Outline of Final Research Achievements

Development of information and communication technologies, and especially cloud computing become the mainstream over. Moreover, IoT (Internet of Things) will be developed in the future. In this situation, with respect to protection of the information, media embodied with informations as itself is the object protected by criminal law. To overcome this situation is to abandon the property concept of media embodied with information, and it is necessary, to legislate criminal regulations to punish infringement of informations as such.
In addition, in the area of criminal regulation of child pornography, there is a problem with the understanding of the protection interests protected by law, and should be changed to those that protect children rights and freedom directly.
