The Telecommunications Act Of 1996: Codifying The Digital Divide, Allen S. Hammond Iv Dec 1997

The Telecommunications Act Of 1996: Codifying The Digital Divide, Allen S. Hammond Iv

Federal Communications Law Journal

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 purports to ensure every American eventual access to advanced telecommunications networks and services, and more immediate access to basic telephone networks and services. This access is essential because it determines the ease with which Americans can acquire an education, obtain employment, control financial affairs, access emergency assistance, and participate in the political process. The interpretation and implementation of the 1996 Act is critical because there is an imminent danger that a large portion of society— in inner cities, near suburbs, and small towns— not be connected to the "national electronic nervous system." To ensure that …


International Jurisdiction In Cyberspace: Which States May Regulate The Internet?, Stephan Wilske, Teresa Schiller Dec 1997

International Jurisdiction In Cyberspace: Which States May Regulate The Internet?, Stephan Wilske, Teresa Schiller

Federal Communications Law Journal

The Internet now reaches 60 million users in 160 countries, with the number increasing each year. Although cyberspace has been viewed as a self-regulating entity controlled by no government, this myth is being destroyed as the global Internet community expands. With this expansion comes a question: Who has the authority to regulate cyberspace? Given that decisions about the Internet reach far beyond national borders, the answer to this question is unknown, but certainly has broad implications. Traditional laws of international jurisdiction, including jurisdiction to prescribe, jurisdiction to adjudicate, and jurisdiction to enforce, offer some clear answers. However, further development of …

Personal Jurisdiction In Texas And Internet Web-Sites, Kevin M. Faulkner Oct 1997

Personal Jurisdiction In Texas And Internet Web-Sites, Kevin M. Faulkner

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

This Comment sets forth the analysis that Texas courts should use in maintaining personal jurisdiction over the nonresident creator/owner of a web-site on the Internet. This will be accomplished by elucidating the nature of the Internet in such a way as to show that its inherent nature is not unlike fact situations that Texas courts have dealt with previously. First, the foundation of jurisdictional analysis is outlined, concluding that for web-site cases jurisdiction hinges upon the intent or purpose in the web-site owner's actions. Second, significant Texas cases are discussed to explore the exact nature of what a court must …


The Mighty Morphin Ninja Mallard: The Standard For Analysis Of Derivative Work Infringement In The Digital Age, Timothy Everett Nielander Oct 1997

The Mighty Morphin Ninja Mallard: The Standard For Analysis Of Derivative Work Infringement In The Digital Age, Timothy Everett Nielander

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

On the continuum between an exact reproduction of protected property, and the creation of an original work, lies a gray zone. This zone is a mixture of protected works-printed art, art on digital media, digital and analog music, and other works recognized as deserving intellectual property protection-that can be mixed and matched with other works to create new works. American law recognizes protection of this form of copying as derivative rights. The question becomes, how do courts determine when the character of a work contains enough prior copyrighted material such that it violates a derivative right. Further, with the ease …

A Politics Of Intellectual Property: Environmentalism For The Net?, James Boyle Oct 1997

A Politics Of Intellectual Property: Environmentalism For The Net?, James Boyle

Duke Law Journal

This Essay argues that we need a politics, or perhaps a political economy, of intellectual property. Using the controversy over copyright on the Internet as a case study and the history of the environmental movement as a comparison, it offers a couple of modest proposals about what such a politics might look like-what theoretical ideas it might draw upon, and what constituencies it might unite.

Setting Rules In Cyberspace: Congress's Lost Opportunities To Avoid The Vagueness And Overbreadth Of The Communications Decency Act, Jeff Magenau Aug 1997

Setting Rules In Cyberspace: Congress's Lost Opportunities To Avoid The Vagueness And Overbreadth Of The Communications Decency Act, Jeff Magenau

San Diego Law Review

On June 26, 1997, the Supreme Court struck down the Communications Decency Act—Congress’s attempt to combat obscenity on the Internet—as overbroad and vague. The author demonstrates that the legislation failed because of “an awkward and hurried attempt,” producing “careless drafting.” Further, that the stated goals of the CDA “expose a general lack of understanding of the mechanisms and environment” of the Internet. This article identifies key terms of the legislation that could be corrected, in order to improve future attempts at legislation, and warns generally against heavy-handed legislation which might inhibit the Internet’s growth.

Regulatory Web: Free Speech And The Global Information Infrastructure, A, Victor Mayer-Schönberger, Teree E. Foster Jun 1997

Regulatory Web: Free Speech And The Global Information Infrastructure, A, Victor Mayer-Schönberger, Teree E. Foster

Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review

National restrictions of freedom of speech on the nascent global information infrastructure are commonplace not only in the United States, but also around the globe. Individual nations, each intent upon preserving what they perceive to be within the perimeters of their national interests, seek to regulate certain forms of speech because of content that is considered reprehensible or offensive to national well-being or civic virtue. The fact that this offending speech is technologically dispersed instantaneously to millions of potential recipients strengthens the impetus to regulate.... Activists at both ends of the spectrum disregard an integral aspect of the global composition …
