Defamation
Defamation is a law that is used and strictly followed to protect said individual against inexcusable and unwarranted attacks that may cause ones reputation to be destroyed.
Libel:
Libel means it relates to the publication and permanent forms like magazines, newspapers and broadcasting. They do not have to prove they have suffered losses from the results of the publication.
Slander:
Slander is word of mouth communication, so a journalist may slate another individual by just talking about them in a third party, this does not need proof unless its a criminal action or said individual is being attacked on the basis of their profession
Copy Right Laws:
Copyright entails that you can not copy someone's work and pass it off as your own for free or sell it as your own and produce profit. If a piece of literature or any branded/non-branded companies etc have a 'c' symbol it will indicate that it is copy righted and therefore cannot be copied, if such boundaries where to be obscured there will be prosecution and most probable that a law suit wagered.
Data Protection Act:
The data protection act states that no one can use your personal information like your phone number, email, address, bank details etc. such as business and websites that you have given it to, these companies cannot pass your details on to third parties and this is because all the third parties are normally advertisers which will phone you and state your information and leave you wondering where they got it from.
