Revolt Against The U.S. Hegemony: Judicial Divergence In Cyberspace, Dongsheng Zang
Revolt Against The U.S. Hegemony: Judicial Divergence In Cyberspace, Dongsheng Zang
Articles
This Article contributes to our understanding of the current state of cyber law. The global perspective demonstrates an almost uniform response to the U.S. law in cyberspace from all of America's major trading partners. In the past, comparative studies tended to focus on a single jurisdiction-typically, the European Union-and compared it with the United States. This approach, informative as it was, significantly understated the gravity of the differences between that jurisdiction and the United States. Fundamentally, it was based on an American-centric outlook with primary interests in building convergence models. In cyberspace, however, this is simply not helpful. In recent …
Federal Rule 44.1: Foreign Law In U.S. Courts Today, Vivian Grosswald Curran
Federal Rule 44.1: Foreign Law In U.S. Courts Today, Vivian Grosswald Curran
Articles
This article presents an in-depth analysis of the latent methodological issues that are as much a cause of U.S. federal court avoidance of foreign law as are judicial difficulties in obtaining foreign legal materials and difficulties in understanding foreign legal orders and languages.

Articles
Much legal and technical scholarship discusses the differing views of the United States and European Union toward privacy concepts and regulation. A substantial amount of effort in recent years, in both research and policy, focuses on attempting to reconcile these viewpoints searching for a common framework with a common level of protection for citizens from both sides of Atlantic. Reconciliation, we argue, misunderstands the nature of the challenge facing effective cross-border data flows. No such reconciliation can occur without abdication of some sovereign authority of nations, that would require the adoption of an international agreement with typical tools of international …
Performer's Rights And Digital Sampling Under U.S. And Japanese Law, Jessica D. Litman
Performer's Rights And Digital Sampling Under U.S. And Japanese Law, Jessica D. Litman
Articles
A year or two ago, one of my copyright students called to my attention a problem that seemed to him to pose unique difficulties for the copyright statute. The problem arises because of a technology called digital sampling.' Digital sampling is a new threat to performers' rights that has grown out of the combination of digital recording technology with music synthesizer technology. This threat is a very recent one. Indeed, the digital sampling problem is so new that copyright lawyers haven't yet figured out how to think about it.
