Copyright, Designs and Patents Act (1988) Copyright is one of the main types of intellectual property - others include designs, patents and trademarks. Intellectual property allows a person to own things they create in the same way as something physical can be owned. It is the right to prevent others copying or reproducing someone's work.

Computer Misuse Act (1990) The Computer Misuse Act is designed to protect computer users against wilful attacks and theft of information. Offences under the act include hacking, unauthorised access to computer systems and purposefully spreading malicious and damaging software (malware), such as viruses.

Data Protection Act (1998) (8 Main Principles) The Data Protection Act controls how your personal information is used by organisations, businesses or the government. Everyone responsible for using data has to follow strict rules called ‘data protection principles’. They have to make sure information is:  used fairly and lawfully.- so don’t display something without permition or aginst the law  used for limited, specifically stated purposes.  used in a way that is adequate, relevant and not excessive.  accurate.  kept for no longer than is absolutely necessary.  handled according to people's data protection rights.  kept safe and secure.  not transferred outside the European Economic Area without adequate protection

Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (2000)  R.I.P.A (Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act) is a law enacted in the United Kingdom in 2000 to govern the interception and use of electronic communications.
