legal issues were brought in to law to stop people from downloading and sharing other people's creations. these laws have change the way people use the Internet but people still break the law and take advantage of the way copyright is used.
Data Protection Act
Computer Misuse Act
Copyright law
Data protection act gives protection to information of people who are connected both manual and electronic. it does protects the privacy of peoples information and it gives the right and freedoms of private data. Some acts do not apply to the data protection act such as using a personal address book; they must keep anything which is really personal to them.
Computer misuse Act blocks cyber thief's from getting in to any of your personal details. R v Gold & Schifreen was the first people to hack in to the data of the parliament using an old 1980's computer, later on they had created the law which made it illegal to hack in and take information. It was mostly thieving information from other people’s computers. It still happens today but your important data and information are a lot safe because it is impossible to get away from the computer misuse legalization. Many countries have taken up this law to stop the cyber crime from happening.
Copyright is legal to the artist or the creator to use that work anywhere they want, but it is only illegal to people who haven't had permission to use it. They had made illegal for a wide range of copyright because the creator of the work cannot gain any benefits when people who are downloading it for free of file sharing sites. Some right are fair and some are not, artist creators will have to follow this law and will not be able to share the artist’s creations online, otherwise it would be an illegal act and will be prosecuted for their actions.
