The Greenwood formulaic considers four questions:1. Is cybercrime serious or exaggerated?There is consideration of ID theft and music piracy. As with other fears it is difficult to separate real threats from hyperbole from those that tend to profit.2. How cybercriminals use the media.Predators and domestic abusers use personal information to exploit children incite and take advantage of flash mobs3. Is Internet activism cybercrime? Is revealing sensitive documents a threat or useful to the public?4. What laws best prevent cybercrime?The authors suggest rules to slow down Internet so as to stop on-line piracy. Internet service providers should be held liable for problems. Some writers say that WikiLeaks can be considered scientific journalism while others consider it a threat to national security.
