Its been a while, actually over an year , since i been wanting to learn a little bit of the law in regarding to computer and the Internet. As you guys know with out any doubt, any one who has been around the Internet would have noticed all the copyright and disclaimer statements in the bottom of the web site and the long TOS when you join some websites like gmail, yahoo, face book, etc. These things have always been a topic of interest for me. More than an interest they made me curious as well. Why do all these site have them, why don't they let us join with out pointing to us the legal disclaimer and stuff like that.
More than website, the topics about of piracy and file sharing contain a lot of law statements. Stuff that made file sharing legal in some and illegal in other country. People getting sued and punished for sharing music and songs in US were as a person who have downloaded of 2000 movies and countless music in Spain found not guilty by the law as it is legal there. Also the non commercial distribution of even copyrighted materials are legal in Canada. NOW WHATS UP WITH THAT.
So due to these said reason i been thinking about learning cyber law. Sadly i haven been able to make these thoughts of mine into action yet due to some reason like - no time, where to start, can i get a degree in it. Sadly the Engineering degree that i am doing doesn't teach me anything related to the various type of laws and stuff of the software and there are no option for it either.
Then one day i saw this ad on the new paper about asianlaws.org
Diploma in Cyber Law
Basic level course in Indian cyber law. Conducted jointly with Govt. Law College, Mumbai. Its a degree only based on the cyber laws in India but doesn't covers more of international issues but its a start and it also teaches of law about cyber theft, and the incident i reported in my past post, that is also one of the reason why i am taking it more seriously. So i will be joining this program soon and more over to help you guys out there i will be posting links to various resources on cyber laws in my future blog post.
