Gary P. Price OF Lewis & Kappes

Indiana civil and criminal laws nowadays have to deal with new types of disputes and criminal offenses. Internet offenses such as libel, defamation, copyright violation, domain squatting, and trademark stealing are some new types of civil disputes being heard in Indiana courts today. Similarly, criminal offenses committed via the internet, such as fraud, identity theft, hacking, and other similar crimes require new interpretation of traditional criminal laws. For example, software is now considered at par with literary creations, and copyright laws treat copying and illegal distribution of software at par with copyright violation of books. Similarly, trademark laws in Indiana protect the rights of those who legitimately use trademarked items and technologies for commercial purposes. Trademark laws are playing a larger role today in settling disputes related to computer and internet technology.

While old laws have been used in cases pertaining to contemporary technologies or products, many new laws have come into force to deal with legal issues that cannot be adequately handled by older laws. The CAN-SPAM, in force since 2003, penalizes spamming and unsolicited marketing or unlawful communications with customers.

To defend someone accused of internet crimes, or to settle civil disputes in the areas mentioned above, there is a need to hire lawyers with the required theoretical knowledge and extensive practice experience in these areas.
