Internet and Technology Law: A U.S. Perspective is Konnie G. Kustron’s accessible guide to the legal rules shaping the digital world — written from an American viewpoint for students, professionals, and business readers alike.

The book walks through the major questions of online law: how privacy is protected under federal statutes like COPPA and HIPAA and state laws like California’s CCPA; what companies owe the public when data is breached; how cybersecurity standards such as the NIST framework are used in court; and how intellectual property — patents, trademarks, and copyright under the DMCA — works on the internet.

It also covers the law of everyday digital life: e-commerce and electronic contracts, FTC rules for online advertising, Section 230 immunity for social media platforms, free speech limits online, and the jurisdictional puzzles of a borderless web — closing with a look at emerging challenges in AI and blockchain.

Clear, well-organized, and free of unnecessary jargon, this is a practical introduction for anyone who needs to understand how U.S. law governs the internet — whether in the classroom, the boardroom, or the compliance office.
