Welcome to Cybercrime Laws!
This blog is part of my cybercrime module taught currently at the University of Essex (UK). I see it as a database with which I, and others, can work.
The updates are not daily, partly because of lack of time, partly because it is easier to group similar subjects in one post after a week or so. RSS feeds (and sharing) are available.
The original blog was on Blogger (blogspot.com), but for maintenance purposes, transfer to Wordpress became necessary. The original blog is still up and running (I just import/export posts)

this sounds mad. I’ll have to investigate what French reviews report “French Court Forcing Google To Remove Word ‘Scam’ From Google Suggest” (TechDirt, 14 January 2010)

Copyrights bill in the UK
Sorry but don’t have time right now to analyse: “Lord Lucas Proposes That Copyright Holders Detail Actual Damages From Infringement Under Mandelson Bill” (TechDirt, 7 january 2010) “UK Ministers ‘Concede’ Some Ridiculous Points in Digital Economy Bill In Attempt To … Continue reading

Use of social networking
The tweet was silly, but the reaction to it is no better. Everything is out of proportion on both sides. Maybe we should set a course for both on how to use Twitter and social networking? “UK Man Arrested And … Continue reading
Censorship: Google/China and others
Obviously, the headlines for the past 10 days are aboug Google’s declaration and movement of withdrawal from China, but as pointed out, well, if Google withdraws from China, why not other countries like India, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Russia…? “Google Considers … Continue reading
New report in France to reflect on digital economy
Well, I have just scrolled through the report and the least we can say is that the committee did not really engage with the issues at a deep level. The report is disappointing:– for a summary in English, “France’s Latest … Continue reading
Privacy, piracy, copyrights and censorship
The theme of the week seems to turn around protecting privacy. “Hacking Surpassing Human Error For Data Breaches?” (TechDirt, 19 January 2010). For the author, the answer is actually positive: hacking is a major threat, more that insiders leaking data. … Continue reading
View of the blog via Wordle
I use Wordle (http://www.wordle.net/create) to copy text from the blog (minus my name and the main sources TechDirt, ZDnet.co.uk as it is irrelevant to what I wanted) in order to get an idea of which words were recurring in the … Continue reading

telegraph and newspapers
The telegraph was feared, like today the internet is. But the threat only comes from refusing to embrace the new technology. “How The Telegraph Was Supposed To Kill The Newspaper Business” (TechDirt, 22 December 2009)
