Illegal activities on the Internet
Description:
The Internet is a medium that offers users many different possibilities. The majority of these possibilities are perfectly legal, but the anonymity of users on the web makes it fairly easy for illegal practices to take place. These happen more often than one would think.
One of the first illegal activities that comes into mind when thinking of the Internet is the sharing of intellectual property. Music, movies and games are shared on a huge scale without the artists or publishers consent.
But these are not the only illegal activities taking place. More of these activities are:
- Spreading child pornography
- Illegal gambling
- Illegal selling of drugs
- Spamming email addresses
- Phishing (misleading users to think they are on another website)
