Coddling Spies: Why The Law Doesn’T Adequately Address Computer Spyware, Alan F. Blakley, Daniel B. Garrie, Matthew J. Armstrong
Coddling Spies: Why The Law Doesn’T Adequately Address Computer Spyware, Alan F. Blakley, Daniel B. Garrie, Matthew J. Armstrong
Duke Law & Technology Review
Consumers and businesses have attempted to use the common law of torts as well as federal statutes like the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Stored Wire and Electronic Communications and Transactional Records Act, and the Wiretap Act to address the expanding problem of spyware. Spyware, which consists of software applications inserted into another's computer to report a user's activity to an outsider, is as innocuous as tracking purchases or as sinister as stealing trade secrets or an individual's identity. Existing law does not address spyware adequately because authorization language, buried in "click-through" boilerplate, renders much of current law useless. …
Product Liability Law, Gary J. Spahn, Brent M. Timberlake
Product Liability Law, Gary J. Spahn, Brent M. Timberlake
University of Richmond Law Review
While Virginia is not typically seen as "progressive" in the field of product liability law, the Commonwealth is nonetheless a forum in which these product liability battles take place. This article summarizes selected decisions of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, federal district courts in Virginia, and courts of the Commonwealth issued between July 1, 2004 and May 15, 2005. This article also includes a discussion of the most relevant legislative changes made by the Virginia General Assembly over the same time period. While a complete analysis of every decision and statute affecting product liability is …

The Fact Act Of 2003: Securing Personal Information In An Age Of Identity Theft, Terrance J. Keenan
The Fact Act Of 2003: Securing Personal Information In An Age Of Identity Theft, Terrance J. Keenan
Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts
The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (“FACT Act”) makes incremental progress toward its goal of improving the protection of consumers and businesses in an age of increasingly sophisticated scams and cons. Congress enacted the FACT Act in order to further address the problems of identity theft, improve resolution of disputes over consumer credit information, enhance accuracy of consumer credit records, further regulate use of credit information, and broaden consumer access to credit information. The FACT Act imposes new business practices on companies that handle personal consumer information by requiring them to share with consumers information about data …
Applying 42 U.S.C. § 1981 To Claims Of Consumer Discrimination, Abby Morrow Richardson
Applying 42 U.S.C. § 1981 To Claims Of Consumer Discrimination, Abby Morrow Richardson
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note explores several interesting legal questions regarding the proper interpretation of 42 U.S.C. § 1981, which prohibits racial discrimination in contracting, when discrimination arises in the context of a consumer retail contract. The Note further explores how the Fifth Circuit's and other federal courts' narrow interpretation of § 1981's application in a retail setting (which allows plaintiffs to invoke the statute only when they have been prevented from completing their purchases) is contrary to the statute's express language, congressional intent, and to evolving concepts of contract theory, all of which reflect a commitment to the strict enforcement of civil …
When Big Brother Privatizes: Commercial Surveillance, The Privacy Act Of 1974, And The Future Of Rfid, John M. Eden
When Big Brother Privatizes: Commercial Surveillance, The Privacy Act Of 1974, And The Future Of Rfid, John M. Eden
Duke Law & Technology Review
RFID is a powerful new technology that has the potential to allow commercial retailers to undermine individual control over private information. Despite the potential of RFID to undermine personal control over such information, the federal government has not enacted a set of practicable standards to ensure that personal data does not become widely misused by commercial entities. Although some potential privacy abuses could be addressed by modifying RFID technology, this iBrief argues that it would be wise to amend the Privacy Act of 1974 so that corporations would have a statutory obligation to preserve individual anonymity and respect the privacy …

Swancc'S Clear Statement: A Delimitation Of Congress's Commerce Clause Authority To Regulate Water Pollution, Matthew B. Baumgartner
Swancc'S Clear Statement: A Delimitation Of Congress's Commerce Clause Authority To Regulate Water Pollution, Matthew B. Baumgartner
Michigan Law Review
Perhaps the most controversial aspect of federal water pollution law is wetland regulation. Wetlands are typically marshy or swampy areas with hydrologic soils and vegetation. Their ecological value is widely recognized, but wetlands often stand in the way of lucrative commercial development projects. Thus, the battle over the validity of federal wetland regulation is a classic fight between environmentalists and industry. The wetlands controversy is also paradigmatic of the perpetual struggle to define the constitutional limits to federal regulation. The country's main water pollution control law, the Clean Water Act (CWA), purports to regulate all "navigable waters," which it defines …

Stop The Abuse Of Gmail!, Grant Yang
Duke Law & Technology Review
Gmail, a highly anticipated webmail application made by Google, has been criticized by privacy advocates for breaching wiretapping laws, even before its release from beta testing. Gmail's large storage space and automated processes developed to scan the content of incoming messages and create advertisements based on the scanned terms have enraged privacy groups on an international level. This iBrief will compare Gmail's practices with its peers and conclude that its practices and procedures are consistent with the standards of the webmail industry. The iBrief will then propose additional measures Gmail could institute to further protect webmail users' and alleviate the …

The Syracuse Conference On A World Rule Of Law: American Perspectives An Introduction, Malcolm M. Feeley
The Syracuse Conference On A World Rule Of Law: American Perspectives An Introduction, Malcolm M. Feeley
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
The working group was charged with exploring virtually all facets of democracy and the rule of law, as they pertain to established constitutional democracies, societies undergoing "transitions to constitutional democracies," and those societies where democracy remains little more than a hopeful wish. Papers and much of the discussion during the two days probed beneath the structural formalities that are obvious and important requisites of democracy, to explore the subtexts of and cultural conditions for democracy and the rule of law, those features that may be so taken-for-granted that they usually go unacknowledged, let alone unexplored in discussion of democratic theory. …
Democratic Norms And Regional Stability Panel Deiscussion: An Introduction, David S. Berry
Democratic Norms And Regional Stability Panel Deiscussion: An Introduction, David S. Berry
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
The following three brief articles raise and address fundamental questions about the role of democracy at the regional and international levels. They examine the current status of democracy and the suggested "right to democracy" at international law, particularly in the Americas context. Developed from papers presented at a panel entitled "Democratic Norms and Regional Stability: Global Challenges and Responses in the Americas," these three pieces examine the current role of democracy in the region, including the role of the Inter-American Democratic Charter. The latter document, paralleled by provisions in the Charter of the Organization of American States and resolutions of …
A Quick Look At The Inter-American Democratic Charter Of The Oas: What Is It And Is It "Legal"?, Timothy D. Rudy
A Quick Look At The Inter-American Democratic Charter Of The Oas: What Is It And Is It "Legal"?, Timothy D. Rudy
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
This article briefly discusses the Democratic Charter-its creation, its perhaps murky legal status, and Chapter IV. But I have added new developments that took place after the ASIL meeting which further indicate the Democratic Charter represents an important expression of the progressive development of international law. Democratic government is required for every country in the Western Hemisphere. 8 But the Democratic Charter takes this internal domestic right and establishes it as an external collective right as well. The first article of the Democratic Charter clearly states that it is "[t]he peoples of the Americas [who] have a right to democracy …
The Oas And Constitutionalism: Lessons From Recent West African Experience, Stephen J. Schnably
The Oas And Constitutionalism: Lessons From Recent West African Experience, Stephen J. Schnably
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
The Inter-American Democratic Charter commits the OAS to respond to "an unconstitutional alteration of the constitutional regime that seriously impairs the democratic order in a member state." The Declaration of Florida envisions the possibility of an OAS mechanism to "address[] situations that might affect the workings of the political process of democratic institutions or the legitimate exercise of power." Other organizations have similar commitments. MERCOSUR, a free trade association among several South American nations, agreed in 1996 to respond to any "interruption in the democratic order" of its members or associates. The Organization of African Unity formally bound itself in …
Exercising Their Rights: Native American Nations Of The United States Enhancing Political Sovereignty Through Ratification Of The Rome Statute, Kristoffer P. Kiefer
Exercising Their Rights: Native American Nations Of The United States Enhancing Political Sovereignty Through Ratification Of The Rome Statute, Kristoffer P. Kiefer
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
The Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court (ICC) provides an ideal opportunity for Native American nations to begin attaining the rights and protections they have sought from the U.S. Government. Essentially, ratification would establish a legal relationship between Native American tribal governments and the ICC, as an international body, permitting Native American nations to interact independently with international organizations and States. Native Americans could help lay the foundation for establishing international legal personality-something previously denied by the United Nations (U.N.)-through ratification. In tum Native Americans would place pressure on the United States Government to recognize their political sovereignty. The …
Reflecting On The Rule Of Law, Its Reciprocal Relation With Rights, Legitimacy And Other Concepts And Institutions, Samuel J.M. Donnelly
Reflecting On The Rule Of Law, Its Reciprocal Relation With Rights, Legitimacy And Other Concepts And Institutions, Samuel J.M. Donnelly
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
When bringing social science to the study of law, understanding the role of law in the process of social change is central. The great American example of social change influenced by law begins, of course, with the end of our Civil War, the freeing of the slaves, and continues through the establishment of segregation, the attacks upon it, desegregation and the development of affirmative action. May I suggest that another very important sequence of legal and social changes is the development and recognition of human rights in the European Union since · World War 11. In the first part of …
Corporate Governance Changes In The Two Largest Economies: What's Happening In The U.S. And Japan?, Makoto Toda, William Mccarty
Corporate Governance Changes In The Two Largest Economies: What's Happening In The U.S. And Japan?, Makoto Toda, William Mccarty
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
Lawmakers in the world's two largest economies, the United States and Japan, have enacted legislation to require firms to at least consider altering their governance structure. In the United States, the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules have led to revised governance structures at the 30 Dow Jones (DJ) companies. The governance changes affect the composition, size and functions of the board of directors and its relations with the chief executive officer (CEO). A 2003 change in the Japanese Commercial Code provided firms with three governance options, including a "Company with Committees" system similar to …
Rethinking Multinational Corporate Governance In Extractive Industries, Matthew Nick
Rethinking Multinational Corporate Governance In Extractive Industries, Matthew Nick
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The oil and natural gas reserves under the Caspian Sea have sparked the interest of international investors and oil firms. The political, economic, and social turmoil in the five countries bordering the Caspian Sea, however, pose significant challenges for effective regulation of multinational interaction with the five Caspian states. A joint-effort approach to regulation involving the World Bank, multinational enterprises, and the individual Caspian states' governments poses the most functional and efficient means of instituting international oversight. Such a tripartite structure connects the fortunes of all the parties and provides safeguards against default by any single entity. A mutually beneficial …

Assessing The Deterrent Effect Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act's Certification Provisions, Kathleen A. Lacey, Barbara C. George, Clyde Stoltenberg
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
In the 1970s, Congress reacted to the financial wrongdoing of Lockheed Corp. and others by enacting § 102 of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which (1) requires corporations to keep records that accurately reflect financial transactions and (2) mandates a system of internal accounting controls. Going a step further in 2002, Congress responded to the Enron scandal by imposing personal accountability on chief executive officers in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA). After recounting responses prior to the existence of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to corporate abuses and the historical background of the SEC's requirements for corporate financial reporting …

A New Approach To Corporate Choice Of Law, Jens Dammann
A New Approach To Corporate Choice Of Law, Jens Dammann
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The state of incorporation doctrine, which now applies both in the United States and in the European Community, allows corporations to choose the state law governing their internal affairs by incorporating in the appropriate state. Most scholars believe that this freedom to choose benefits both shareholders and society as a whole. Against this background, an obvious question is whether the state of incorporation doctrine is really the most efficient way of granting corporations the right to choose. In this Article, the Author argues that while there are sound reasons for retaining the state of incorporation doctrine as one mechanism for …

The Importation Of Sexism: A Cost-Benefit Approach To The U.S.-South Korea Friendship, Commerce And Navigation Treaty, Jennifer D. Fease
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The U.S.-South Korea Friendship, Commerce and Navigation Treaty was entered into by the signatory countries following World War II and governs the actions of corporations operating in a foreign country. One provision of the Treaty allows foreign corporations in the United States to choose executives "of their choice," arguably without regard to the statutory protections that the United States affords in the hiring process. In this Note, the Author contends that the U.S.-South Korea Friendship, Commerce and Navigation Treaty results in discrimination against women in the United States because South Korean employers tend to choose South Korean men to fill …
