What is Cyberlaw?
Internet is believed to be full of anarchy and a system of law and regulation therein seems contradictory. However, cyberspace is being governed by a system of law and regulation called Cyberlaw. There is no one exhaustive definition of the term "Cyberlaw". Simply speaking, Cyberlaw is a generic term which refers to all the legal and regulatory aspects of Internet and the World Wide Web. Anything concerned with or related to or emanating from any legal aspects or issues concerning any activity of netizens and others, in Cyberspace comes within the ambit of Cyberlaw. The growth of Electronic Commerce has propelled the need for vibrant and effective regulatory mechanisms which would further strengthen the legal infrastructure, so crucial to the success of Electronic Commerce. All these regulatory mechanisms and legal infrastructures come within the domain of Cyberlaw.

Internet seems like something that is practically unenforceable for the average Joe. The most you can hope for is the dispute a credit card purchase if you get taken for a ride on a sale. Most of the companies you do business with are well hidden. Their locations are obscure and you can only contact them via email or an 800 number if you are lucky. Many companies operate offshore so that poses another problem for the small internet consumer. All in all, you just have to hope you are dealing with ethical people and read the fine print to see what they are commiting to.

I think there's more of a morale concious on the internet, an unwritten law. Many abide to it, many don't.
