Hi AllCan someone suggest a GOOD Cyber Law book? Thanks in advance.
You were probably looking for something relating to cyber security law, but, what the hey, you didn't specify.
Larry Lessig (lessig.org), if you haven't heard of him, is pretty much a visionary when it comes to Internet, digital media, and intellectual property and culture (as well as other issues like privacy rights and so forth). He's a Stanford law professor, founder of Creative Commons, the Stanford Cyberlaw Clinic (I believe he founded it, but I could be wrong), and so forth.
He's written two books so far (working on a third, I believe). His first is _Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace_, which is more or less a basic look at the interplay of law and the Internet, and how we interpret laws written hundreds of years ago to match new situations. His second, _The Future of Ideas_, is more of a personal, opinionated (but, in my opinion, very much on-target) look at where all this is going.
Try either one. Especially the second, as it's somewhat less dry.
