Overview
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.
