Cyber Crime

Cyber crime is a generic term that refers to all criminal activities done using the medium of computers, the internet, cyber space and the worldwide web. There isn’t really a fixed definition for cyber crime. The Indian law has not given any definition to the term ‘cyber crime’. In fact, the Indian Penal Code does not use the term ‘cyber crime’ at any point even after its amendment by the Information Technology Act, 2000 in the Indian cyber law.

In most other cases, the traditional principles specified in the section 20 of the Civil Procedure Code are abided with. These principles state that either you can plead for jurisdiction in the place where the infringement has happened or the person against whom you want to take an action resides.
