    Study Notes

    Computer Forensics and Cyber Crime: Applying the First Amendment

    • Protections against censorship of text and images, including those on computers, exist due to the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech.
    • These protections create challenges for courts, as interpretations of First Amendment protection vary.
    • Technology-specific criminal laws sometimes use vague descriptions of prohibited content, which could encompass emerging technologies' delivery methods.

    Obscenity in General

    • Defining obscenity is difficult. People can recognize it when they see it, but a precise definition is elusive.
    • Community standards play a role, but vary significantly.
    • The global nature of the Internet and virtual images complicates obscenity determinations, differing from real-world perceptions.

    Traditional Notions of Decency

    • Indecent speech, even if not obscene, may not be televised or broadcast during hours when children are likely to be in the audience. This can limit the free expression afforded by the First Amendment in certain circumstances.
    • Telephone communications and cable TV have stronger First Amendment protections, as they don't often include captive audiences like broadcast media. This is because the audience is not passively receptive to such communications.
    • Courts acknowledge the need to protect children, but broad censorship of speech is not permissible.

    Emerging Statutes and Child Obscenity

    • The Communications Decency Act (CDA) (1996) attempted to regulate the internet. It aimed to address the previously unregulated online frontier by criminalizing harassment, stalking, and offensive material directed toward minors online.
    • The CDA also targeted materials considered obscene.

    Traditional Attempts to Criminalize Child Pornography

    • The Protection of Children Against Sexual Exploitation Act (1977) lacked a requirement for demonstrating the perpetrator knew the victim's age, resulting in a ruling of unconstitutionality.

    Technology-Specific Legislation - Contention in the Courts

    • The question of whether virtual child pornography increases child molesters' dangerousness was examined and refuted in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition.
    • This case served to overturn certain technologies-specific legislation regarding child pornography.

    Internet Gambling Regulations

    • The Old Wire Act of 1961 was insufficient to manage the growth of online sports betting and bookmaking.
    • The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) in 2006 addressed this by regulating online gambling's payment systems.

    International Cooperation & WTO

    • There's a lack of international cooperation regarding Internet gambling laws, and this impacts global enforcement efforts. The WTO plays a role in these discussions.

    Future Issues and Conclusions

    • A tension exists between protecting the free flow of information and protecting children from harmful material.
    • Legal issues persist surrounding the definition of protected material delivered using emerging technologies. This includes technologically-generated (or altered) images & their potential impact.
