Cyber law

Cyber law (also referred to as cyberlaw) is a term used to describe the legal issues related to use of communications technology, particularly "cyberspace", i.e. the Internet.

In essence, cyber law is an attempt to integrate the challenges presented by human activity on the Internet with legacy system of laws.
