eCommerce Legal Forum Series

About eCommerce Legal Forum Series

The advent of the Internet and the New Economy pose unique policy and legal questions. Undoubtedly, existing laws were enacted with real world situations in mind. How could Congress have anticipated e-mail, mailing lists, USENET, or for that matter, the World Wide Web? The contemplative and painstaking work of legislators cannot keep pace with the development of new technology. Hence, as technology creates new space for human interaction, existing laws are oftentimes stretched to fit new-fangled problems. Sometimes, they fail altogether.

The eCommerce Legal Forum Series is designed to provide up-to-date legal and technical information to identify the issues facing the New Economy. It aims to enhance understanding and provide enlightenment on those issues insofar as they relate to the Philippine situation. The Forum Series strives to EQUIP its participants with the requisite knowledge and expertise needed to succeed in the New Economy.
