LAW 3850 - e-Business Law

This course examines the legal aspects of electronic business. Law is an essential part of any study of electronic business since law provides three types of infrastructure required for any economic system to function, including electronic business. First, law defines what is property (i.e., the objects of trade and ownership - without property definitions, the whole idea of business falls apart). Second, law plays an integral part in the creation of a secure system of payment for the purchase items on the Internet. Finally, law provides an enforcement mechanism is needed to punish transgressions of the substantive rules that govern electronic business. This course will also examine ethical concerns involved in electronic business.
