Domain Names on the Internet and their Legal Nature
Abstract
In fact, the term internet is just a shortcut to the term International Net - work, which means the World Wide Web, which is really a network of vast numbers of smaller networks that connect distributed computing devices around the world. And if we know that the use of this network has become common in most areas of human activity scientific, economic, commercial and other ... It is known to everyone familiar with the work of the Internet that their use is only through the computers associated with them, which means the existence of millions of these computers Which are connected to each other over this network, and this requires of course that each computer connected to the internet is a symbol of it and distinct from other computers, so that it can be contacted or access it over the network, exactly as the phone number for telephone services or postal address For traditional correspondence. This code is the so-called domain name (or e-mail address), which is different in each computer from the other for easy access and access by other internet users, and these simple words shows what these domain names of importance, and may not We exaggerate if we say that this network becomes technically useless without these names, but the importance of domain names has exceeded this purely technical task to have economic, commercial and legal dimensions, especially in commercial establishments, and will appear during this research
