Delitos Informáticos: Robo, Duplicación y Acceso Ilegal

Explicación Simple

Las leyes de delitos informáticos dicen que no puedes entrar a una computadora que no es tuya para robar información. También es ilegal copiar cosas sin permiso, como programas o datos. Si haces algo malo en una computadora, puedes meterte en problemas graves.

Es como si alguien entrara a tu casa sin permiso solo para llevarse tu teléfono o hacer copias de tus fotos. Eso no está bien, y la ley lo castiga.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan trabaja en una empresa y decide copiar un software importante sin autorización para venderlo después. Esto no solo le podría costar su trabajo, sino que también podría enfrentarse a cargos criminales por duplicación ilegal.
