International Journal of Cyber Criminology -Shaheen&Hoff Cyber bullying: Clarifying Legal Boundaries for School Supervision in Cyberspace Shaheen Shariff [1] McGill University, Canada Dianne L. Hoff [2] University of Maine, Orono, USA Abstract Cyber bullying is a psychologically devastating form of social cruelty among adolescents. _______________________________________________________________Keywords: Cyber Bullying; Schools; Legislations; Lord of Flies; Introduction On a seemingly normal Tuesday afternoon, an eighth grade girl walks out of school and steps into her mother’s car, ashen and visibly shaken. Scenes like this are playing out in schools around the world. Cyber bullying is especially insidious because of its anonymous nature. “Where’s the man with the megaphone?’ “I don’t think so.” The parallels between what happens on that island and what is happening today in schools are astounding. Unlike in Golding’s time, today’s young people do not have to go to a remote island to find such a world. I) Bullying: Its Forms and Conditions References
Cyberbully Help NZ leads world in stand against cyber bullies Justice Minister Judith Collins has welcomed the first reading of world-leading legislation to stop cyber bullies in their tracks. The Harmful Digital Communications Bill introduces a range of measures to address damaging online communications and ensure perpetrators are held to account for their actions. “Countries around the world are grappling with the challenges presented by increased communications within the cyber-sphere,” Ms Collins says. “The digital age has made it easier to threaten others, spread destructive rumours and publish invasive photographs online. People, especially young people, are bullied more easily, instantly, and anonymously. “It’s time we stand up against bullies who lurk in the shadows of the internet to harass and humiliate their victims. The proposals in the Bill include: Ms Collins says criminal offences should be seen as a last resort, especially for our young people. The Bill has been referred to the Justice and Electoral Select Committee for consideration.
Understand Online Reputation Mgt In the Whack-a-Mole game of online reputation management, it’s not so much about completely erasing all the bad things that are being said about you on the Internet: it’s about replacing the stuff you don’t want people to see with things that you do want them to notice. The Internet has a memory, and anything of note that happens to anyone is bound to find its way onto sites where everyone can see who you are and what you’ve been doing with yourself. All of it: the good, the bad and especially the really ugly. It could be incidents that at the time, seemed funny or cool, but upon later examination turn out to a source of embarrassment. It could be the indiscretion at that beach party back in ‘05, or something more serious, like a minor drug possession charge when you were a kid. Or maybe your online persona is out of date - not reflecting a mid-life career change, for example. The Reputation Management Process How much better? More Than Glorified SEO? Context Is Key 1. 2. 3.

Internet Piracy Some of the most popular films and music that are created today in studios are available in pirated versions on the Internet today. Internet piracy is not a victimless crime.

Internet Pirates Will Always Win STOPPING online piracy is like playing the world’s largest game of Whac-A-Mole. Hit one, countless others appear. Quickly. And the mallet is heavy and slow. Take as an example YouTube, where the Recording Industry Association of America almost rules with an iron fist, but doesn’t, because of deceptions like the one involving a cat. YouTube, which is owned by Google, offers a free tool to the movie studios and television networks called Content ID. To get around this roadblock, some YouTube users started placing copyrighted videos inside a still photo of a cat that appears to be watching an old JVC television set. Sure, it’s annoying for those who want to watch the video, but it works. Then there are those — possibly tens of millions of users, actually — who engage in peer-to-peer file-sharing on the sites using the BitTorrent protocol. Thus, whacking one big mole created hundreds of smaller ones. The copyright holders believe new laws will stop this type of piracy.
