Computer Crime Law Casebook:
I am happy to announce the publication of my new casebook, Computer Crime Law, which has just been released by Thomson-West. As some readers know, I have been working on this casebook for several years; it's the first book devoted entirely to computer crime law, and my hope is that it will play an important role in the development of the field.

  I'll probably blog a bit about the book and its approach in the future, but for now I just wanted to let folks know that the book is (finally) out.

Cool! It's on my buy list.

Congratulations! But there is a typo in the Amazon blurb - in the third to last full line, "angaging" instead of "engaging."

Is it best to purchase a law book from the publisher or from Amazon - in this case, should I purchase from Amazon or from Thomson-West?

I have found that Amazon does a poor job generally handling law books. They frequently have extremely long shipping delays; they vend out-of-date editions; and they do not carry at all many kinds of legal texts.

On the other hand, ordering from publishers I have found to be
quite annoying. They often have horrendous websites, which are time-consuming, annoying, and insecure to use. Certainly it's much more convenient and safer to order from Amazon than from Thompson directly.

Congratulations, hopefully a professor at my school picks up on it and starts a class around it. If not I'll just have to buy it on my own and do my own reading.

Congrats, Orin. You should have linked to the T-W listing of the book, which includes the Table of Contents for those interested in perusing it.

You should make the table of contents viewable on amazon. Does the book mention file sharing and the RIAA, MPAA?
