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)

Impartiality of judges
I found it a bit extreme to forbid the use of facebook. It is even hypocrite when one knows that judges and practitionners know each other quite well in real life, especially in the US and the UK where solicitors … Continue reading

Swedish piracy case and judge’s impartiality
Justice must be seen as well as be done. A traditional ECHR principle stemming out of a English common law culture of impartiality which Sweden may well have forgotten in this case. A real shame when one thinks of the … Continue reading

Hadopi, right to access a court of first instance and piracy policy
Before it was even adopted by Parliament, the French bill that promoted the three strikes policy in its attempt to fight piracy was doomed. The EU Parliament condemned it (See TechDirt, 6 May 2009) EU Says No To Three Strikes … Continue reading
