Cybercrimes are a problem, yet they are not even among the top ten problems which face the typical individual. Except for the weakness of certain computers running Windows, the average individual never experiences a significant cybercrime problem. This article is my opinion and is not, legal advice. I am a judgment broker, and not a lawyer. If you ever need a strategy to use or legal advice, you should contact an attorney. As per a past report from the United States Department of Justice, the most commonly (federally) charged cases which involve cybercrime include: 17 U.S.C. Section 506 (a) & 18 U.S.C. Section 2319: Unauthorized Recording of a Motion Picture (Camcording). 17 U.S.C. Section 1201 (a)(1)(A), 1204(a): Commercial Theft of Trade Secrets. 18 U.S.C. Chapter 113 - Stolen Property. 18 U.S.C. Section 1030 (a)(2), (a)(4), (a)(5): Interstate Transportation, Sale or Receipt of Stolen Property. 18 U.S.C. Section 1341, 1343: Prohibition on Devices to Intercept Communications. 18 U.S.C. Section 1831: Unauthorized Access of a Computer. 18 U.S.C. Section 1832: Foreign Economic Espionage. 18 U.S.C. Section 2314, 2315: Mail and Wire Fraud Statutes. 18 U.S.C. Section 2318: Trafficking in Recordings of Live Musical Performances (Bootlegging). 18 U.S.C. Section 2319 A: Digital Millennium Copyright Act (Anti-Circumvention). The DMCA is a United States copyright law which implements treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). It criminalizes production and distribution of devices, services, or technology, which circumvent things (Digital Rights Management or DRM) that control access to copyrighted works. It also criminalizes circumventing an access control, even when there is no actual infringement of a copyright. In addition, the DMCA raised the penalties for copyright infringement on the Internet. The law was passed October 12, 1998, and then just weeks later, Title 17 of the United States Code got amended to extend the reach of copyright laws, while limiting the liability for the providers of online services for copyright infringement by their customers. 18 U.S.C. Section 2319 B: Trafficking in Illicit Labels or Counterfeit Labels, Documentation, or Packaging for Copyrighted Works. 18 U.S.C. Section 2320 (a): Trafficking in Service Marks, Counterfeit Trademarks, Criminal Copyright Infringement (Misdemeanor & Felony). 18 U.S.C. Section 2512: Unauthorized Reception of Cable Service. 47 U.S.C. Section 553: Trafficking in Satellite Decryption Devices. 47 U.S.C. Section 605: Unauthorized publication or use of communications. How accurate are cyber crime statistics? One problem can be when laws are written like hammers, a lot of the world looks like a nail. Like many problems, cybercrimes and the damage from them, are sometimes severely exaggerated and distorted. Placing every Windows computer behind a cheap router would go far in helping general internet security. The majority of people with computers which are being compromised, don't even know about it, so those crimes and problems do not get reported, whereas a downloaded MP3 file is a crime which is occasionally reported and prosecuted. Certain cybercrimes are wildly under-reported, and some are wildly over-reported. This can mean that most news and statistics one cyber crime should be taken lightly. Why not keep your computer behind a router and keep your computer updated, and either buy a Macintosh, and/or install quality anti-virus and firewall software? http://www.JudgmentBuy.com - Judgment Recovery.
