Cyber Glossary
Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.
Domain Name Poaching
the registration of a popular, clever, or a even a trade name with the intent to sell it in the future. For example, one might register the domain www.pepsi.com in anticipation of selling that domain name to Pepsi. Some feel the days of actually being able to register a good .com domain have gone by the wayside with the ever-increasing popularity of the World Wide Web.
