    I think if all you are going to do is post a web page about your business, I don't think you need to worry about the ethical, legal, and regulatory issues.

    Please tell us more about your business you own and how it relates to the internet. That may make this question feel less like a homework assignment.

    Hi acohen,

    Here are a few to get you started, plus check out the other threads I have included below:

    Ethics: Since B2B counts on the sharing of mutual information ethics are a must. Accessing unauthorized areas in the trading system should not be allowed, and the privacy of partners should be protected both technically and legally.

    For the most part, proper behavior and ethics of participants are typically set forth in ethical codes developed by trade associations, commercial standard groups add the professions.

    Legal: When are electronic documents admissible evidence in a court of law? What do you do if they are not?

    Time and place can carry different dates for buyers and sellers when they are countries apart. For example, an electronic document signed in China on January 5th may have the date January 4th in New York., which date is legal?

    The use of multiple networks and trading partners makes the documentation of responsibility difficult.

    Regulatory: For the most part, the Internet is unregulated. You do have CAN-SPAM and there are gambling laws and there are laws like the Federal Telecommunications Act and the Computer Decency Act and other laws on child porn, but the Internet is largely left to the free operation of the market. As with ethics, the proper behavior of participants are typically set forth in regulatory codes developed by trade associations, commercial standard groups add the professions.
