Nevertheless, as with previous editions of ^iComputer Law,^r the style remains accessible and highly readable, with excellent analysis. It is less UK-centric than many texts on the subject and would be a good choice for those studying on undergraduate or postgraduate courses in IT law and should be of equal appeal to those in practice.
