Description
This course will focus on the regulation of the online world and networked transactions and will explore these ideas from the viewpoint of users and consumers, particularly those engaging with Social Media and other Internet 2.0 services. Cyberspace Law 2.0 is a General Studies elective subject for non-law- students, while LAWS3532 is available for certain law students.
It provides a good grounding for understanding how the legal and regulatory world interacts with online ones.
Main Topics
The Cyberspace Law 2.0 Course aims to assist you to:
• Appreciate how the online world is similar and different from the physical world from a regulatory perspective;
• become competent in reading and understanding court case judgments and how they are constructed and show which arguments won and why;
• be able to take a systematic approach to analysing the legal issues involved in various problems and conflicts commonly encountered online;
• develop an understanding of the implications of different countries and jurisdictions having different laws, but online services covering the world;
• contrast legal compliance and enforcement under the old centralised Internet with 'Social Networking' and 'User Generated Content' models of Web 2.0
