Cyber
Crime and Techno-Torts: A library patron is attempting
to get information on trade embargos and a popup advertisement
offering adult content appears on the screen. Why do
they do that? Is it free speech or is it pornography?
Obscenity and Speech questions come to the front of peoples
mind when talking of electronic crime. But, computer
crime is much more than the unpleasantness of offensive
advertising. Fraud and intellectual property crimes
cost e-commerce substantial amounts in lost profits.
The common activities of young hackers creating and launching
viruses over e-mail connections pale when compared to the
committed cyber terrorist, or the damage caused when identity
theft results in the lose of your home. How can we
drag these miscreants into the courts to pay for their mis
deeds? Questions about what is the correct method
of gathering and reserving evidence of criminal activity
take the lead only after the alleged criminal is identified.
Students in this course will deal with the concepts of the
nature of computer crime and the att empts of producers
to prevent hacking of their products. The gathering and
preservation of electronic evidence will be covered (not
necessarily in the Enron context).
Students will deal with the liability of Web Site Owners
and ISPs when criminals post to their service.
And finally, the subject of “adult content”
will be covered with special emphasis on the Child Online
Protection Act and other legislative actions.
