Law Governing Computer Use

Law on Piracy.Section 33-b of Republic Act 8792, Part V (Philippines)

- defines piracy as the unauthorized copying, reproduction, dissemination, distribution, importation, use, removal, alteration, substitution, modification, storage, uploading, downloading, communication, making available to the public, or broadcasting of protected material, electronic signature or copyrighted works including legally protected sound recordings or phonographs or information material on protected works, through the use of telecommunication networks, such as, but not limited to, in the internet, in the manner that infringes intellectual property rights shall be punished by a minimum fine of one hundred thousand pesos ( P 100,000.00) and a maximum commensurate to the damage incurred and a mandatory imprisonment of six(6) months to three(3) years...

The Law on Piracy is underpinned in non-jural laws like moral law and natural law, because these human actions violate righteousness, justice, equity and fairness.

    1. Some blogs writing about law on computer use don't really put the country where it is implemented which makes the reader of their blog confused if this were implemented to their country. Thumbs up, for specifying which country it was implemented. Good practice of yours.
