The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the system further comprises a synchronizer for identifying existence of updated data on the user device, which may be in the form of a changed or overwritten file or directory, and if desired by the user device, copying the updated data on to the library server.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11, wherein if updated data is copied on to the library server, the system is configured to reflect the updated data as the published data.

13. The system as claimed in claim 12, wherein if updated data is copied on to the library server, the system is further configured to intimate the same to the subscribers of the publication group, if they have opted to receive the same and optionally transmit a copy of the updated data to the subscriber.

14. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the system is configured to allow the user device to withdraw of published data from the internet.

15. A method for publishing data with the user'"'"'s consent and sharing the rest of the world via internet, said method comprising the steps of:
