Cyber law related to copyright

 Cyberlaw related to copyright

Cyberlaw is also called IT law regarding information – technology including computers and the internet.

It is related to legal informatics and supervises the digital circulation of information, software,

information security, and e-commerce.

Cyberlaw is very important, as it covers all transactions over the internet, It keeps eyes on all activities

over the internet and it also touches every action and every reaction in cyberspace.

On the other hand, a copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner exclusive right to

copy and distribute a creative work, usually for a limited time. The creative work may be in a literary,

artistic, educational, or musical form. Copyright is intended to protect the original expression of an idea

in the form of creative work, but not the idea itself. It covers scholarly works, for example; books,

sonnets, plays, references, paperwork melodic pieces, etc.

There are various types of copyright infringement such as framing, linking, caching, and public display of

the right by transferring on the internet and archiving.

Framing means a process of permitting a client to view the content of one site while it is outlined by

data of another site, like the ‘ image in picture’ highlight offered on certain TVs. In a famous case known

as Future Dontics, INC v. Applied Anagramics Inc, in this case, the plaintiff was granted the exclusive use

of a telephone number and service mark of a business. The plaintiff later built up publicizing the

business.

Linking is connecting the user from the original site to a linked site. The client is provided with access to

a website through the original site. In the case, Shetland Times Ltd v Jonathan Wills and others as the

first 'linking case the issue introduced in Shetland times was whether the Shetland deep-link to inserted

pages of the Shetland the site, using times sites news headlines, was a demonstration of copyright

infringement under British law.

Caching is the process in which material is duplicated from a unique source to the cache. Such material

is accessible to the user for a temporary timeframe .it can be executed in 3 ways, such s first can be

replicating of the record itself which is shown on the computer screen while getting to the web.

Secondly, the record that is being shown is duplicated and thirdly, the archives are not stored on a

personal computer but on an ISP or a website.

Archiving is another type of crime, it is a process that involves downloading and putting away the

material of another site and incorporating the same.

Public display or right by posting pictures, when any work is published on the internet, it can be viewed

by any user without any hindrance. Thus, when copyright material is published on the web without

approval, it turns into an infringement.

These are the types of copyright law in relation to cyber security

Case Laws related to Defamation in favour of ClaimantCase Laws related to Defamation in favour of Claimant. TOLLEY Vs, J.S FRY & SONS LTD – (1931) Facts The defendants were owners of chocolate manufacturing company. They advertised their products with a caricature of the claimant, who was a prominent amateur golfer, showing him with the defendants’ chocolate in his pocket while playing golf. The advertisement compared the excellence of the chocolate to the excellence of the claimant’s drive. The claimant did not consent to or knew about the advertisement. Issue The claimant alleged that the advertisement suggested that he agreed to his portrait being used for commercial purposes and for financial gain. He further claimed that the use of his image made him look like someone who prostituted his reputation for advertising purposes and was thus unworthy of his status. At trial, several golfers gave evidence to the effect that if an amateur sold himself for advertisement, he no longer maintained his amateur status and might be asked to resign from his respective club. Furthermore, there was evidence that the possible adverse effects of the caricature on the claimant’s reputation were brought to the defendants’ attention. The trial judge found that the caricature could have a defamatory meaning. The jury then found in favor of the claimant. Held The House of Lords held that in the circumstances of this case – as explained by the facts – the caricature was capable of constituting defamation. In other words, the publication could have the meaning alleged by the claimant. The Lords also ordered a new trial limited to the assessment of damages. NEWSTEAD V LANDON EXPRESS NEWSPAPER LTD, (1939) Facts: A newspaper published a defamatory article about Harold Newstead. However, another person with this name brought an action in libel. He claimed that the article had been misunderstood as leading to him. The defendant newspaper recognised that they published the article. Also, they denied that they had the intention of being defamatory of him. Consequently, the claimant argued that the newspaper was under a duty. The duty was to give a clear and complete description of the correct person. Moreover, the claimant argued that the defendants were in breach of the duty. Issues: The issue in Newstead v London Express Newspaper, was if the reasonable persons would have understood the words complained of to refer to the plaintiff. Held: The Court of Appeal stated that in accordance with the current law on libel, liability for libel does not depend on the intention of the defamer; but on the fact of the defamation. Accordingly, a reasonable man, in this case a newspaper publisher, must be aware of the possibility of individuals with the same name and must assume that the words published will be read by a reasonable man with reasonable care.
