| Spain. The Information Society Services and E-Commerce Law (LSSICE), better known as "Internet Law" has entered into force on 12 October 2002.

The purpose of the LSSICE is to regulate E-Commerce activities, especially the consumers protection in all the transactions and commercial activities that are carried out in Internet.
The rules of this Law will bind the Information society Services Providers (ISPs) established in Spain, as well as ISPs which are not based in Spain but which commercialise services and goods in Spain's market. This "Internet Law" has been promulgated with the intention of preventing Spanish companies from registring their websites in countries with less rigorous legal dispositions.
However, the entry into force of the LSSICE has raised criticism, the Spanish Internet users Association (Internautas Association or IA) is dissenting with certain rules, especially the content of Article 12, asking for the elaboration of its corresponding regulation rules.
Notwithstanding, in order to spread the LSSICE rules, as well as to remove potential doubts of users and ISPs, the IA has created a easy guide explaining the peculiarities of the law. This guide is available on the IA's Web site.
