Investigating and Prosecuting Cyber Crime: Forensic Dependencies and Barriers to Justice Cameron S. D. Brown1 Australian National University, Australia Abstract The primary goal of this paper is to raise awareness regarding legal loopholes and enabling technologies, which facilitate acts of cyber crime. In perusing these avenues of inquiry, the author seeks to identify systemic impediments which obstruct police investigations, prosecutions, and digital forensics interrogations. Existing academic research on this topic has tended to highlight theoretical perspectives when attempting to explain technology aided crime, rather than presenting practical insights from those actually tasked with working cyber crime cases. The author offers a grounded, pragmatic approach based on the in-depth experience gained serving with police task-forces, government agencies, private sector, and international organizations. The secondary objective of this research encourages policy makers to reevaluate strategies for combating the ubiquitous and evolving threat posed by cyber- criminality. Research in this paper has been guided by the firsthand global accounts (via the author’s core involvement in the preparation of the Comprehensive Study on Cybercrime (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2013) and is keenly focused on core issues of concern, as voiced by the international community. -

JICLT Journal of International Commercial Law and Technology Vol. 7, Issue 1 (2012) COPYRIGHT, CRIME AND COMPUTERS: NEW LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORKS FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ENFORCEMENT Gregor Urbas Australian National University Canberra, Australia [email protected] Abstract: This paper considers intellectual property rights (IPR) enforcement from the perspective of criminal law, and in particular, drawing on recent Australian legislative reforms concerning copyright, cybercrime, covert investigations, mutual assistance and extradition, prosecution and sentencing options, as well as proceeds of crime recovery. The complex interaction of these laws suggests that the field of IPR enforcement offers numerous investigative, prosecutorial and judicial options beyond those traditionally associated with copyright infringement. Cases discussed include several prosecutions of file-sharing website operators, and the extradition from Australia of a suspect in an international online piracy group prosecution led by the United States Department of Justice. 1. Introduction Intellectual property (IPR) enforcement has been transformed in the past ten to fifteen years by a combination of technological, societal and legal developments. Most significantly, the introduction and widespread adoption of the Internet as a basis for communication and dissemination of information, entertainment and products has resulted in a global community of file-sharers, including those who deliberately or recklessly trade in material that infringes copyright or other -
