Internet/Technology Lawsuits

Internet and Technology laws are a fast-growing area for policy makers, lawyers, business owners, and individual consumers. As technology changes at a rapid pace, consumer rights and business e-commerce rights may be challenged in new and unusual ways.

Cyber laws and related amendments can protect consumers and enforce regulations regarding privacy acts, internet crime, internet fraud, internet business practices, online gambling, freedom of expression, and more. One common act is the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act). This act was put in place to prevent consumers from receiving inappropriate and unsolicited emails.

Lawyers and law firms specializing in Internet and Technology laws can help with your questions and complaints.
