Summary

A new model for cyberspace laws focussing on human actions rather than the technology used. Arguing that, in cyberspace, law works primarily through voluntary obedience rather than fear of enforcement, Professor Reed re-opens the debate as to the value of laws for regulating cyberspace and how best to regulate behaviour.

Making Laws for Cyberspace Summary

Making Laws for Cyberspace by Chris Reed (Queen Mary, University of London)

Providing a scholarly analysis of how to govern and make the right kinds of laws for cyberspace, in this work, Professor Reed investigates the vast majority of cyberspace users who wish to act lawfully and asks whether the current state of law in cyberspace makes it possible for them to do so. If not, why not, and what is the cure? In this book, Professor Reed puts forward a new model for cyberspace laws which focuses on human actions rather than the technology used. Arguing that, in cyberspace, law works primarily through voluntary obedience rather than fear of enforcement, Professor Reed explains his thoughtful and controversial new viewpoint as to how cyberspace laws should be devised and re-opens the debate as to the value of law for regulating cyberspace and how best to influence the behaviour of cyberspace actors. The only text to comprehensively analyse European cyberspace lawmaking, this book provides a new perspective to the debate about the proper shape and scope of internet laws.

Making Laws for Cyberspace Reviews

A clearly structured and well-thought out analysis of effective law-making for cyberspace, which will form the debate on the subject for years to comea must read for anyone interested in how cyberspace should be regulated. * Julia Hornle, International Journal of Law and Technology *
Readers can expect to be confronted with Reed's breadth of knowledge and will no doubt appreciate the creative way in which he weaves legal jurisprudence into existing cyberlaw scholarship. Each chapter is written in a manner which will capture readers' interest. His summary of the challenges and treatment of substantive laws should make good reading for students and academics interested in gaining fresh insights into the nature of law making activity in cyberspace. * Joseph Savirimuthu, Journal of Intellectual Property Law & Practice *
