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 there’s 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 judge’s name only when I think that may be interesting.

? I’ve 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 court’s 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 you’ve tried your best!

People disagree whether the “I” in Internet should be capitalized. See, e.g., Susan C.

old-timers, I always capitalize “Internet”!
