Abstract:
The internet has transformed the world of work in ways that could not have been imagined even a decade ago. Almost anything we do is intimately connected to information creation, retrieval, processing or management. Regardless of perceived ethical or enforcement limitations, laws have become increasingly significant, from the protection of copyright to the enforcement of online contracts. Cyberlaw@SA III: the law of the internet in South Africa provides specialist insight into the myriad legal issues generated by the convergence of tecnologies and the rise of the internet. The third edition of Cyberlaw@SA is a comprehensive and updated version of the original text and covers a wide range of topics and new areas of discussion in the field of cyberlaw, including going more in-depth on issues of e-taxation, cybercrime laws, and the processing of e-evidence and its value in civil and criminal proceedings.
