DeMarco is a partner at DeVore & DeMarco LLP where he specializes in counseling clients on complex issues involving information privacy and security, theft of intellectual property, computer intrusions, online fraud, employee malfeasance and crisis management and response. His years of experience in private practice, and in government where he handled the most difficult and sensitive investigations brought by the United States Attorney's Office, have made him one of the nation's leading experts on Internet crime and the law relating to emerging technologies.

Under his leadership, cybercrime prosecutions grew from a trickle to a top priority in the United States Attorney's Office, encompassing all forms of criminal activity affecting domestic and international e-commerce and intellectual property. As a recognized expert in the field, DeMarco has frequently counseled prosecutors and law enforcement agents regarding novel investigative techniques and methodologies, and has regularly provided advice to the federal government concerning its most important computer-related investigations.

At the leading edge of the digital revolution, both the U.S. and South Korea have been radically transformed by widespread Internet use. Not only has this revolution changed the way people live and do business, it has also expanded the spectrum of illegal activity. Cybercrime has many faces: from computer hacking and online piracy of copyrighted content, to spam, spyware and malware, or any of a host of other issues unimaginable a few decades ago. How is the law faring against this ever elusive opponent?

Joseph DeMarco will share his perspective on the Internet revolution, evolving trends in cybercrime, and how developments on both sides of the law have forever affected the way businesses, individuals and criminals interact in the global economy. DeMarco will explain how American and Korean experiences of these problems are similar, in what ways they differ, and how each country can learn from the other in addressing the challenges presented by the darker side of the digital revolution.
