Deserves a Good Reputation - By: Dr. A. A. Adams, 27 May 2008
Solove has produced a balanced, nuanced & thought-provoking analysis of the positive & negative impacts of networked computers & communications on the concept of reputation. Tied in closely with concepts of privacy, identity & freedom of speech, reputation has so far been an under-analysed concept in this sphere. Solove presents a strong argument that legal regulation needs to adapt old-fashioned thinking on issues of privacy, fault & liability around information which damages reputation. Well worth the time spent reading it, & at just over 200 pages far more concise than many tomes in the area.
