PRIVACY and INFRINGEMENT (not fringement)
Privacy is something that more and more internet and corporate users are
being concerned with. How do you ensure that you anonymity is not violated
while online, just think about those spyware that sometimes you get on your
computer. Here is a description from one of the internet encyclopedia
(remember a search engine is your best friend while studying):
For citizens and consumers, freedom from unauthorized intrusion. For
organizations, privacy involves the policies that determine what information
is gathered, how it is used, and how customers are informed and involved in
this process. Privacy is a legal issue, but it's also an information
security issue. Customer outrage over stolen credit card numbers, for
instance, is a privacy problem brought about by inadequate security.
Infringement can take many forms, here is another definition from the web:
Violation of intellectual property rights, such as unauthorized use of a
patent, copyright, trade-mark, industrial design or integrated circuit
topography. Often also includes a misappropriation of a trade secret or
confidential information. A successful infringement claim against you can
result in the payment of damages and an injunction preventing you from your
infringing use of intellectual property.
Take care
Clement
