The Emerging Law of Electronic Commerce
نویسنده
چکیده
In this chapter, I define the scope of electronic commerce law and discuss how law can evolve in response to rapid change in social and business practices. I summarize how commercial law has adapted to electronic sales of goods using EDI and Internet distribution systems, discuss the strengths and weaknesses from a legal perspective of a new technology-based model for electronic commerce – digital signatures and public key infrastructure – and compare that model with others for managing the legal risks of electronic sales of foods. I also summarize how changes in payment systems; and how financial markets have moved to electronic systems for transferring investment securities.
