In modern society, almost everything we do is
intimately connected to information creation, retrieval, processing or
management, and the internet is at the heart of this growing information
society or knowledge economy. Technology has a real impact on people’s rights,
and laws have become increasingly significant, whether in the enforcement of
copyright law regarding the downloading of MP3-formatted songs through file
sharing technologies or in the application of the general principles of
contract law to online contracts. Cyberlaw@SA IV: the law
of the internet in South Africa is therefore directed at advancing the principles of digital jurisprudence.
Comprehensively updated, the fourth
edition of Cyberlaw@SA IV: the law of the internet in South Africa
covers a wide range of topics and areas of discussion in the field of cyberlaw,
from protection of domain names and personal information to identity theft and
privacy. This edition provides in-depth discussions of e-taxation, protection
of data, cybercrime laws, copyright law, consumer law and the processing of
e-evidence and its value in civil and criminal proceedings.
Contents include the following:
·
ISP liability and take-down
notice procedure
