解説
問 24
Incorrectア
Installing software for which the company purchased a license onto a personally owned PC without permission is a matter of violating the license terms or infringing the reproduction right under copyright law; it does not constitute the Crime Concerning Unauthorized Commands Electromagnetic Records, which targets creating, obtaining, or storing viruses.
Incorrectイ
Using applicants' personal information for another purpose without permission is a matter that violates the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (restriction on the purpose of use); it is not a crime related to viruses.
- ウ
正解 The Crime Concerning Unauthorized Commands Electromagnetic Records (Penal Code Articles 168-2 and 168-3, the so-called Virus Creation Crime) punishes creating, providing, putting into use, obtaining, or storing a computer virus (unauthorized commands electromagnetic record) without a legitimate reason. Option ウ, “Without a legitimate reason, collected viruses that cause malfunctions in other people's computers and stored them on a home PC,” exactly constitutes obtaining and storing a virus, so it may constitute this crime. Therefore the correct answer is ウ.
Incorrectエ
Telling a third party the ID and password used to access another person's computer without that person's permission constitutes the “provision of another person's identification code” prohibited by the Act on Prohibition of Unauthorized Computer Access; it is not the Crime Concerning Unauthorized Commands Electromagnetic Records.
ここがポイント
- The Crime Concerning Unauthorized Commands Electromagnetic Records (Virus Creation Crime, Penal Code Articles 168-2 and 168-3) punishes not only creating, providing, and putting viruses into use without a legitimate reason, but also obtaining and storing them.
- For improper IT-related acts, different laws apply depending on the nature of the act — such as copyright law, the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, and the Act on Prohibition of Unauthorized Computer Access — and these must be distinguished.
