Data Protection Act
'''Please help, if you can in [[wiktionary:Appendix:Types_of_companies|translation work]] of these types of companies'''
The Data Protection Act came into action in 1984, which made it illegal for businesses to pass on information on their customers as this could be used for illegal purposes.
The Data Protection Act covers information when it is gathered, stored, processed and disclosed. It also only shows the companies the knowledge they need to know about you.
Information like address details are shown for something like membership details. This information couldn't be given out to other companies, but could be kept in the records for future registration if it was agreed by the customer.


Computer Misuse Act
==[[Public Limited Liability Company]] or [[PLC]]==
The Computer Misuse Act came into action in 1990 enforcing the right to have data remain safe and free from attack from external users.
(also [[Inc]] in US_en)
Ways of breaking the Act are by gaining unauthorised access to computer material, Unauthorised access with intent to commit or facilitate commission of further offences and Unauthorised modification of remote data.
*Publicly tradeable shares
In basic terms this means you are committing an offence if you send or distribute viruses, remote attacking with Trojan horses or steal personal information through the use of key loggers.
*The owners are _not_ liable for legal actions and debts the company may face
*Managed by a [[CEO]] elected by a [[Board of Directors]] (Board) which in turn is elected by the [[share holder]]s in scheduled [[share holder meeting|meetings]].  
*Extra share holder meetings can usually be called up if enough share holders deem it necessary for some reason
*Usually listed in one or many [[w:Stock exchange]]s
*Rules of stock exchanges define some minimums to capital, cash flow and market value for PLCs to be viable for trading


Copyright Designs and Patents Act
==[[Limited Liability Company]] or [[LLC]]==
The Copyright Act protects all software (Designs) and patents (hardware.) This makes it illegal to copy software and use hardware patents, without the permissions from the creator.
(also [[LTD]] in UK_en and [[Inc]] in US-en)
Copying software is relatively easy and many people break this law, but few are found out. You are allowed to make 1 personal backup in case your copy of the software gets damaged or just doesn't work.
*Non-publicly tradeable shares
Films which are first released in cinemas are about 6 months earlier than DVD releases so people try to record these from the cinema. Due to this law, it is illegal, and now shows a warning at the beginning of each film. Copyrighting isn't all computerised as you can copy books which are copyrighted and names which are copyrighted.
*The owners are _not_ liable for legal actions and debts  the company may face
*Managed by a [[CEO]] elected by a [[Board of Directors]] (Board) which in turn is elected by the [[share holder]]s in scheduled [[share holder meeting|meetings]].  
*Extra share holder meetings can usually be called up if enough share holders deem it necessary for some reason


Health and Safety Act
==[[Genral Partnership]]==
The Health and Safety Act makes the flaws in offices and areas of computer use an offence if they do not reach a certain standard.
*Formed by two or more persons
If there are trailing cables then it must be notified to everyone in that workplace as they then are warned and any damage done to themselves is their fault.
*The owners are all liable for legal actions and debts the company may face  _personally_


Report On Legislation
==[[Limited Partnership]]==
*Like a General Partnership exept for the fact that there is/are so called '''silent partners''' who just invest capital into the business and are not liable for legal actions and debts the company may face


Data Protection Act
==[[Sole Trader]]==
The Data Protection Act came into action in 1984, which made it illegal for businesses to pass on information on their customers as this could be used for illegal purposes.
*A sole trader is liable for legal actions and debts personally

Information like address details are shown for something like membership details. This information couldn't be given out to other companies, but could be kept in the records for future registration if it was agreed by the customer.


Computer Misuse Act
I think these last ones are not so commonplace
The Computer Misuse Act came into action in 1990 enforcing the right to have data remain safe and free from attack from external users.
Ways of breaking the Act are by gaining unauthorised access to computer material, Unauthorised access with intent to commit or facilitate commission of further offences and Unauthorised modification of remote data.
In basic terms this means you are committing an offence if you send or distribute viruses, remote attacking with Trojan horses or steal personal information through the use of key loggers.


Copyright Designs and Patents Act
==[[Co-operative]]==
The Copyright Act protects all software (Designs) and patents (hardware.) This makes it illegal to copy software and use hardware patents, without the permissions from the creator.
There are two kinds of Co-operatives,  
Copying software is relatively easy and many people break this law, but few are found out. You are allowed to make 1 personal backup in case your copy of the software gets damaged or just doesn't work.
#those owned collectively by the customers
Films which are first released in cinemas are about 6 months earlier than DVD releases so people try to record these from the cinema. Due to this law, it is illegal, and now shows a warning at the beginning of each film. Copyrighting isn't all computerised as you can copy books which are copyrighted and names which are copyrighted.
#those owned and managed collectively by the Workforce


Health and Safety Act
==[[Limited Liability Partnership]]== (In UK at least, very new)
The Health and Safety Act makes the flaws in offices and areas of computer use an offence if they do not reach a certain standard.
*You'll have to see the UK law books about this one
If there are trailing cables then it must be notified to everyone in that workplace as they then are warned and any damage done to themselves is their fault.

Data Protection Act
The Data Protection Act came into action in 1984, which made it illegal for businesses to pass on information on their customers as this could be used for illegal purposes.
The Data Protection Act covers information when it is gathered, stored, processed and disclosed. It also only shows the companies the knowledge they need to know about you.
Information like address details are shown for something like membership details. This information couldn't be given out to other companies, but could be kept in the records for future registration if it was agreed by the customer.
 
Computer Misuse Act
The Computer Misuse Act came into action in 1990 enforcing the right to have data remain safe and free from attack from external users.
Ways of breaking the Act are by gaining unauthorised access to computer material, Unauthorised access with intent to commit or facilitate commission of further offences and Unauthorised modification of remote data.
In basic terms this means you are committing an offence if you send or distribute viruses, remote attacking with Trojan horses or steal personal information through the use of key loggers.
 
Copyright Designs and Patents Act
The Copyright Act protects all software (Designs) and patents (hardware.) This makes it illegal to copy software and use hardware patents, without the permissions from the creator.
Copying software is relatively easy and many people break this law, but few are found out. You are allowed to make 1 personal backup in case your copy of the software gets damaged or just doesn't work.
Films which are first released in cinemas are about 6 months earlier than DVD releases so people try to record these from the cinema. Due to this law, it is illegal, and now shows a warning at the beginning of each film. Copyrighting isn't all computerised as you can copy books which are copyrighted and names which are copyrighted.
