What is Computer Crime Law?
- Computer crime (or cybercrime) law deals with the
- broad range of criminal offenses committed using a
- computer or similar electronic device. Nearly all of
- these crimes are perpetrated online. The internet
- provides a degree of anonymity to offenders, as well
- as potential access to personal, business, and
- government data.
- Many computer crimes are committed as a means
- of stealing money or valuable information, although
- financial gain is not always the objective. In fact,
- some of the most notorious incidents of computer
- crime involve hackers seeking to overcome
- government or corporate cyber security measures.
- Hacking is one of the most well-known types of
- computer crime. In this context, the term refers to the
- unauthorized access of another’s computer
- system. These intrusions are often conducted in
- order to launch malicious programs known as viruses,
- worms, and Trojan Horses that can shut down or
- destroy an entire computer network. Hacking is also
- carried out as a way to take credit card numbers,
- internet passwords, and other personal information.
- By accessing commercial databases, hackers are able
- to steal these types of items from millions of internet
- users all at once.
- Internet piracy is another common offense. Piracy
- involves the dissemination of copyrighted material
- without permission of the owner. Beginning in the
- early 1990s, music sharing websites became
- extremely popular, many of them operating in
- violation of the law. Movies, video games, e-books,
- and software are now pirated over the internet as
- well. Estimates by the entertainment industry
- put the annual cost of internet piracy in the
- billions of dollars, although there is evidence
- the scope of the economic impact has been
- overstated by the industry in an effort to
- persuade the Government to pass further
- regulations.
