Syllabus for Cyber Crime and Techno-Torts - LLM129

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.
