In addition, the legal concepts that arise due to engaging in e-commerce and emailing will also be examined. In doing so, students will learn basic legal terms, as well as learn to identify and articulate the legal concepts and related issues that arise by their actions of placing text, photographs, motion pictures and/or sound recordings on the internet.
