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.
Freeware
free software available for downloading from a wide variety of Websites. There are several reasons the software is offered free. Freeware, also sometimes erroneously called shareware, is a limited version of a program that the manufacturer, distributor or author would like people to purchase. Giving users a free taste is designed to get them to buy a more comprehensive version. An-other reason an individual might offer free software on the World Wide Web, or free anything for that matter, is to drive traffic to a particular Website. Online revenues are often generated by site traffic, and giving software away is a popular way of getting visitors. Finally, some people simply want others to experience their creation and are willing to distribute it freely to accomplish that end.
