Society has only recently addressed the problems of crimes made possible by the computer revolution.
One problem involves the stealing of valuable information from other persons’ computers. Recall that larceny is “the wrongful taking of the property of others”. This traditional definition of the crime made it difficult to prosecute those who steal computer data for two reasons. First, many courts concluded that there was not a “taking” if an intruder merely copied the information in the computer. Second, even if an intruder copied and erased computer information, some courts concluded that there was no taking of “personal property” but only the loss of electrical impulses, which no one really owns.
