Well worth the money
It's an enormous book, but then, it covers an enormous amount of material. It has easily justified its cost: it's already saved me from contacting my attorney over certain issues that I just needed confirmation on, and I expect it'll shorten the conversations I do need to have.

One thing to note: even with its size, there are a few instances where you get the "on the one hand", but no "on the other". Of course, when you are digging down to that level, it's probably time to call your attorney in any case.
Keyword for this book: Companion
If you are a digital media focused contractor/consultant/freelancer, an entrepreneur across any industry, or above the director-level within your organization's IT/IS group, this book needs to be on your desk!

Since the mid-90s I have been working within the digital world. I currently head the digital practice for an advertising agency with regional, national, and global clients.

Since I picked this book up over a month ago, I have referenced it at least 3-5 times per week.

I have used it for:
- guidance (web and mobile deal making)
- reference (open source licensing and usage)
- direction (~40 sample agreements and a critical section around beta-testing agreements)
- education/learning (clearing content for applications and legal rules for mashups)
- curiosity (the entire video game deals chapter)
- enlightenment ("clickwrap" verse "browserwrap" agreements)

If you have ever:
- googled for example legal agreements
- reused someone elses website T&C, privacy statement, etc.
- thought about creating a site/app that utilizes user generated content, scraping, mash ups, syndication, social media distribution, etc.
- engaged with a company as a vendor or used technology vendors
- worked with global-focused businesses, trademarks, or digital properties
- looked into patenting an idea/invention
- started your own digital-based company
- (and I could go on and on and on)

... then get this book!! It is a companion. It is a reference. It is a critical resource to have in your office.

--------------------------

Random learning: It is legal to use a competitors trademarked brand names within the meta-tags of your site.

extremely clear and practical
As an IT/Digital French to English legal translator I found this book to be very clear, practical and complete.

The first half of the book consists of explanations of concepts (with lots of clear examples), while the second part is comprised of 20 varied relevant (and downloadable -- on their site) legal documents.

Ken Fagan
www.droit-ntic-traduit.com
A must have for any serious IT professional
The law is the law, and you are far better off knowing the laws as it applies to IT about copyright, trademarks, domain names, software patents, trade secrets, NDA's, NCA's, open source licenses, consulting agreements, SLA's, beta test agreements, EULA's, SaaS TOS, commercial distribution agreements, privacy, digital content agreements, videogame publishing agreements, foreign distribution agreements, and what happens if you try to sell your encryption software to a Denied Person.

Oh my aching head!

Fortunately, Gene Landy has summarized all the above and more into language understandable by people not attorney's, added 38 juicy contracts and forms and authored a book you need, now: "The IT / Digital Legal Companion: A Comprehensive Business Guide to Software, IT, Internet, Media and IP Law".

I've been reading up on Software as a Service, chapter 13, and in 24 pages Gene did an excellent job of summarizing what you need to know about SaaS from a legal point of view. This book, published in June, is very up to date, logically organized and includes the seasoned judgment of a practicing IT attorney.

If you are in the IT industry, you have no excuse for not owning this book.
What every software marketer needs...
This legal overview is absolutely what every sw marketer needs: if (s)he is new, it's a great initiation, and for a more war-worn guy like me (20+ years...) it's a great recapitulation of all you thought you knew, but had forgot, plus all the stuff you just never knew. One can use it as a reference, as a do-it-yourself, or as a backgrounder to prepare for working with a lawyer. The latter is the most probable scenario, but the book will save you tons of money for your lawyer's not having to spend time educating you and your team first.

Computer Seizure
For two years running, this product has proven to be worthless. It constantly runs in the background and renders the computer useless. When selected to "Silent Mode", the computer runs fine. However, the "Silent Mode" feature can only be selected OFF for a maximum of one day (how convenient). After a one-hour online session with a Norton "specialist", it was indicated that there was no way to permanently disable the background tasks, in order to keep my computer running as advertised. The "specialist" at Norton appropriately apologized for its pathetic program, but refused to offer any type of refund. I was told that I needed to go through Amazon.com to obtain any recompense. I feel like a fool for having been snagged twice after using NIS 2009 with similar results. I am sorrily disappointed with this product and will never purchase a Norton software in the future. Good luck to any other losers who choose to purchase this product.
Thank You WifeyGirl!
I went back and forth between renewing my Symantec Norton Security subscription directly and buying through Amazon. The price was an obvious consideration, but I am not very computer savvy and finally chickened out and decided to just go with the "automatic" renewal from Symantec. Well, for some reason it did NOT automatically renew and I got all sorts of "Expired" notices. So, I took the plunge and went with Amazon. PIECE OF CAKE!! Everything went smooth as silk (although like several other reviewers, I did need to enter my Amazon product key on Symantecs' Express Renewal page, so I WOULD recommend printing out a copy of same) Then, I immediately upgraded to Norton Internet Security 2011 for FREE. Lo and behold 366 days of service and an upgrade for $25.00 (less than 1/2 the price!). Thank You Amazon and Thank You WifeyGirl!
better and better
I bought this NIS 2010 to update my expired NIS 2009 and when I went to the Norton website I learned we could update this to the 2011 right now for free I was thrilled. A good deal got even better...Great Deal!!!
expired in two days
I purchased this to replace the 2009 version I already had installed. After installing the 2010 version appeared but the license expired in two days not the year promised. I contacted Norton and they would not help unless I had purchased order from Norton, not from Amazon. Norton Chat would not work at all, Norton Customer Service did nothing to help.
Erroroneous feedback
Read your dircetions carefully and you will not have to refer to customer service. Users are asked to record a new product code in the directions. I recorded and entered the new product key when instructed, and was rewarded with an error free download.

    Free.. for only a limited time..
    Beware of the hidden fees.

    There were 6 or so free cleanups and after that you need to pay $10 a month for your cleanup fixes. The service person who hooked up my PC wasn't too feasible either. He would call at late hours from India and when I would instruct him to call at the right hours, he would complain about his time schedules. So inappropriate. Have a better timeframe next time please. On the other hand, the 1 GB disc space did come in handy.
    *Updated review* Very poor customer service
    **11/11/09 Updated Review. I originally gave this 3 stars--downgrading to 1 star after a few months due to customer service**
    Customer service for this product is TERRIBLE! They send out emails when each updated service is due (every couple of months). They consistently have the wrong date (they put the previous month on all of the emails I received). They ask for permission to do the work, but if you don't respond, will log into your computer anyway. They give a time to update your computer, but don't always follow the time given. The last straw for me was when this morning when I didn't respond to the IM (a screen pops up on the computer), they called my home--at 5am (they usually do the work after 10pm Eastern time)!!!! In my home, 5am calls means it is an emergency. They called twice and when we answered each time there was no response. I realized when I went to the computer room that the IM window had popped up, so I knew who was calling. I answered them right away and told them to cancel my account. I do not appreciate being woken up because of a routine computer scan. They obviously did not pay attention to the time difference between the west coast of the US and India (where the workers are located). I DO NOT RECOMMEND this service. If you are unsure of how to make routine scans on your computer, find a friend to help you.


    My original review:

    I received this item through the Amazon Vine program. I picked it because my computer has been running a little slow and getting overloaded with "stuff." I already have anti-virus and anti-spyware software on my computer and regularly run checks on my computer. Since I don't keep myself completely up-to-date on every new attack on computers, I figured this service would do to help clean up my computer and give me a little added security and comfort that it is protected.

    I have had the "First preventive Maintenance Service" completed so far and it was a lackluster experience. It began with a contact email about 12 hours after I installed the software asking to set up the service on a date last month. I emailed them back to clarify that they meant July and not June, but never did get a response to my email. On the day of the "scheduled" (though not confirmed with the correct month) service, I had a message on my answering machine that I could barely understand, but I figured out it was PC Clean Machine--nothing else, though (the person had a very heavy Indian accent). I emailed the next morning for a confirmation and finally received another email from them asking if I was going to be around the computer that morning because they had tried to log in and were unable to do so. I didn't get that email until I returned home from work at 4pm and immediately responded back to them when I would be available. At 7pm I went to check on the computer and the "concierge" was logged into my computer and had opened a "chat" window to ask if it was okay to perform the service. I agreed and off he went.

    I watched for quite a while as he downloaded free software from the internet and ran them on my computer (anti-spyware, anti-malware, and cleanup tools). He also ran my anti-virus software, windows update, and checked if the hard drive needed to be defragmented. These are all things that I can do and have done in the past. My computer was in-use until after I went to bed at about 10:30pm that night. I should have asked for them to clean the computer later, but I figured that I might as well have them do it while they were already on my computer.

    The next morning, the computer was restored to my use. I immediately noticed a couple of things: (1) a new user had been created (Clean Machine), (2) Windows Live popped up on my computer (something I had disabled because I don't use it), and (3) Windows security was "yelling" at me because the User Account Control had been turned off (in Vista this is on and requires you to "allow" a program to run). I was a little irritated with the Windows Live popping up because I find it annoying and didn't want it there. I wish I would have been asked if I wanted it on my computer instead of them running an update and adding it.

    I also received an email with the service report and logs from the session (time stamped around 4am). I noticed there was no mention of the program they downloaded and then removed from my computer (ccleaner), which I watched them do. I thought I would get a detailed report of EVERYTHING, but I must be mistaken. The rest of the report showed what was found (some malware and one thing through my anti-virus program) and removed.

    After this first service, I don't think this is the service for me. The computer wasn't running any faster or in much better condition that I already had it in. I can do everything they did and not have to worry about needing to contact someone else to help me out with it. That isn't to say that I don't think this is a worth while idea. I'm thinking this would actually be better used for someone like my in-laws or my parents--people who know how to use a computer, but not all the little things to keep it safe.

    Some people may have concerns about giving someone else access to your computer, but I was not concerned. I could watch everything that he does and the company has strict rules against accessing anything that is not part of their service. I watched the service person working on my computer for more than an hour and all he did was run the necessary programs. I am pretty certain they run multiple service calls at one time because after some of the programs starting running, there was no movement on the computer for 30+ minutes.

    NOT recommended for people who already run anti-[virus,spyware,malware] software and know how to use the computer's administrator tools (like defrag). The tools they use are free and if you know where and what to download, you can do it all yourself.

    Recommended for people who don't have the time to run the anti-[virus,spyware,malware] tools or don't know what tools to run. Perfect for grandparents or less tech savvy people who know how to use a computer, but not all the up-to-date tools.

    I'm giving this 3 stars--one off for the lack of response and difficulty understanding them and one off because it is all stuff I can do myself.
    Might be acceptable to newbies, but even then I imagine they would want the human touch
    If you have any type of computing experience at all, you probably know to engage in good practices like spyware protection, anti-virus upkeep, firewall set-up, registry cleanings, defrags, etc., etc. If so, there's little value this service can provide to you.

    Beyond considerations of value, there are concerns: despite the CEO's point [in his comments on one review] that "our security record is perfect and unblemished," an unseen, unknown resource is accessing your computer and performing a series of remote tasks. Isn't that behavior akin to what we're trying to prevent in the first place? I might consider something like this for a user like my mother - someone who uses a computer only as a basic e-mail client and little else. Even then, I imagine the concept of remote control would be disconcerting for her.

    The CEO positions his service as an advancement vs. the "first generation [of support] in which people either came to your house (some even took pictures of your kids), you left your computer off at a store for a week giving the techs complete access, or you sat and watched for 3 hours while someone had complete access remotely." Well, there's a small, little company out of Minnesota called "Best Buy" who have put together something called "Geek Squad" (you might have heard of it) - hugely popular and successful and predicated on the human touch of this supposedly flawed, discredited first generation model. For millions of people, this is the winning model.

    Still, I give the CEO tons of credit for his use of the Amazon forums to get his side of the story out. He's monitoring the conversation and for the most part seems to be correcting some misconceptions and reaching out to others who've had some legitimate issues. That's exemplary leadership.
    They came through when I needed them
    I was having PC troubles and they got the work done while I was out of the house taking care of a sick relative. It took a couple of services over two nights but they got it done and it worked great. I had a problem with the printer printing out gibberish all the time. After the service, the printer worked better to print out claim forms. It was a problem with the printer driver.

    The service and repair was was done remotely while I was out or resting. It is great to have this type of support, when you are unsure of how to resolve or improve your computers performance.
    I like them
    I love their service. I believe 4 times a year they clean and update and correct anything wrong with my computer.

    Easy to set up, Easy to use, Easy to love!
    Not being a very techy person I was nervous about getting an item like this. This has not only made my work life so much easier but I have used it at home on certain occasions. It's so simple to follow the directions and setup. It really just becomes second nature to use. I LOVE that it keeps contacts and history. The volume could be a little louder but I would trade that for echo free any day. I felt very comfortable purchasing this device. I have had great luck with Kensington mice and notebook locks in the past. I would highly recommend this item.
    Works great for me
    I bought this speakerphone so the whole family could talk to my son overseas without headphones. Everyone in the room could listen and talk. It has worked great. No problems on either end of the conversation. Does just what I bought it for.
    Attn: This product is NOT Compatable with XP SP3
    It is a great product if your running Win2000 or XP SP2 or less...

    ...wasted HOURS of my time before calling Tech Support to find this out!
    Skype speakerphone not a great speakerphone
    The Kensington Vo300 USB speakerphone was a huge disappointment. The sound quality of the speakerphone was terrible, even when one person speaks directly into the mic. I had better quality (still not good) from a $10 unit from US Robotics.
    Microphone volume too low and can't be set
    Short answer: The microphone volume on this is set too low relative to the speaker volume, and cannot be adjusted independently--either through the device or at the O/S level.

    I spoke with tech support, and they said this was to keep the echo-cancellation software from having issues.

    So as a speakerphone, this device is useless.

    I'd have given it one star, but the rest of the device is actually very well designed, easy to setup, and so on.

    Not bad for a free book.
    Good for the beginner, an easy read for someone wanting to know more about securing home networks. I read it in about 2 hrs.

    I thought that it was a software, but was surprised to get a book. Who really has a time to go through the book.
    great reference
    I got this book for free but it turned out that it had a few things in there that I never knew. Being an IT pro this book was a good refresher!
