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)
