note: I wrote this for my Advanced College
Writing class (Comm 10), senior year, first semester. The original title
was Analytical Paper on the Cybercrime Law.
The controversial Cybercrime Law, passed on
September 12, 2012, then suspended less than a month later, covers a variety of
crimes involving the internet and other communication
technologies. Among the punishable offenses it mentions are hacking,
spamming, online libel, cyber-squatting, cybersex, child pornography,
unsolicited commercial communication, and computer-related fraud, forgery, and
identity theft.
