The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private and public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope that are linked by a broad array of electronic and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast array of information resources and services, most notably the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support electronic mail.
The Internet opened up an entirely new area of law, dealing with new matters, not previously know and some although known, are dealth with differently on the Internet.
If you use the Internet, do business on the Internet or simply, or are simply interested working or playing on the Internet, you should have some knowledge of laws that may effect you.
