This Article contends that the National Cybersecurity Strategy's software liability regime should incorporate two safe harbors. The first would shield software creators and vendors from liability for decisions related to design, implementation, and maintenance, as long as those choices follow enumerated best practices. The second—the “inverse safe harbor”—would have the opposite effect: coders and distributors who engaged in defined worst practices would automatically become liable. This Article explains the design, components, and justifications for these twin safe harbors. The software safe harbors are key parts of the overall design of the new liability regime and work in tandem with the …
Continuity As The Key To Reform Of Section 355, Charlene Luke
Continuity As The Key To Reform Of Section 355, Charlene Luke

Although far from creating what Dean Roscoe Pound more than 100 years ago called a "science of legislation, " the proposals here nonetheless …

During its 2012 session the Florida Legislature amended the text of Florida Statute 322.04 to add a requirement for nonresidents.

The change took effect January 1, 2013, but even before that date, Florida faced allegations that it was violating international law with this new requirement.
