If you're tempted to do something
that's illegal in cyberspace, chances are it's also bad Netiquette.
Some laws are obscure or complicated
enough that it's hard to know how to follow them. And in some cases, we're still establishing how the law applies to cyberspace.
Again, this is a book on manners,
not a legal manual. But Netiquette mandates that you do your best to act within the laws of society and cyberspace.
