A new chapter on breach of confidence and privacy considers the rapid development of the body of caselaw concerning privacy of individuals. An expanded chapter on the internet considers the impact of this mass medium and the specific problems it poses because of its worldwide accessibility and frequently anonymous nature."--BOOK JACKET.
