Not only do the "normal" laws also apply to the Internet, but because of the special significance of the Internet today, there are even a whole host of regulations and rules that have been created specifically for it. Only at first glance does the Internet appear to be a place of boundless freedom and anonymity. For everyone who does business here, but also for every consumer, the rules and regulations that apply here are summarised under the term Internet law.
The regulations most frequently applied in this area today relate to e-commerce, i.e. sales and trade via the Internet. From here, numerous other areas of law arise, such as domain law, multimedia law and, of course, many areas of competition law. In the end, Internet law is as extensive as the information and services available on the Internet. This is one reason why more and more lawyers are working in this area.

Anyone who actively sells products and services on the Internet will soon find themselves unable to do so without a lawyer. The amount of legal requirements that need to be observed if you really want to work in a legally sound manner is too extensive. Accordingly, those who shy away from spending money on this are taking a big risk. In doing so, they offer competitors a lot of scope for attack, which can then quickly put an end to a business idea. Proper handling of data protection, correct and complete general terms and conditions, legally compliant marketing (newsletter, SEO, SEM, cookie consent, etc.) and the development of affiliate systems should be an integral part of everyone's business activities on the Internet today and should be supported by a lawyer.
Private individuals can now come into conflict with the law more quickly than was previously the case thanks to the Internet. Downloading protected works such as music, pictures or films is not always intentional, but can also be done by simply clicking on links without thinking. Expensive penalties and warnings can therefore affect almost anyone. This is already very often the case, especially in families with children.
More and more people are also falling victim to phishing attacks aimed at illegally tapping into bank details or account information. The potential damage is often immense and the question of guilt is not always easy to clarify.
While workplace bullying is now easy to prosecute, cyberbullying is still somewhat more complicated. Here, the boundaries between permissible expression of opinion and proper offence are even more blurred than in normal everyday life due to the media. The effects are usually even worse, because the part of the internet that is used for bullying is generally much larger than in the workplace, for example. A lawyer who deals with cyberbullying therefore usually tries to have clear violations of personal rights penalised.
While it used to be quite easy for the copyright holder to control the distribution of an item, the Internet has changed everything. Digital or easily digitised content in particular - software, images, films, books - can be distributed worldwide in a matter of seconds. This often means enormous economic damage for the author or rights holder.
The "digital" competition can also quickly become dangerous for your own company on the Internet. Reputation-damaging campaigns spread quickly and are difficult to stop. Without legal advice from a lawyer, clean reputation management on the Internet is very difficult today.
The term Internet law covers various laws and regulations (also from other areas of law) that also or especially apply to the Internet. In practice, this primarily concerns the regulations on e-commerce, the topic of copyright and licence rights, but also areas of competition law, data protection or the topic of bullying.
The term online law is often used synonymously with the term internet law.

From the legal review of websites and general terms and conditions for online shops to data protection declarations or the defence against false reviews in comparison portals, a lawyer can also handle all legally relevant topics in online business.
