Résumé:
Technological advances mean that society will change in order to fit into this new
technological developments. Coming this is the internet, which plays a key role in
communication among people. Thus, your presence and subsequent interference
coexistence and culture of these, as well as in the legal environment, it becomes
undeniable. Its advent has brought benefits and harms for everyone and should be
inseparable from the performance of legal sciences regarding criminal conduct
arising from the internet. The rapid spread of the Internet and its breadth and depth,
derived from the virtual space are factors that contribute to the lack of laws abridging
malpractices practiced in this way, as with conflicts of jurisdiction and sovereignty
among the countries due to transnational character of the internet. Given this stir,
sought to address honor crimes committed over the Internet, emphasizing inquiry
about the need to establish new orders in order to classify and regrar such criminal
conduct, observing the principle of legality. Honor receives support both
constitutional as infra, given its impressive character for the man. The research was
based on the doctrine and legislation, based on the deductive method, based on the
crime in general until crimes against honor. Hermeneutic method was used legal and
historical, as well as technical documentation indirect. As the research objectives
was to seek to understand the virtual space as a territory for the commission of
crimes, as well as the transnational character of cybercrime and problematic in its
classification and enforcement of laws in time and space before the stir imposed by
state sovereignty, and especially about the verification of the application of laws that
criminalize offenses against the honor that are listed in the current Criminal Code in
respect of the principle of legality, when they are practiced in the virtual environment.
