G-8 OFFICIALS CONSIDER TREATY FOR CYBERCRIME LAWS Crime on the Internet is flourishing in part because several countries, including Belgium and Spain, have weak laws addressing online crime, according to legal experts at the Group of Eight conference on cybercrime, held in Paris this week. U.K. and U.S. law enforcement groups are also hamstrung by laws that allow cybercriminals to escape detection and capture. The Council of Europe has proposed a treaty to combat cybercrime. The treaty includes language that could require ISPs to preserve consumer data for upwards of 40 days, a concept that many industry groups find upsetting. The data requirement, and others called for by the treaty, "run contrary to legal protections and would result in the stifling of Internet growth," said the Internet Alliance, a prominent industry group.
