Information Technology Law

The advancement of Information Technology in all sectors of society has resulted in many new and complex legal challenges. Some of these include the protection of software, multimedia products, electronic databases and other information-based assets. Other laws pertaining to Information Technology include:

• ICANN — domain name disputes
• Regulatory laws — the regulation of data protection/privacy, the control of high technology exports, and the regulation of the Internet
• Commercial law — the impact of contract, competition, sales, bankruptcy and tax laws on the distribution and sale of computers and information-based products and services
