A usurpação da ciberidentidade

Abstract

This dissertation discusses the phenomenon of online identity (ciberidentity) theft from a criminal perspective. It was noted how easy is to use the virtual identity of another person, without their consent, thereby violating a fundamental right, whose nature is eminently personal. According to the fact that Criminal Law does not protect the ciberidentity, as an autonomous legal right, we introduce both favorable and unfavorable arguments for the criminalization of ciberidentity theft, and we present a dogmatic proposal of the (future?) crime.
