Services according to legal fields
IT law and media law are areas of law that are not regulated in a separate law, but are part of various areas of law and related case law. In the case of private individuals, the following areas of law are frequently affected:
Data protection law
The task of data protection law is to protect personal data. This is intended to strengthen the informational self-determination of the individual as part of the right of personality.
Art copyright
When it comes to photos and likenesses, especially of people, the few provisions of the Art Copyright Act contain the guidelines for their permissible use on the Internet and other media.
Personal right
The right of personality serves to protect the personality and freedom of each individual person, and the protection of personal data is also covered by it.
Copyright
Copyright regulates all rights and the economic use of a created work in connection with the Internet and other media.
Criminal Law
On the Internet and other media, there are violations of rights that are also considered criminal acts and are punishable by law.
