Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the purchase of data, services, software, etc. from the cloud. Cloud computing is popular because it is flexible. You can access the data with multiple computers and you do not have to save the data on your own hard drive.

From a legal perspective, working in the cloud raises a number of questions, such as;

  • Who is entitled to the data in the cloud?
  • Who is liable for illegal data in the cloud?
  • How should the cloud services deal with data (privacy)?, and
  • Can a claim be made if the service is temporarily unavailable?
