Cyber Law
Cyber law
encompasses a wide variety of political and legal issues related to the
Internet
and other communications technology, including
intellectual property
,
privacy
,
freedom of expression
, and
jurisdiction
. The intersection of technology and law is controversial. Some think the Internet should not (or can not) be regulated. Technologies like
anonymity
and
cryptography
make traditional kinds of regulation extremely difficult. And the fundamental
end to end
nature of the Internet means that even if one mode of communication is shut down, another method can be used. In the words of
John Gilmore
, "the Internet treats censorship as damage and routes around it."
Controversial laws
Communications Decency Act
- the controversial pornography regulation law, later partly struck down as unconstitutional. § 230 of the CDA is still used by
internet service providers
to shield them from liabilities of activities of users.
Digital Millennium Copyright Act
- the epidemic law that outlaws not only
software piracy
but also the activities that help it.
Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act
technically a part of the DMCA but distinct from it.
Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act
Can Spam Act of 2003
Proposed EU Directive on the patentability of computer-implemented inventions
Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000
(U.K.)
PATRIOT Act
