After the welcome note by the Additional Director, the team of Cyber laws experts through an interactive session informed the students of scope of Cyber laws. Mr. Ryder said that there is a very good prospect for those pursuing Intellectual Property Rights (IPR )laws. This has now become a compulsory paper from an optional one and this has to do with rising risks in this area. Mr. Ryder very aptly compared the risks involved in real estate construction work with risks involved in IPR. The team delved deeper into intricacies involving domain names, trademarks and protection of intellectual property.
Highlighting the current concerns of governments across the world, they said that today interception of communication has become essential because enemies are no longer known to us.They hide behind shadows and in this case behind digitized walls. Thus, only the governments can and should control the Internet.
