new opinions in a variety of areas, including cybergriping (
Lamparello v. Falwell), CAN-SPAM (Omega World Travel v.
Mummagraphics), CDA (FHC v. Roommates.com), and clickwrap
(Wachter)
-
updated problem sets that reflect advances in technology and practice
