Congress, The U.S. Supreme Court And Must-Carry Policy: A Flawed Economic Analysis, Nancy Whitmore

Nancy J. Whitmore

The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, which requires cable operators to carry the signals of local broadcast television stations, was hailed by supporters as a measure that would preserve the economic viability of the local independent broadcaster by unlocking the anticompetitive grip that the local cable company places on access to its system. In upholding the Act in 1997, the United States Supreme Court seemed to ignore the degree to which the cable and broadcast industries have become vertically integrated. In the end, local independent stations became economically viable not because they were guaranteed carriage on …

The Answer To Trial Publicity Is A Better Question, Kevin F. Qualls

Kevin F Qualls

Free-Press/Fair-Trial contests now happen in a new media age. Judicial remedies such as change-of-venue, sequestration, jury admonitions, and gag orders were fashioned in an era that included broadcast radio and television, an emerging cable television industry, and the traditional print media of newspapers and magazines. That content was, to some degree, geographically bound and temporary. Now those judicial remedies are applied in a new media age that extends the reach of traditional media in time and space while offering interactive capability. The efficacy of these remedies is in question. This paper provides an historical overview of how judicial remedies for …

The Implausibility Of Secrecy, Mark Fenster

Mark Fenster

Government secrecy frequently fails. Despite the executive branch’s obsessive hoarding of certain kinds of documents and its constitutional authority to do so, recent high-profile events—among them the WikiLeaks episode, the Obama administration’s celebrated leak prosecutions, and the widespread disclosure by high-level officials of flattering confidential information to sympathetic reporters—undercut the image of a state that can classify and control its information. The effort to control government information requires human, bureaucratic, technological, and textual mechanisms that regularly founder or collapse in an administrative state, sometimes immediately and sometimes after an interval. Leaks, mistakes, open sources—each of these constitutes a path out …

When The Need To Know Outweighs Privacy: Granting Access To Child Welfare Records In The 50 States, Courtney Barclay

Courtney Barclay

In 2013, the Kansas City Star, reported that, despite thirteen years of transparency under a records disclosure law, the Missouri Department of Social Services initially declined to requests for information regarding three tragic cases of child abuse in 2012, including one fatality. The state disclosure law permits the director of DSS to release information in these kinds of cases. Yet, the Department refused to release records, citing the need to avoid “hinder[ing] the criminal justice system.” This refusal to provide information seemed contrary to more than a decade of policy since the passage of the Missouri disclosure law in 2000 …

Digital Platforms In A Competition Law Context. A New Function Of Competition Law In The Digital Era, Vincenzo Franceschelli

Vincenzo Franceschelli

In a classical approach, competition law is a combination (or, if you prefer, a blend or a mixture) of law and economics. The ultimate traditional accepted goal of antitrust is to increase competition and consequently to protect the consumer.

In the digital era, competition law is going beyond its original objective of creating and preserving a competitive market.

Monopoly or dominant position in the digital world effects the communication system, and therefore citizen’s fundamental rights.

Freedom of expression, the right to be informed, privacy, access to information and to the net are preserved in a competitive and pluralistic market and …
