Law = A system to obey
Law is exists for people to protect copyright, health and safety. First, it is about copyright. You must be furious if someone steals your idea or artworks and use it as if he or she owes it. To protect your own right legally, government prohibits people from overusing others’ data except when the owner allows people to use his or hers belongings.
If you are sick of asking for approval or looking for free download websites, you can make a second choice. Create everything what you need by yourself. Then there are no obstacles in front of you. The copyright totally belongs to you. It is an exclusive right to use for commercial purpose, copy or do whatever you want. Law will protect your copyright for 50 years after your death. Then your kin inherit your copyright and receive royalties.
Legal constraints = Legal restrictions
It is prohibited to use other companies’ software or any kind of belongings unless you have a licence. If you copy or sell them for private profit without permission, you are caught, pay a huge fine and might go jail.
Regulation = A certain order
Regulation is a common appointment to be kept among people. In sports arena, referees give athletes a penalty or warning when they break rules. For example, any fights are allowed to players in playground or stadium during a match. It is not a crime though we have to follow it. Moreover, the many organizations require us to meet regulations which they serve.

Also there is a law which restrict people whose age is under 16 cannot access online game from midnight to six in the next morning. If young teens want to play game until night, their parents ought to sign up for a ‘Selective Shut Down System.

In technical ways, standards mean formal requirements or guidelines. It is necessary to judge a level of every kind of things. De facto standards are used in companies to distinguish a quality of products. Also, there are international norm such as ISO, W3c and ANSI. For ISO, its standards are used in common every time, everywhere. Without standards, the world will collapse due to disorderliness.
