Fri, 17 Feb 2006, 17:46 The judge in Penal Court number 3 in Málaga has found two people not guilty of fraud, despite the court recognising that the two purchased a DVD player on the Internet using a third partys VISA card without the cardholders authorisation. The reason given by the magistrate for their release is that there had not been any computer manipulation or sufficient deceit. It seems that legally while falsifying a credit card is considered as a crime equal to making counterfeit money, the mere use of a third partys credit card without their [consnet] can only be considered as a swindle. The problem arises because the current penal code in Spain does not acknowledge the existence of e-commerce on the Internet. © typicallyspanish.com _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
