Sample Book Review
Millions of companies, entrepreneurs, and business people employ the internet as a tool for advancing their professional goals.
Yet, for many who operate websites, blog, podcast, and participate in social media, the internet is still the wild, wild web. These
cyber citizens do not always fully understand the rights and responsibilities involved in claiming a parcel of internet
territory.
The Cyber Citizen's Guide Through the Legal Jungle, a new release in the Guide Through the Legal Jungle book
series, is the legal primer they need. In this book, author Joy R. Butler, answers in easy-to-understand terms the questions
frequently posed by those who use the internet for business purposes. Butler is a Harvard-educated attorney who regularly
advises companies and individuals on internet and new media projects.
Butler addresses legal issues that arise during each step of establishing and maintaining your online presence. She
explains how cyber citizens can protect their online content, select protectable domain names, and comply with privacy obligations
to online visitors. Copyright, trademark, defamation, patent and privacy are among the laws discussed.
Each chapter is divided into short segments. The book begins with a checklist that poses short questions and provides brief answers about specific internet
activities. The checklist then refers the reader to subsequent chapters and sections of the book for greater explanation. The
appendix includes fully annotated examples of completed copyright and trademark registration applications.
Readers can locate answers to their immediate questions by using the opening checklist, detailed table of contents and full
index. Alternatively, those cyber citizens who want a full grounding in the laws of the internet can read the book from cover to
cover.
Every active internet participant eventually faces questions concerning the permissible use of other people’s material.
The Cyber Citizen’s Guide Through the Legal Jungle offers a helpful overview of permissions and rights clearances.
However, cyber citizens in need of in-depth, step-by-step instructions for obtaining permission for incorporating third party
materials into their online works will also want a copy of Butler’s previous book in the series.
Butler’s previous book is The Permission Seeker’s Guide Through the Legal Jungle: Clearing Copyrights,
Trademarks, and Other Rights for Entertainment and Media Productions. It provides detailed guidance for obtaining
permission to use quotes, music, artwork, names, trademarks, film clips, and other protected materials.
The Cyber Citizen’s Guide Through the Legal Jungle includes three parts, an appendix, and a full index.
The author, Joy R. Butler, is an attorney who regularly assists clients with their online activities. She is an active participant in discussions about
entertainment and media. Ms. Butler is also the author of The Permission Seeker’s Guide Through the Legal Jungle. Ms. Butler is a graduate of Harvard
College and Harvard Law School.
