Suggested solutions to conflict of laws in internet networks.

Abstract

The interaction of users on the Internet at any time - and in any place - in accessing digital content, may result in the issue of conflict of laws, if the narrow application of the rules of private international law in the Internet, this means the concurrent jurisdiction of the laws of all countries connected to the Internet, which law is applied? Especially since the Internet does not recognize geographical boundaries. This calls into question the extent to which these rules can be modified to suit the Internet, and here the importance of concerted international efforts through the conclusion of agreements to develop future solutions appears. To face the challenges of the Internet, and that all this path is long and arduous, in addition to the different cultural concepts between countries that may impose the issue of giving up national sovereignty. He started thinking about finding solutions from the network itself. Proceeding from the foregoing, and in order to find legal solutions, we found it appropriate to classify the solutions into two groups. The first is the possibility of adapting the traditional rules of conflict of laws, and the second is the possibility of self-regulation of the Internet.
