FAMILY LAW: RESPONSIBILITIES OF HUSBAND AND WIFE

Legally marriage is a civil contract entered by two consenting and
capable parties and it cannot be terminated at will by the two persons
involved. Unless the bond is dissolved by the state, it's binding until
the death of one of the parties. The validity of marriage is determined
by the laws of the state in which it takes place.

The legal relationship of marriage creates certain obligations for
both parties. Theoretically the husband is the head of household. It's
his duty to support and provide for his wife and children. In return
according to common law theory the wife is supposed to render serv-
ice to her husband. The husband is obliged to support his wife al-
though she may have property and earnings of her own. But if they
separate due to the wife's actions the husband is not required to con-
tinue support. Among his responsibilities is the husband's duty to pro-
vide his wife and family with the necessities of life. In addition to the
common necessities of food, clothing and shelter many courts require
him to maintain his family in accordance with his economic position.
Traditionally the wife is expected to perform household and other
tasks for her husband. These services are to be rendered «free». For
example a husband can sue to recover damages for «the loss of his
wife's services» if she is injured by the negligent action of any other.

COMPUTER CRIMES

The explosive growth in the use of computers in the business world
in the past few years has brought with it a corresponding increase in
computer misuse. Traditional (precomputer) state and federal laws
applicable to such crimes as trespass and larceny are not necessarily
appropriate for prosecution of cases of computer fraud and computer
theft. For example, one court held that a city employee's use of the
city's computer facilities in his private sales venture couldn't support
a theft conviction absent any evidence that the city was deprived of

any part of value or use of the computer. In some cases, use of a com-
puter hasn't been deemed «property» within traditional theft statutes

Computer crimes fall mainly into three broad categories: simple
unauthorized access, theft of information and theft of funds. Among
schemes that have been subjects of litigations are stealing a competi-
tor's computer program; paying an accomplice to delete adverse in-
formation and insert favorable false information into the defendant's
credit file; a bank's president having his account computer coded so
that his checks would be removed and held rather than posted so he
could later remove the actual checks without their been debited; and a
disgruntled ex-employee's inserting a «virus» into his former em-
ployer's computer to destroy its records.

Задание 13. Найдите в тексте эквиваленты следующим выражениям:

1. Соответствующий рост случаев злоупотреблений компьютерами.

2. Не всегда являются подходящими для судебного преследования в
случае компьютерного мошенничества или компьютерной кражи.

4. Являлись предметами судебного спора.

FAMILY LAW: RIGHTS OF HUSBAND AND WIFE

Under common law husband and wife were considered one person.
Under this theory the wife had no property rights. Today all state legislatures have modified if not eliminated this legal unit of husband and
wife. The wife now has rights to property, the right to make contracts
and the right to sue.

Since the husband is considered the head of the household he has
the legal right to choose the place of residence for his family.

Marriage settlements relate solely to property. These agreements
can be made either before or after the marriage takes place. In general,
a settlement is made by persons with property rights that would be
affected by marriage.

However, it can not affect the obligations of matrimony. For in-
stance, a husband can not use a settlement to limit his wife's annual
allowance for clothing and incidentals. On the other hand, he can pro-
vide by settlement that his wife will receive a stated share of his
wealth or interest in his property.

In general, any property acquired by the wife during marriage is
her own. For instance, if she wins a law suit for a certain amount of
money that sum is hers to keep or use as she likes. Several state, how-
ever, have adopted the community property system. Under these laws
all property obtained through the efforts of either persons or through
the work of both belongs to both - husband and wife. Separate property can be acquired during marriage by gift or heritance. Property
owned by one spouse before marriage remains the property of that
individual. Also income derived from separate property during marriage is also separate property.

COMPUTER CRIMES

Some estimate that losses due to computer misuse may be as high
as $35 to $40 billion per year (including thefts of funds, losses of
computer programs and data, losses of trade secrets, and damage done
to computer hardware). These estimates may not be reliable, but it is
clear that a substantial amount of computer crime is never discovered
and a high percentage of that which is discovered is never reported
because companies don't want publicity about the inadequacy of their
computer controls and financial institutions, such as banks, fear that
reports of large losses of funds, even when insured, are likely to cause
depositors to withdraw their funds in the interest of safety. Whatever
the actual loss due to computer misuse, both Congress and the state

legislatures have passed statutes to deal specifically with computer
crime.

At least 45 states have passed laws dealing with computer crime.
Most of the statutes comprehensively address the problem, outlawing
computer trespass (unauthorized access); damage to computer soft-
ware (e.g. use of «viruses»); theft or misappropriation of computer
services , and unauthorized obtaining or disseminating of information
via computer. There have been relatively few prosecutions under these
state laws or the federal acts, leading some experts to suggest that the
problem of computer crime has been overestimated.
