Digital+Law+Wiki

= Digital Law﻿ = ===Digital law refers to the legal rights and restrictions governing technology use (Ribble 26). The issues surrounding digital law were brought to the forefront when file sharing (particularly music file sharing) became easy to access. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) began fining individuals for downloading music illegally. Due to the action taken by the RIAA, people began to think twice about their technology sharing decisions. With the widespread use of the internet in numerous facets of life over the last twenty years, several digital law issues have arisen. These issues include using file-sharing sites, pirating software, subverting digital rights management technologies, hacking into systems or networks, and stealing someone’s identity. Some of these issues affect the education system as well. Administrators must work to keep their teachers and students informed of the legal use of technology policies. This project will examine each issue in depth as well as provide some information for teachers to ensure the appropriate and legal use of technology in the classroom. ===
