    Learning Objectives

    • Define cyber law
    • Define cyber law and intellectual property

    Introduction to Cyber Laws

    • Ethics is a code of responsible behaviour, while law is an outcome of ethics
    • Cyber law is defined as legislation that supports acceptable behaviour in technology use, including computer hardware, software, the Internet and networks
    • Cyber law guarantees user protection against harm

    Need for Cyber Laws

    • Cyber laws apply to almost all aspects of transactions and behaviour online
    • Cyber laws ensure legally enforceable digital contracts
    • Cybercrimes, such as malware attacks, computer fraud, hacking, unauthorized access, email hijacking, denial of service and pornography, are frequent and can harm sensitive data, economies and reputations
    • Accountability is significant as almost all transactions are electronic
    • Significant proof can be found in electronic systems like mobile phones, in various legal cases, such as separation, murder, tax avoidance, etc.
    • Cyber law is essential for digital forensics
    • Legal considerations have a broader scope, applying to a wider context
    • Ethical considerations are more individual-specific
    • Legal judgments are more objective, based on established laws
    • Ethical judgments are more personal and varied, rooted in individual morals and values
    • Obtaining data from networks involves separate ethical and legal concerns: the first being network measurement data and the second being the publication of that data. Respecting user privacy and respectful use of published data, and avoiding the violation of communication privacy laws related to privacy, are important considerations

    Need for Cyber Regulation Based on Cyber Ethics

    • Governments, policymakers, professionals, organizations, and citizens need to be involved in creating appropriate cyber laws
    • Cyber law requires the safe and ethically sensitive use of information for future benefit and applications
    • Lawful collection, retention, processing, transmission, and use of personal data are necessary
    • Cyber ethics establishes the foundation for cyber legal principles, protecting data and aspects of human effort in cyberspace
    • The global cost of cybercrime is constantly increasing

    Cybercrime Categories

    • The Internet is not safe; cybercrime growth is a concern for individuals, companies, and governments
    • Cybercrimes impact organizations' economies and reputations
    • Cybercrimes can be classified into categories impacting individuals, companies, organizations, property, society, and government

    Cyber Law and Intellectual Property (IP)

    • Intellectual Property (IP) is the field of law managing the privileges of individuals creating unique works; it covers plays, books, and company logos
    • IP is key to promoting economic growth through new technologies and artistic expressions
    • IP rights related to cyber law fall into classifications like copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, domain disputes, contracts, privacy, employment, defamation, data retention, and jurisdiction

    Challenges in Cyber Law

    • Jurisdiction is a vital but complex factor when developing cyber laws; settling lawful choices and decisions online is difficult due to the virtual nature of the internet
    • It is hard to determine which country's or jurisdiction's laws apply if two jurisdictions consider the same action illegal and have different penalties
    • Policing activities become complex in a virtual space
