Comments.Text: This question is interesting but a little bit too broad. Maybe you can formulate it so that more specific answers can be given. For example, in the answer below, you provide a link to a book, but when I first read this question I thought that you were looking for some document written by some government that enumerates the laws regarding this issue.
