It's been 10 years since publication of the first edition of this text, and there's no question that frequent revisions are needed in such a changing, multifaceted field that involves business, law, philosophy, and technology. Spinello (ethics, social issues in management, and corporate strategy, Boston College) steps up to the challenge with this fourth edition, offering college-level students and professionals a clear presentation of ethical and legal issues and social problems that arise with the use of the internet. Drawing from the works of legal scholars and philosophers, Spinello investigates such cyberspace muddy waters as regulation and government of the internet as a whole, free speech (including libel and pornography cases), as well as intellectual property and copyright laws and their relevant case studies. The book is well-organized and contains helpful features, including: case studies followed by ethical discussion questions, chapter notes, glossary, subject index, bibliography and full list of cases cited.
