Dear Michael,
 
I have taught a course on Computers and the Law and have used a book
entitled "Cyberspace and the Law" by Edward A. Cavazos and Gavino
Morin, published by MIT Press, 1995 with 1994 copyright.  It is a good
background book, not too long and not too expensive.  If my memory
serves me right, it was about $20.
 
I hope this helps.
