Computers have permeated all walks of life in such a manner that now it is difficult to imagine life without them. Financial services like banking, airlines, telecommunications, and large industries, all depend on computer networks. These developments have given rise to unprecedented economic and social changes, but they have also led to a new type of crime: cyber crimes.
Cyber crimes target everyone. For individuals they take the form of credit card frauds, online frauds, harassment through emails and cyber pornography; businesses are targeted through hacking, data theft, and violation of intellectual property rights, etc. Against governments, we have cyber terrorism, cyber espionage, and Denial of Service attacks, etc. Conventional law finds it very difficult to cope with cyber crimes because they often transcend national boundaries and their respective territorial jurisdictions. Cyber law was enacted to address this and to meet the requirements of e-commerce.
This book offers an exhaustive exposition of the Information Technology Act 2000 and the Information Technology (Amendment) Act 2008; cyber law with specific reference to crimes against women; cyber pornography; financial crimes like credit card frauds and online frauds etc.; intellectual property rights; cyber legislations of other nations; liability of Internet service providers for copyright infringement; and cyber law and e-commerce, etc. all illustrated with the help of decided cases.
This book is an exposition of cyber law for the common man—how he can take recourse to the cyber law in case he becomes a victim of cyber crime. For students of law, police officers, lawyers and media persons this book is a comprehensive introduction to cyber law.
