• UK - What's bugging ministers about phone taps? (BBC)
  Phone tapping is a common weapon in the armoury of detectives and government spies, so it may come as a surprise to learn that evidence from telephone taps cannot be used in court in the UK. This long-standing principle was upheld this week by Home Secretary Charles Clarke. The intelligence community is Mr Clarke's biggest backer on this. It fears that allowing phone tap evidence to be heard in court could reveal its secret operational methods. As it stands, tapes from conventional bugs - not attached to phones - can be used in court. Telephone conversations on an internal network can also be used and so can material where one of the people on the line is an undercover officer. But a taped phone conversation between a suspect and a third party, on a landline or a mobile phone, is inadmissible. It can only be used for intelligence purposes.

Entre las novedades, destaca el aumento de penas de prisión, el castigo no sólo del delito sinó también de la creación, puesta en circulación y tenencia de herramientas para llevarlo a cabo y una especial atención a la propiedad intelectual, ampliando la protección de que gozan los programas de ordenador a libros, música y vídeos. Además, en estos casos, la policía actuará sin denuncia previa.

• ES - La posesión de pornografía infantil se convierte en delito (Delitos informáticos)
  La Ley Orgánica del 25 de noviembre de 2003 introdujo algunas modificaciones al Código Penal con respecto a los delitos de explotación sexual comercial de menores. Por primera vez en España, se contempla el delito de posesión de material pornográfico penalizando con hasta un año de prisión a quien posee material pornográfico en cuya elaboración haya sido utilizado a un menor de 18 años (fotografías, videos, imágenes reales digitalizadas, archivos electrónicos, etc). Se introduce el delito de producción, venta y difusión de pseudo-pornografía, es decir del material pornográfico donde no se haya utilizado directamente a un menor pero que emplee su imagen o voz alterada o modificada. Finalmente, se endurecen las penas hasta cuatro años de prisión para la producción, venta o difusión de pornografía (real) en cuya elaboración haya sido utilizado a un menor de 18 años, y hasta ocho años de prisión si el menor tiene menos de 13 años. Sin embargo, la reforma no penaliza la posesión de pseudo pornografía, no considera la pornografía virtual ni tan siquiera los delitos de apología de la pornografía y la prostitución infantil.
