Internet & domain names

As an entrepreneur working with an increasingly influential World Wide Web, you cannot afford to lag behind with respect to advertising your products on the Internet. Attention should also be devoted to, legal issues connected with e-Business, such as use of personal data.

All these developments mean that current legislation is becoming a more complex web as well, which is sometimes difficult to unravel. For instance, are you allowed to use adwords referring to a business rival?
