Cyber law is a term used to describe the legal issues related to use of communications technology, particularly "cyberspace", i.e. the Internet. It is less a distinct field of law in the way that property or contract are as it is an intersection of many legal fields, including intellectual property, privacy, freedom of expression, and jurisdiction. In essence, cyber law is an attempt to integrate the challenges presented by human activity on the Internet with legacy system of laws applicable to the physical world.
This really is a joke to me! lol I don't know how people can regulate something that is not real or virtual. It is not real, nor is it touchable or feasible, so how can it be regulated? don't get me wrong I would like there to be limits to people with a background in stalking and other scary mental illnesses. However, that would rule out the 1st amendment. which then makes me laugh even more because how can something real, on paper, like the constitution, be upheld in a virtual world?! It cannot! can it? So what then? virtual police? computer programs running around checking your computer for viruses and illegal porn? or even how about bad virtual police that get a virus to collect ALL the data off of your computer, such as bank numbers, passwords etc.? It's all crazy scary to me, but I do enjoy the virtual world just as much as the next virtualian (a person who spends more time in the virtual world than in reality, I just made it up)
Nevertheless, it is good that we are trying to regulate something that is un-regulatable.
