Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1. FAQ about the book, course, resources

1.1 Where can I buy the book?

Nowhere yet! I am still writing it.

Once available, the book can be purchased on Amazon, available in either paperback, hardcover, or ebook format.

1.1.1 When will the book be available?

My hope is that the paperback will be available by mid December 2024. Sometimes I think that is possible. Sometimes not.

1.2 Do you have an online course at Udemy to parallel the book?

Yes I do! For now it is a mini course, under 2 hours so I could offer it for free. You can enroll and pay nothing.

See my main Udemy page here on this website, check for coupon codes there and elsewhere, and get look for the best deal before you buy.

My [tentative] plan is to build the course out to parallel the book, one video for each chapter, then it will be longer and cannot be free (since it will exceed 2 hours).

1.3 Do you have a cyberlaw book resources page?Resources and Links for the book Cyberlaw: Law for Digital Spaces and Information Systems, by John Bandler

Yes I do!

I am fleshing it out as we speak, with helpful free resources (whether you have the book or online course or not).

See my cyberlaw book resources page.

1.4 Do you have a current or sample cyberlaw related course reading list/syllabus for a college or law school that I could review?

Yes I do, you can see these two:

1.5 I have the printed version of the book, but I cannot click on those links in the [paper] book. Is there a quick way to access those links (and the chapter questions)?

My thought is to create web pages for each chapter, with clickable links and references. You can start at the cyberlaw book resources page.

1.6 I hear this book is about 475 pages! That's really thick, isn't that too much?

Not really, and it is all solid content at a very reasonable price, well-organized, and a breezy understandable read. Don't be intimidated by a page count, you can handle this.

The book has a relatively small page size (6"x9"), with comfortable font, paragraph spacing, margins, many diagrams, and other formatting that leaves room for notes and allows for quick reading.  References and vignettes are in the footnotes and you can skip those if you like.

Admittedly, it is longer than I originally planned, covering many areas of traditional and introductory law. Rather than include that material in a separate book and requiring a reader to purchase two books, all of that content is here in this single book for you.

1.6 This book has over 40 chapters? Isn't that too many?

Not really, because each chapter covers a discrete topic, and no chapter is too long. You can pick the chapters you want to read (or use for your course), or just read through them all. You may be surprised how quickly you can read through the chapters. Also, I numbered the "back matter" (material at the end of the book) because I like it that way (most publishers don't do that).

While many course books are 14 chapters -- one chapter per week of a semester -- many of those chapters can be long and dense, and the book might not be organized with the degree of emphasis an author might prefer.
