ZAMAN HAMID HADI et al. · Russian Law Journal · 2023
Electronic piracy is considered one of the electronic crimes sweeping our world today, and it is a crime of a material nature, which is represented in every illegal act or behavior related to any destination or in any way with computers and computer networks, that causes the victim to suffer a loss, and the perpetrator obtains or is able to obtain Any gain. These crimes often aim at stealing information in computer devices, or aim indirectly at the persons and parties concerned with that information. Crime of this kind has several names, including computer and Internet crimes, high-tech crimes, cybercrime, and white-collar crimes. Attacks are often against moral entities related to their strategic value, such as information stores, and this is the most important characteristic that distinguishes cybercrimes from other crimes. It relates to moral entities with material value or purely moral value or both together, and this is its basis without which it is not possible to imagine the existence of an electronic crime, and if it were not for this basis, it would be one of the ordinary crimes that are subject to the criminal law.
