Of those three existing tools (trespass, burglary, and theft), why is “theft” (and theft by “fraud”) the more likely choice to regulate these new offenses in cyberspace (un-authorized access, changing or deleting data, or denying access) (pp. 14-16)? What are the limitations of using “theft” to prevent “computer misuse” in cyberspace? (pp. 16-30).
