RED HERRING:

"US Ratifies Cybercrime Treaty

The Senate signs on to the only treaty calling for international cooperation against cybercrime.
August 4, 2006

The U.S. Senate endorsed an international treaty Friday that calls for global cooperation in fighting computer-related crimes, making the United States the sixteenth of the 43 nations to have ratified the pact.

The treaty, known as the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime, is the first that tries to create a consensus among nations on laws to tackle crimes like hacking, fraud, child pornography, and copyright infringement."
