Chokepoints

"By putting the spotlight on the concerted and undisclosed actions of intermediaries in disabling those websites that illicitly trade in counterfeit goods, Natasha Tusikov raises important questions about the global governance of online transactions as well as much larger questions about the relationship between public and private law enforcement in our surveillance societies. Chokepoints is a terrific book."—Roger Brownsword, King's College London

"This is an eye-opening book that everyone concerned about the future of the internet, the power of corporations to regulate, due process of law, accountability, and circumvention of democratic processes should read. Chokepoints is a timely intervention into contemporary concerns over surveillance, overbearing corporate power, and increasing concerns that our political process is for sale to the highest bidder."—Susan K. Sell, author of Private Power, Public Law: The Globalization of Intellectual Property Rights
