ケンタッキー州(USA)の「1984年改正刑法」

(仮訳)

(1998/11/24改訂版)

翻訳:夏井高人


これは,アメリカ合衆国ケンタッキー州の刑法典(Kentucky Revised Statutes : title XL - Crimes and Punishments)のうち,コンピュータ犯罪に関連する部分(Unlawful Access to a Computer)の仮訳です。誤訳もあるかもしれません。ご注意ください。

定義規定で「知的財産 intellectual property」という用語が出てきますが,これは,著作権とか特許権などを指す「知的財産権 intellectual property」とは異なる意味で,この法律限りの用法として用いられており,コンピュータに関連する資産というような意味で定義されています。

なお,この法律のオリジナル・テキストは,
