| Advent of technology not only widens scientific horizon but also poses constant challenges for the jurisprudence, legal system and legal world as a whole. Computers, Internet and Cyberspace - together known as Information Technology – presents challenges for the law. Challenges, which are not confined, to any single traditional legal category but in almost all established categories of law such as Criminal law, Contract, Tort, as well as legal concepts of property, expression, identity, movement etc. Existing legal system and framework has shown inadequacy of law while dealing with Information Technology itself as well as while dealing with the changes induced by the Information Technology in the way of our living. The courts throughout the world have been dealing with these problems. Presently, the law (Statutory or otherwise) providing answers to these problems or dealing with the Information Technology is termed as ‘Computer Laws’ or ‘Information Technology Laws’ or ‘Cyberlaws’. |
