2000

In the article, "Cyberspace faces up to its Demon; The illusion of Internet unaccountability has been blown," the Guardian Leader addresses the then growing business of identity theft through impersonation, copyright infringement, and piracy. The term cyberspace is implied to be the world wide web. The article looks at how easy it is to impersonate someone through emails because of the lack of accountability inherent in the Internet. The author calls for Internet control, which I believe has been somewhat achieved in 2008.
