There have been so many computer crimes happening lately and the federal and state gov'ts needed to do something about it. People got away with so much, and finally the gov't decided to take action by creating laws against hackers and other people who commit crimes using technology (i.e. identity theft). Some have had their computers confiscated while others have been arrested and jailed.
Telecommunications Act of 1996 attempted to deal with things like "what kind of communications are legal online?" More laws came up because the questions were endless. So, other laws came up to try to put a stop to these offenses and criminal acts because so many innocent people are paying for it. There are still more problems that are to be solved by future lawmakers. This is just one of the many things that lawmakers have to face to be able to protect us and our rights, especially with all of these technological advances that have gotten people to commit such crimes.
