Cyberworld is a space where there is lot of scope for the law. Every move of a netizen who browses the web is governed by some law. He uses the web because some law helps him. He violates some law either intentionally or not in his process of hopping over sites and links. Civil, Criminal, and many more issues arise in the cyberworld too. So it has developed like any other specialised branch of law.
We love the simple google search. The use of google will be governed by their terms of service. It is their law. These terms of service has backing of laws enacted by States and regulations of UN. Likewise, every other site, portal, blog, providers, intermediaries, etc has their own laws relating to the use, content etc. These terms and conditions should be in conformity to some laws. Generally these laws of different states may be called Cyber Laws.
Nowadays we use the internet for sharing, posting, publishing, downloading, uploading etc. It is a medium. So all those things connected directly and indirectly with a media is present in the internet also. There are issues of privacy, copyright, trademark, patent, license, etc. These are governed by some laws.
Real Estate business has also hit the internet domains. It is a more profitable business than landed property. You are buying your own space in the web world. Is not there any law governing such dealings.
Different states and nations enacts their own laws regarding internet use in their territory. Can it be confined to territorial limits or else what is 'territory' with regard to internet. Has it been defined in any laws. Can a Court in one State can reverse the order of a Court in another State.
These are some of the important aspects of Cyber World Laws. I am hopeful that this site will see the changing times through its posts.
