Hackers are humans too.

I started reading ‘Hacked: A radical approach to hacker culture and crime’ the other day, and the anthropologist in me was hooked. Through a vibrant ethnographic exploration, Kevin F. Steinmetz has managed to draw out the motivation, skill and humanity behind the ‘craft’ of hacking. Yes. Craft. 

And so, I decided that the law on computer misuse deserved a second look.

We’re taught as law students to view hacking as criminal, to put it in a box of ‘unauthorised’ ‘antisocial’ behaviour and leave the judges to impose their retributive justice. However, the law is an absolute struggle fest. I’m not just talking about prosecution rates, I’m talking about substantive oversights and regulatory undersights (is that a word?). Consider R v Cuthbert in which the defendant, wanting to ensure his charitable donation was actually going to the right people, fell afoul of s.1 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990 when he tested the website’s security. Or Bignell, in which the court determined that unauthorised access was completely distinct from that of unauthorised purpose; an arguably nonsensical decision.

We therefore turn, as one must, to the challenge of regulating the Internet and the following two policy approaches that demonstrate how our current approach to low-level cybercrime can be altered.

Kevin Steinmetz contends that by demystifying the social construction of hacking, legislators would be better equipped to develop an effective regulatory response. In his words: ‘hacking is an intrinsically human social and cultural phenomenon’ (216), which has been criminalised by a capitalist society. This approach illustrates what was effectively missing from early cyber-legislation, focused mainly on emulating the law of trespass and preventing access to computer networks. By developing a cultural understanding of technologically skilled consumers, distinct from that of dangerous criminals, the Cuthbert case would have had a very different outcome.

Furthermore, cultural and practical understandings of computer culture have already proved useful for software developers, who now benefit from exceptions under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

Stefan Fafinski suggests that domestic criminal law is inappropriate on its own to control computer misuse. In particular, Fafinski argues that theoretical understandings of criminal law fail to provide a justification for its wide application in the area of computer misuse. Instead, he advocates for a ‘constellation of control’ consisting of global extra-legal solutions. I find Fafinski’s proposal particularly interesting as he suggests that in order to effectively moderate this form cybercrime, regulative responses must attempt to mirror the digital architecture of the internet. More specifically, regulation must employ flexible, extra jurisdictional solutions on both state and individual levels in order to be effective.

In sum, the law of computer misuse has suffered a particularly turbulent history. Its critics have sighted lack of solid theoretical basis, of cultural sensitivity and a one-track regulatory response as the cause. However, there is hope. With many parts of internet law, it takes a Lessig-like recognition of competing influences in order to make this work.

Guys we did it!!! 🍕🍕🌵I am so beyond thrilled and excited and grateful and just endless OMG-ing. It really is more about the show of support and enthusiasm I feel from you guys that is making this such an awesome experience 🐰💛💛💛 Thank you so, so much. We’re well on our way to the FIFTH stretch goal now (I prepped this map pre-launch to slowly update, but it’s already almost obsolete😱). We want to start planning for fun additional stretch goals! Again all these things enhance your existing pledge for free. What are some stretch goals you’d be excited about? We’re thinking about things like a video tutorial, a keychain, a little coloring book, sprite sticky notes, etc. lmk! Also just a quick reminder today is the last day to get Early Explorer status :) thanks and talk soon!! 🚀✨🎉 #gifsfordays

Marketing, Communications & Volunteering for Preston’s 5K

On Saturday, April 2, it rained all day.

But nothing could deter the nearly 400 runners who came to run for Preston’s Playground, my social media marketing class’ nonprofit. 

While it was my first time at a 5K (I’m not exactly the “running” type. Or jogging type. I speed walk sometimes), it was not my first time covering a large event. I’d brought with me my trusty work camera, Ava, a Canon EOS 7D Mark II, and had a rough plan for what I wanted to do: take photos, lots of them.

Thanks to my 5K inexperience, I wasn’t sure where to go first, but like many other things I do, I wandered around until I bumped into my classmates and we had a pre-race chat. After discussing what we wanted to do and where to go, we broke up and attacked the situation.

I covered our adaptive runners and took hundreds of photos/videos before and during the race, in addition to capturing at least the first 30 or so across the finish line. 

My major challenges were pressing the shutter button fast enough (this is one of the first times I’ve really used the DSLR to capture movement through photos) and trusting my classmates to do their part. We’ve struggled as a class to find our groove; some have more social media skills than others (or are finding it easier to pick up), while some struggle with the overall concept.

In addition, I know some of my classmates are the kind of people who need more direction than I do. I’m perfectly content to take a base assignment and run with it, making sure to ask questions to keep me on the right track. But not everyone can do that. (And that’s OK.)

While I didn’t learn anything new on how to cover a live event, it was another opportunity to challenge myself and push me out of my comfort zone. Even though I’m the one with the camera, I’m terrified I’ve annoying others and bothering them to take their photo. I’m always afraid they’ll say no!

Also, I learned that it’s important to create a plan for coverage of live events, especially if you’re working with other people. Doesn’t matter if they know how to use social media better or worse than you -- creating a plan unifies efforts and gives those who need more direction an outline for action, something to which they can refer back.

Total photo count: 913 Many apologies and thanks again to my classmates who sorted through those 913 for me. 😁 🙏
