Injuries caused by computer systems: who is liable?
Article Abstract:
Computers are becoming essential in industry and many liability claims and contract disputes have arisen, but courts have yet to establish a standard method to settle cases involving information and computer technology. Such cases can be tried under many different liability theories including breach of contract, strict product liability, negligence, breach of express or implied warranty or professional malpractice. However, whether information technology and systems are products or services has yet to be determined, which causes many different rulings on legal liability.

The Politics of Computer Crime
Article Abstract:
Various bills have been introduced to enact federal computer crime legislation. None of the introduced bills have passed. The criminal justice apparatus is not prepared to handle computer crime. Some individual states have their own computer crime legislation. Opponents of federal crime legislation oppose withdrawing attention from street crime to white collar crime. The private sector is responsible to insure security for computer abuse. Otherwise, government will institute regulations within the private sector.
