1. Cyber law governs rules related to use of the internet and addresses legal issues like intellectual property, privacy, freedom of expression, and jurisdiction.
2. Cyber law encompasses laws around cyber crimes, digital signatures, intellectual property, data protection, and privacy. The Information Technology Act, 2000 was enacted in India to regulate e-commerce, cyber crimes, and other cyber activities.
3. Regulation of cyber space can occur through norms, law, architecture (technological design), or market forces. As online interactions increase, cyber law is important to balance individual privacy with organizations' interests while addressing new legal challenges of technology.
This document discusses several key issues relating to the investigation and regulation of cybercrimes. It covers topics such as obtaining witness cooperation, choosing the appropriate jurisdiction, logistical barriers to international investigations, identifying suspects, challenges with search and seizure of digital evidence, problems of encryption, locating and securing relevant materials, use of mutual assistance treaties, and securing extradition when suspects are located across international borders. Overall, the document outlines the complex legal and technical challenges involved in investigating cybercrimes that cross international lines.
1. Several copyright issues arise in cyberspace, including linking, framing, protection of content on websites, and international treaties. Deep linking and framing can undermine the rights of website owners if they divert traffic or create confusion between sites.
2. Software piracy, distribution of pirated software, and copying of code violate copyright. Databases containing raw data are also protected, as is the design and content of websites.
3. Determining what constitutes private versus public use of copyrighted material is challenging online. Reproduction that occurs during internet transmission may infringe on copyright depending on legal interpretation. Permission is advised when linking to or displaying copyrighted content from other sites.

3. Companies can monitor business-related information stored on or sent through corporate servers but likely cannot access personal communications like texts and social media. To minimize liability, companies should have clear, transparent BYOD policies and limit monitoring to work-related matters stored on company servers.
eFax Corporate® can help your organization with HIPAA-compliant cloud faxing solutions. Safeguarding your patients’ electronic protected health information (ePHI) is the law. However, when it comes to complying with the Security Rule (part of HIPAA) and implementation of technical safeguards, no specific requirement as to the technology solution a covered entity must implement to protect ePHI is identified. Rather, the Security Rule codifies that a covered entity must “Implement technical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to electronic protected health information that is being transmitted over an electronic communications network.”1 This is especially true given the risk of breach and exposure of ePHI over the Internet for covered entities today.

This document discusses the legal aspects of social networks for alumni groups of educational institutions in the Netherlands. It finds that LinkedIn, Facebook and Hyves all have alumni groups, with differences in the types of studies that tend to use each network.

Privacy is also a concern regarding how personal data is collected and used, though these may be less of an issue when connecting within an existing personal network of alumni. The advice is to use social networks to maintain a presence and relationships, but build relationships directly as well

HijackLoader Evolution: Interactive Process HollowingDonato Onofri
CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.
In their analysis of a recent HijackLoader sample, CrowdStrike researchers discovered new techniques designed to increase the defense evasion capabilities of the loader. The malware developer used a standard process hollowing technique coupled with an additional trigger that was activated by the parent process writing to a pipe. This new approach, called "Interactive Process Hollowing", has the potential to make defense evasion stealthier.

of your Intellectual Property rights
32. So if “people just like you” build every place in Second Life, who owns what?
Like most businesses, Linden Lab owns all Intellectual Property rights and
copyright for things related to providing its platform - Second Life, including:
Second Life software
Linden Lab:
servers
websites
content
trademarks
logos
Users need to use these to access Second Life, so Linden Lab grants users a
limited license to use Linden Lab’s property - without transferring any of the
ownership.
(1) http://www.lindenlab.com/tos - Sections 2
33. Linden Lab encourages users to build and create the 3D world that is Second Life.
This is called, User Content.
Users need to own the IP rights, copyright and/or licenses for user content.
They need to own these so they are able to legally pass those rights onto Linden
Lab.
(1) http://www.lindenlab.com/tos - Sections 2
34. In the 2013 TOS, users granted Linden Lab non-exclusive rights to their user
content. Non-exclusivity enables users to retain their own IP and copyrights while
they grant others the same rights.
However, unlike the limited rights granted by Linden Lab, the user granted Linden
Lab “unrestricted, unconditional, unlimited, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual
and cost-free right and license(1)” to their content.
Content which Linden Lab could then “use, copy, record, distribute, reproduce,
disclose, modify, display, publicly perform, transmit, publish, broadcast,
translate, make derivative works of, and sell, re-sell or sublicense(1).”
Linden Lab also removed the phrase “solely for the purpose of providing and
promoting the Service” (2) .
(1) http://www.lindenlab.com/tos - Sections 2
(2) http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Terms_of_Service_Archive/Through_6_May_2013
35. This caused some controversy among creators (Korolov, 2013) which led to Linden
Labs including the phrase “inworld or otherwise on the Service.(1)” The Linden
Blog hopes that this will “assuage some of the concerns” had by creators.
However, the ownership and subsequent use of user content remains ambiguous
and some texture sites, such as CGTextures(2), expressly forbid the uploading of
their textures, even if modified, to Second Life or used in any way connected
with Linden Research Inc.

36.
37. Standard contracts, such as Linden Lab’s TOS, are also called Contracts of
Adhesion(1).
The TOS contract and policies(2):
are offered as is, with no room for negotiation
give users the choice of either signing or going without the service
restrict legal action to being submitted to a San Francisco courtroom
restrict the ability to bring class actions against Linden Lab
give Linden Lab control over the service and content
provide that users waive all moral rights and statutory rights
negate Linden Lab’s responsibilities but places the onus on users
enable Linden Lab to terminate access to content
deny users the ability to terminate licenses and rights to content
It is important to read and understand the Terms of Service so that you know how
the rights, controls and obligations are balanced or biased.

38. We are all individuals and as such, we have different needs and
expectations when accessing a platform such as Second Life.
After you have read and understood the Terms of Service, and the related
policies, you need to ask yourself:
Are you satisfied with the Terms of Service?
Are the benefits you gain greater than the rights you waiver?
Is the loss of privacy balanced by the protection of your freedoms?
Is your lack of control balanced by your enjoyment of Second Life?
Do you want to press the ?
