Are cyber and Internet laws a new branch of law?
There isn’t straightforward correct answer for this! Basically there are two kinds of opinions concerning the said matter. Some think that cyber or Internet laws are truly new kind of branches of law that poses serious challenges to the traditional legal theories and traditional laws can not cope and regulate cyberspace, so we need a radical thinking and truly new laws to regulate cyberspace while the others think that traditional applicable laws can cope with the new emerging issues and so there isn’t a new branch of law. I am not a fan of these two extreme approaches and in my humble opinion I think that cyberspace and Internet laws are not a wholly new branch of law nor that exiting laws are capable of addressing all the issues that is raised by cyberspace. We do need new laws when the traditional laws are not capable of addressing the current problems.
