The CoE Convention on cybercrime provides a treaty-based framework that imposes on the participating nations the obligation to enact legislation criminalizing certain conduct related to computer systems, create investigative procedures and ensure their availability to domestic law enforcement authorities to investigate cybercrime offenses, including procedures to obtain electronic evidence in all of its forms and create a regime of broad international cooperation, including assistance in extradition of fugitives sought for crimes identified under the CoE Convention. Since there is no internationally recognized legal definition of computer crime, this article briefly presents the generally recognized categories of cybercrime and then proceeds …

In the absence of a world government, cross border trade is always subject to rules that must be politically negotiated among nations that are sovereign in their own realm but not outside their borders. The author explores the development of an international trade and e-commerce paradigm in two main phases as the Internet superhighway bridges nations together. She argues that the construction of an international trading framework must strike the appropriate balance between institutional order and norms and the human and business realities of free trade and democracy. She further argues that the balance can be achieved by creating an …

The authors chronicle the status of privacy …

The author states that the rapid growth of the Internet has caused a serious collision between the efficient functioning of Domain Name Systems and the claims of trademark owners. U.S. Courts have recognized that domain names can have trademark implications. Trademarks are important because organizations responsible for allocation and registration of domain names must take trademarks and trademark law into account. The International Trademark Association (INTA) sets forth principles that should apply to the use of trademarks in the Domain Name System. The author's comment focuses on how to accommodate the interests and rights of trademark owners in the DNS …
