To make sure you always are looking at the most current version, I have excluded the text
of most statutes and similar rulesets from the book and linked to the statutes in the table of
contents. However, Internet law is principally a statute-driven course, and theres no
substitute for actually reading the statutes!
Editing Notes:
? Textual omissions are noted with ellipses
? Omitted footnotes are not indicated, but all footnote numbers are original
? In-text citations are omitted without indication (including parenthetical
explanations and some parallel citations)
? Although I have tried to preserve the original formatting (such as italics, bold and
blockquotes), some formatting may have changed or been lost.
? I included the authoring judges name only when I think that may be interesting.
? Ive made minor edits to my blog posts without indicating those changes.
To improve readability, I have aggressively stripped out case citations and parenthetical
explanations (more so than in most casebooks). If you are interested in the courts actual
words or intend to quote or cite one of these opinions, I STRONGLY recommend that you
pull the actual opinion and read the unedited version.
There are a few review questions sprinkled throughout the book. Answers are at the end of
the book, but no fair peeking until youve tried your best!
People disagree whether the I in Internet should be capitalized. See, e.g., Susan C.
Herring, Should You Be Capitalizing the Word ‘Internet’?, WIRED, Oct. 19, 2015,
https://www.wired.com/2015/10/should-you-be-capitalizing-the-word-internet/. Like most
old-timers, I always capitalize Internet!
