Current Events 3

Research computer crime laws in your state.  (If your state does not have computer crime laws specific to cyber-crimes, look at the laws in a neighboring state). Briefly describe the law(s) and the corresponding penalties/fines.  Then, find a current or recent court case involving computer or Internet crime illustrating the computer crime law you researched. 

Summarize the case and judge for yourself if there really was a crime committed or not.  Explain your reasoning based on the laws you researched for your state.  Your essay should be a minimum of 500 words.

Be sure your paper is in APA style and all sources are properly cited and referenced.
