However, beside all of excess and benefit from internet, using the global network is potential to make the new form of crime that is cybercrime, emerge. To fight the new form of crime it is necessary for Indonesia to make a statute that is able to prevent computer-base crime use. Now Indonesia has prefared the Draft of Information Technology. One of the efforts to cope with the new form of crime (computer-related crime) are by using penal instrument as written in Chapter XI Articles 29 to 39 of Statute Draft. But the penal policy is still not as it is wished as written in Consideration or in General Explanation of Statute Draft. Hence, before the draft has not been enacted, it needs to be revised, so the existence of the statute will be very usefull for the importance of nations and state.
