Investigation - Digital Law

 How does your topic impact your future digital footprint? 
Digital law can affect your digital footprint because if you get put in jail for illegal downloading it'll go on your public record which anyone can look up, like an employer or friend.

Online people can :


  • Have their identity stolen (when you buy things online with your information, this can happen)( spoofed/ ip spoofing This usually happened when an ad tries to get you're information by tricking you)
  • Download illegal things (Downloading free music is usually illegal)
  • Get hacked (This happens when a hacker gets into your computer and messes with your information)
Illegal Downloading:
  • -In the decade since peer-to-peer (p2p) file-sharing site Napster emerged in 1999, music sales in the U.S. have dropped 47 percent, from $14.6 billion to $7.7 billion.
  •     -From 2004 through 2009 alone, approximately 30 billion songs were illegally downloaded on file-sharing networks.
  •     -NPD reports that only 37 percent of music acquired by U.S. consumers in 2009 was paid for.
  •     -Frontier Economics recently estimated that U.S. Internet users annually consume between $7 and $20 billion worth of digitally pirated recorded music.
  •     -According to the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, the digital theft of music, movies and copyrighted content takes up huge amounts of Internet bandwidth –  24 percent globally, and 17.5 percent in the U.S.
  •     -Digital storage locker downloads constitute 7 percent of all Internet traffic, while 91 percent of the links found on them were for copyrighted material, and 10 percent of those links were to music specifically, according to a 2011 Envisional study.




    Identity Theft:

    • Identity theft is on the rise, affecting almost 10 million victims in 2008 (a 22% increase from 2007)
    • Victims are spending less money out of pocket to correct the damage from ID theft. The mean cost per victim is $500, and most victims pay nothing due to zero-liability fraud protection programs offered by their financial institutions.
    • 71% of fraud happens within a week of stealing a victim’s personal data.


    Hacking:
    • A recent PBS special revealed that the Pentagon receives over six million hacking and security threats a day
    • Not surprisingly, computer hacking can be incredibly lucrative. In fact, the monetary damage reported to the IC3 for the most recent year was a staggering $559.7 million dollars. If you divide that amount by the number of complaints (336,655), the average computer hacking incident ends up costing its victim over $1,600.
