AU: Cybercrime wird Gesetz-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- AU: Cybercrime wird Gesetz Wieder einmal wird die australische Regierung ihrem Ruf gerecht, ezessive und überbreite Online-Gesetze einzubringen, schreibt Greg Taylor von Electronic Frontiers Australia. Diesmal sind es die Cybercrime-Entwürfe, die auf euro/amerikanischen Mist gewachsen sind. Armes Australien, das du begannst als europäische Sträflingskolonie. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Greg Taylor <gtaylor@gil.com.au> via cyber-rights- UK@mail.cyber-rights.org Date sent: Sat, 14 Jul 2001 21:47:42 +1000 -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- The Australian government seems intent on maintaining its reputation for implementing excessive and overbroad online laws. Its latest effort is Cybercrime Bill 2001, which implements the substantive law provisions of Articles 2-6 of the CoE Convention, and the search and seizure provisions of Article 19. (The implementation of the more invasive law enforcement provisions of the CoE Convention is also under consideration by a Parliamentary Committee). The resemblance of provisions in the Bill to the CoE Convention is no mere coincidence. The Bill implements section 4.2 of the Model Criminal Code (MCC) which was released in January 2001. The MCC report states that its recommendations are based on the draft CoE Convention (as at December 2000). They've even included the ridiculous "possession of data with intent" provision of Article 6.1.b. A Senate Committee is currently conducting a routine legislative scrutiny inquiry into the Bill. The Committee will no doubt be swamped with supportive submissions from law enforcement agencies. EFA and other groups are doing as much as possible to promote opposition to the Bill. If anyone is in a position to lodge a submission with the inquiry (however brief), this would support our campaign. More info at: Senate Legal and Constitutional Legislation Committee Inquiry into the Provisions of the Cybercrime Bill 2001. http://www.aph.gov.au/senate/committee/legcon_ctte/cybercrimebill01/cybercrime.htm I've included some additional information below. Note particularly the law enforcement provision, which implements CoE Article 19.4 (requiring release of encryption keys or decryption of data, contrary to the privilege of self-incrimination). Greg Taylor Electronic Frontiers Australia www.efa.org.au ---------------------------------------------------- Australian Model Criminal Code. (Refer Chapter 4 - Damage and Computer Offences - Report. January 2001) http://www.law.gov.au/publications/Model_Criminal_Code/index.htm The offences covered (implemented in the Bill as s.477.1 to 478.4 of the Criminal Code Act) are: - Unauthorised access, modification or impairment to commit a serious offence - Unauthorised modification of data to cause impairment - Unauthorised impairment of electronic communications. - Possession of data with intent to commit computer offence (described as "akin to the more familiar offences of 'going equipped for stealing' or possession of an offensive weapon"). - Supply of data with intent to commit a computer offence - Unauthorised access to restricted data. - Unauthorised impairment of data held in a computer disk, credit card, etc. Law Enforcement provision of the Bill (implemented as an amendment to Crimes Act) s.3LA Person with knowledge of a computer or a computer system to assist access etc. (1) The executing officer may apply to a magistrate for an order requiring a specified person to provide any information or assistance that is reasonable and necessary to allow the officer to do one or more of the following: (a) access data held in, or accessible from, a computer that is on warrant premises; (b) copy the data to a data storage device; (c) convert the data into documentary form. (2) The magistrate may grant the order if the magistrate is satisfied that: (a) there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that evidential material is held in, or is accessible from, the computer, and (b) the specified person is: (i) reasonably suspected of having committed the offence stated in the relevant warrant; or (ii) the owner or lessee of the computer; or (iii) an employee of the owner or lessee of the computer; and (c) the specified person has knowledge of: (i) the computer or a computer network of which the computer forms a part; or (ii) measures applied to protect data held in, or accessible from, the computer.
