Ask anyone in the recording industry or the news business about the consequences of ignoring the Laws of Disruption.
Downes (Ctr. for Internet & Society, Stanford Univ. Law Sch.; Unleashing the Killer App) is a gifted observer of the laws of digital disruption, a phenomenon in which the technological advances and new digital modes of commerce and communication outpace the ability of social, economic, and legal frameworks to keep pace. With a lens on businesses and legal aspects of technologies, Downes takes the reader chapter by chapter through important issues regarding personal information and human rights. We see how new crimes are possible with the ever-increasing data produced by users of digital content. The laws governing new commerce and new digital identity would seem inadequate to the current reality of digital environments. Downes asserts that the market will balance these unequal paradigms and that new laws should not be foisted upon misunderstood problems. The author includes a concise and easy-to-follow survey of patents, copyrights, and trademarks and the requirements that these legal codes place on the digital consumer. VERDICT For business collections especially.—Jim Hahn, Univ. of Illinois Lib., Urbana

Nine laws governing the changes sparked by digital technology
Business strategist Larry Downes, author of Unleashing the Killer App, is much more specific than most authors about how digital technologies are changing the world - and why technology will advance even more and have more impact. While he addresses numerous issues that have received lots of attention already, Downes also looks beyond the headlines and the obvious implications of digital technology to examine the root causes of change. He pays informed attention to the law and legal structures. He also draws parallels between the digital revolution and the social changes wrought by other technologies, showing how such change ripples through the economy. He presents his findings as nine "laws of disruption," which, somewhat confusingly, are the change agents of the "Law of Disruption." This forward-looking book is fun, lively and useful. getAbstract recommends it to executives who are trying to plan for a shifting future and to those intrigued by digital technologies or social structures.
