These regulations are designed to protect us when purchasing good and services 'off premises'. This means we are covered when buying goods from online retailers. When purchasing online you have the right to:

2. The total price of the goods

3. How they will be provided to you

4. All additional delivery charges

5. Details about your right to cancel

6. Information on the compatibility of digital content with hardware and other software that the trader is aware of (or can reasonably be expected to be aware of)

In summary, Consumer Contracts Regulations state that:

Your right to cancel an order for goods made at a distance starts when you receive the goods and lasts for 14 days

Your right to cancel a service made at a distance starts the moment you enter into the contract and lasts 14 days

If you want to download digital content within the 14-day cancellation period, you must agree to waive your cancellation rights

Companies are not allowed to charge you for items they put in your online shopping basket or that you have bought as a result of a pre-ticked box

The Copyright Designs and Patents Act (1988) gives creators of digital media the rights to control how their work is used and distributed. Music, books, videos, games and software can all be covered by copyright law.

Anything which you design or code is automatically copyrighted and may not be copied without your permission, as the digital creator.

When you buy software, for example, copyright law forbids you from:

Giving a copy to a friend

Making a copy and then selling it

Using the software on a (unless the you signed allows it. For example, you may be allowed to install an app on 3 devices within a family)

Renting the software without the permission of the copyright holder

Some applications or programs will only run if a special piece of hardware is plugged into the computer or if a unique code is entered for that specific device.

The Federation Against Software Theft (FAST)

In 1984 a voluntary, not for profit, group FAST was set up by the computer/software industry. It aims to prevent software and has a policy of prosecuting anyone found to be breaching law.

FAST also works to educate the public about good software practice and legal requirements.

Software piracy

Software piracy is the illegal copying and sale of software products. This includes both professional criminals who make large numbers of copies of software and sell them illegally, and individual users who copy a friend's CD or use the internet to download and install software or digital media they haven't paid for.

Preventing software piracy

Software companies spend a lot of money developing applications and programs. They take many steps to help stop software piracy.

An agreement between the software developer and the user must be agreed before the software is installed. This is called the license agreement. Any use prohibited by this agreement is illegal

Certain pieces of software require a unique key to be entered before the installation will continue

Some applications or programs will only run if the media (CD / DVD) is in the drive. Others require compulsory registration and may insist on being connected to the internet during registration or use - e.g., Microsfoft Office or the Amazon app store

Software licensing

When you purchase a piece of software, you don't actually own it. What you are buying is a licence to be able to use the software.

In the 1990s, with more and more organisations using digital technology to store and process personal information, there was a danger this information could be misused. The Data Protection Act of 1998 was designed to tackle this issue.

Data stored electronically is vulnerable as it is very easy to copy it to a removable drive or to email/ transfer it via the internet. Individuals who had data stored about them (Data Subjects) had several concerns:

Who could access this information?

How accurate was the information?

Could it be easily copied?

Was it possible to store information about a person without that individual's knowledge or permission?

The Data Protection Act aims to safeguard all information held about an individual classified as personal (e.g., name, address, financial details) or sensitive (e.g., ethnicity, political opinion, religion). The act ensures data stored about you is processed fairly and lawfully. For example, there are strict rules as to who can access and alter your health records. Regular checks are made to ensure that the rules of the Data Protection Act are being followed.

Principles of the Data Protection Act:

1. Data must be collected and used fairly and inside the law

2. Data must only be held and used for the reasons given to the Information Commissioner

3. Data can only be used for those registered purposes. You cannot give it away or sell it unless you said you would initially. For example, your school could not sell pupils' data to a book or uniform supplier without permission

4. The data held must be acceptable, appropriate and not beyond what is necessary when compared with the purpose for which the data is held

5. Data must be accurate and be kept up to date. For example, making sure data subjects' contact numbers are current

6. Data must not be kept longer than is necessary. This rule means that it would be wrong to keep information about past customers longer than a few years at most

7. Data must be kept safe and secure, for example, personal data should not be left open to be viewed by just anyone

8. Data may not be transferred outside of the European Economic Area (that's the EU plus some small European countries) unless the country where the data is being sent has a suitable and similar data protection law. This part of the Data Protection Act has led to some countries passing compatible laws to allow computer data centres to be located in their jurisdiction
