Communications, order placements, and processing for businesses that only involved paperwork, such as banking, insurance and financial services in general, benefitted greatly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As did the gambling companies. Access to the internet suddenly enabled them to engage with a seemingly unlimited market. A golden era was dawning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, governments around the world woke up to the fact that their traditional jurisdictional rights were being undermined by the internet. Suddenly, their citizens could engage in activities that were, until then, controlled exclusively by their laws.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"the-us-states-want-control\">They needed to get the situation under control.

illegal activity &#8211; and seemingly no way to put an end to it &#8211; was driving the US states to distraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fearing a loss of revenue, and attempting to protect their traditional jurisdictions, a few US states would claim jurisdiction over the internet and then criminalise offenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how could the internet be controlled?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Controlling and regulating internet transactions would only be possible, if they could control the flow of internet data traffic.&nbsp; The problem was that any efforts, by a state, to control the data flowing across their borders, while remaining a participant in global e-commerce, would likely involve a lot of government resources; that is: it would be very complex and hugely expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The alternative would be to pass laws and legally pursue participants of internet activities of which they did not approve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-45376d6 stk-block-background

class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">First Attempts<\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1995, the US state of Minnesota attempted to assert jurisdiction over what looked like the entire world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newspapers at that time reported: \u201cYou bet it&#8217;s illegal\u201d, said Hubert H. Humphrey III, Minnesota&#8217;s computer-savvy attorney general. Humphrey claimed jurisdiction over anything illegal that popped up on a computer screen in his state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Minnesota Attorney General&#8217;s Office posted an official warning stating: \u201cWarning to all Internet Users and Providers. Persons outside of Minnesota, who transmit information via the Internet, knowing that information will be disseminated in Minnesota, are subject to jurisdiction in Minnesota courts for violations of state criminal and civil laws.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The assertion of jurisdiction rested on the Minnesota general criminal jurisdiction statute, which provides that &#8220;A person may be convicted and sentenced under the law of this State if the person &#8230; (3) Being without the state, intentionally causes a result within the state prohibited by the criminal laws of this state.&#8221; MINN. STAT. ANN. ? 609.02,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minnesota&#8217;s attempt to assert jurisdiction over the entire internet highlighted a critical tension between local laws and global commerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach revealed a major challenge for online businesses: they could now be subject to prosecution, not just in their home country, but in any jurisdiction where their services reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For online gambling, this legal uncertainty was particularly perilous. Companies suddenly faced the risk of legal action from state or national governments across the world, each with its own laws and enforcement strategies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-16a84cd\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"16a84cd\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-16a84cd {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(10% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 2 \/ 3 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-16a84cd-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-16a84cd-inner-blocks\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-8946b0e\" data-block-id=\"8946b0e\"><style>.stk-8946b0e {margin-bottom:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-8946b0e-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-f42c3a2\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"f42c3a2\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-f42c3a2 {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(25% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 2 \/ 3 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-f42c3a2-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-f42c3a2-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-essential-blocks-advanced-image  root-eb-advanced-image-4bfa4\"><div class=\"eb-parent-wrapper eb-parent-eb-advanced-image-4bfa4 \"><figure class=\"eb-advanced-image-wrapper eb-advanced-image-4bfa4 img-style-square caption-style-1 caption-horizontal-center caption-vertical-bottom bottom no-effect\" data-id=\"eb-advanced-image-4bfa4\"><div class=\"image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crownstar.com\/crownstar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/11\/article_3_legal_5.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-e5409e6\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"e5409e6\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-e5409e6 {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(65% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 2 \/ 3 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-e5409e6-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-e5409e6-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-9da3a4a\" id=\"f\" data-block-id=\"9da3a4a\"><h4 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Prosecutions<\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As a test case, Humphrey\u2019s office filed suit against Granite Gate Resorts, a Nevada gaming company that had stated its intentions to offer online sports betting from a server in Belize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Granite Gate actually backed down, after threat of prosecution, as did many other defendants that Minnesota had sued at the same time, for a variety of online consumer frauds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, initially, this approach seemed to be effective; but only within the US states.

It became NAAG&#8217;s most heavily subscribed group, pulling in 40 of the nation&#8217;s attorneys general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five subject-matter committees were created, along with an executive staff committee (chaired by Minnesota&#8217;s Purcell) to coordinate their work. According to Purcell, the most serious obstacle to fighting cybercrime is a critical shortage of resources, training materials, and staff expertise. &#8220;Only a handful of states around the country have computer crime experts in their state crime labs,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, the US felt that it could flex its muscles when its residents are involved.
