South Africa - Computer Misuse Act, Proposed.Added by Papergrl
Description:
In 1997 a Commission was started to investigate computer-related crime in South Africa (SA). The Commission released a very exciting proposal, called Discussion Paper 99, which if adopted will change the way the SA law system deals with computer misuse. This paper looks at this proposed act as well as its application in today's computer environment. *imprisonment for a period not exceeding 5 years. *imprisonment for a period not exceeding 10 years. These are the promising proposed penalties of Discussion Paper 99 for different computer offences of a country that seems to be taking a stand on computer crimes in their different forms. With this type of proposed legislation and penalties one feels a lot more confident about technology performing critical functions in the different spheres of human life such as commerce, banking, health and government services.
