Common Law Property Metaphors On The Internet: The Real Problem With The Doctrine Of Cybertrespass, Shyamkrishna Balganesh
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
The doctrine of cybertrespass represents one of the most recent attempts by courts to apply concepts and principles from the real world to the virtual world of the Internet.

Consequently, unauthorized electronic interferences are deemed trespassory intrusions and rendered actionable.
