Consumers of news and music have embraced the Internet and its application very quickly; whereas companies in news and music have been rather more reluctant to integrate the Internet into their processes and their products and services. Only step by step- in a gradual adoption process- are they taking advantage of the new technology, generally in terms of products and services, or process and cost optimisation. / One of the main contributions of my thesis is how companies in the content sector can react to a constantly changing technological and competitive environment. Content providers in news and music do modify their business model in response to the Internet innovation and the consequences it (and the more recent mobile technologies) has for important market forces. The ‘Six forces model for Internet business models’ I developed shows how constant changes in market and company-based forces like Internet (and mobile) technology, end device development, financial constraints, customer behaviour, business structures, the competitive environment and institutional conditions constrain content providers to respond to new innovation through modification of their business model. The outcome of the business model modification itself, such as new products and services, new revenue sources, new structures for the company’s organisation and new cooperation, in turn has an impact on the market and company-based forces. To support companies’ strategic decision making I developed the ‘C+ model for content providers’ which describes a flexible, adaptable business model- not only designed for online and mobile distribution of content, but equally applicable to any business model in an increasingly competitive market environment. / Thesis (PhD)--University of South Australia, 2006.

The purpose of my thesis is to analyse and focus on the very actual topic of the Internet and computer criminality. The reason I chose this topic for my research is growing development of technology resulting in the evolution of new types of crimes, which need to be regulated by the law. The thesis is composed of six chapters, each of them dealing with different aspects of the cybernetic criminality. Chapter one is introductory and mainly focuses on the definition of the basic terminology used in the thesis, like computer systems, data, computer crime, internet crime and most importantly cybercrime. Chapter two gives a brief historical background to the relationship between the evolution of the information and communication technology and the appearance of the cybernetic crime. Chapter three discusses on the specifics of the cybercrime by the means of description of the typical cybercriminal, his motives, and his victims and last but not least of the possible prevention measures. The last part of this chapter concentrates on problems resulting from the transnational nature of cybercrime, which creates jurisdictional issues. Chapter four is subdivided into three main parts and provides an outline of the relevant International legislation in the field of cybercrime. Part one deals with the main...
