American publisher John Wiley & Sons Inc has published “The Nonprofits’ Guide to
Internet Communications Law” by Bruce H Hopkins.
The book is the latest addition
to the legal section of the UK Fundraising Bookshop. The book addresses the issues
faced by American non-profits. Sadly, there is no similar title for UK charities.

Hopkins acknowledges that “there is almost no specific, existing law on which to
base a practice.” He therefore extrapolates from existing law and applies it to 
the Internet. In particular he examines the administration of charitable giving 
programmes, fundraising, lobbying, political campaign activities, and related and
unrelated business activities.

“The Nonprofits’ Guide to Internet Communications Law” is available from Amazon.
co.uk for £33.50.
