Lebenslang für *Computer-Verbrechen*?

Lebenslang für *Computer-Verbrechen*?

Das US-Justizministerium drängt auf schnelle Zustimmung zu
seinem geplanten *Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA)*, einem 25-seitigen
Gesetztesantrag, welcher den Behörden die Legitimation zur
allumfassenden Schnüffelei geben soll.

Demnach sollen künftig *Computer-Verbrechen* als terroristische
Akte gelten. Mit lebenslangen Haftstrafen. Unbedingt.

Das kennen wir doch? Wenn es darum geht, die derzeitige
Weltsituation samt den dazugehörigen Individuen "in den Griff zu
bekommen", verstehen sich EU-und US-Behörden glänzend.

Most of the terrorism offenses are violent crimes, or crimes
involving chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons. But the
list also includes the provisions of the Computer Fraud and
Abuse Act that make it illegal to crack a computer for the
purpose of obtaining anything of value, or to deliberately
cause damage. Likewise, launching a malicious program that
harms a system, like a virus, or making an extortionate
threat to damage a computer are included in the definition
of terrorism.

To date no terrorists are known to have violated the Computer
Fraud and Abuse Act. But several recent hacker cases would
have qualified as "Federal terrorism offenses" under the
Justice Department proposal, including the conviction of
Patrick Gregory, a prolific web site defacer who called
himself "MostHateD"; Kevin Mitnick, who plead guilty to
penetrating corporate networks and downloading proprietary
software; Jonathan "Gatsby" Bosanac, who received 18-months
in custody for cracking telephone company computers; and Eric
Burns, the Shoreline, Washington hacker who scrawled "Crystal,
I love you" on a United States Information Agency web site in
1999. The 19-year-old was reportedly trying to impress a classmate
with whom he was infatuated.
