Cyberlaw: Problems Of Policy And Jurisprudence In The Information Age. 4th Edition., Patricia Bellia, Paul Schiff Berman, Brett Frischmann, David Post

Patricia L. Bellia

This law school casebook starts from the premise that cyberlaw is not simply a set of legal rules governing online interaction, but a lens through which to re-examine general problems of policy, jurisprudence, and culture. The book goes beyond simply plugging Internet-related cases into a series of doctrinal categories, instead emphasizing conceptual issues that extend across the spectrum of cyberspace legal dilemmas. While the book addresses all of the “traditional” subject matter areas of cyberlaw, it asks readers to consider both how traditional legal doctrines can be applied to cyberspace conduct, and how the special problems encountered in the course …

Fourth Amendment Protection For Stored E-Mail, Susan Freiwald, Patricia L. Bellia Dec 2007

Fourth Amendment Protection For Stored E-Mail, Susan Freiwald, Patricia L. Bellia

Susan Freiwald

The Sixth Circuit, however, is reconsidering the case en banc. This Article examines the nature of stored e-mail surveillance and argues …


Spam Works: Evidence From Stock Touts And Corresponding Market Activit, Jonathan Zittrain Dec 2005

Spam Works: Evidence From Stock Touts And Corresponding Market Activit, Jonathan Zittrain

Jonathan Zittrain

We assess the impact of spam that touts stocks upon the trading activity of those stocks and sketch how profitable such spamming might be for spammers and how harmful it is to those who heed advice in stock-touting e-mails. We find convincing evidence that stock prices are being manipulated through spam. We suggest that the effectiveness of spammed stock touting calls into question prevailing models of securities regulation that rely principally on the proper labeling of information and disclosure of conflicts of interest as means of protecting consumers, and we propose several regulatory and industry interventions. Based on a large …
