The convergence of information technology and laws that govern it has steadily grown over the past several decades and has evolved into what is now known as IT law or cyberlaw. The term cyberlaw is an umbrella term or hypernym and includes a number of legal areas of law that include intellectual property rights, privacy, and data protection, to name a few.
Conversely, Internet Law specifically addresses geopolitical borders or jurisdictional boundary issues (i.e., local, state, federal and international). For example, GDRP which highly regulates data and privacy within organizations in Europe is far stricter than U.S. laws can create significant problems for American businesses seeking to do business in those countries that do not comply.
Thus, our mission is to focus on these two unique pardigms of law in effort to inform the public of emerging regulations and politics that affect them.
