| - The term information technology law (IT law) refers to an ever-growing field of law that focuses on those legal issues that arise from the emerging information society, which is driven by certain technologies like computers, wireless communications and the Internet. Topics encompassed within information technology law include: the protection of computer software and databases, information access and controls, privacy and security, Internet law, and electronic commerce. Information technologies are extremely powerful tools. Therefore, the stakes of identifying the best laws and policies for their use are very high.
