The Internet is the fast-evolving business and information access
medium for many people in the world, but unfortunately, the legal system couldn’t
keep up with the progress of these technology. Legal disputes can exist with
owning a website and knowing the common legal issues might help steer you away
from potential problem areas listed here.
1.
Copyrights
A website you made by hand cannot be copied by other
websites and content from your websites should be given credit when referenced
by other websites. While copyrights to your website design could be your main
concern, you could have trouble if you display the creative works of other
Internet users, specifically photographs, images, audio and video. Always give
credit to your sources.
2.
Domain
Names
A website’s domain name is the most important part of a
website. To avoid losing a domain name, it is important that you obtain a
trademark registration. Most website owners without a trademark registration
ended up giving up the domain names that they actually paid for. For multiple
domain names, you’ll need to make multiple registrations as well, even if
working with just a single webhost.
3.
Defamation
It is easier to write lascivious material in the Internet
especially if you’re anonymous. If any other website or comment defamed your
website, it must adhere to the following before it is approved a valid
defamation complaint:
1.
The statement is published with a third-party
involved
2.
The person who issued the statement knows the statement
was false
