digital law overview
What is Digital Law and why is it important?
The element of Digital Law is vital to the overall idea of Digital Citizenship. This element establishes the boundaries in which we work and play in the digital world. Digital Law ensures that there are not only clear and specific guidelines for appropriate use of digital assets, it also ensure that there are very real consequences for violations (Ribble, 2015). One example of these consequences occurred when the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) fined students and others for downloading music illegally (Ribble, 2015).

CONNECTIONS TO Digital Law
Digital Law and Customer Care Centers
Digital Law plays a huge role in a Customer Care Center. Associates in the care center have access to a wide range of amounts of customer data, ranging from, name and address, to Credit Card and Social Security numbers. In addition to the personal data, our associates also use the internet for a variety of work functions. Therefore, it is vital that they understand the correct use of the available resources and how to ensure they are protecting their customer's privacy. Failure to do so, opens our company up to a variety legal issues ranging from small fines to significant legal settlements.
