The Future Of Privacy Policies: A Privacy Nutrition Label Filled With Fair Information Practices, 26 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (2008), Corey A. Ciocchetti
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The article looks at the threats accompanying online shopping, such as identity theft and aggregated data files. Such issues arise when companies carelessly lose laptops filled with unencrypted data or callously sell data on the open market with collected personally identifying information (PII). The article explains that although privacy policies are supposed to force companies to strengthen their privacy practices they are not always effective because companies often post inconspicuous, vague and legalese-filled policies. These ambiguous postings cause online shoppers to blindly submit PII and ignore privacy practices completely. The article proposes a solution to this problem through the standardization …

United States V. Andrus: Password Protect Your Roommate, Not Your Computer, 26 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 183 (2008), Sarah M. Knight
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The article looks at the decision in United States v. Andrus, where it was determined that the police could obtain consent from a father to search an adult son’s computer without first checking if the father who gave consent know the password and therefore had apparent authority to search. The police used Encase, software designed to make a forensic copy of a hard drive, without even turning on the computer. The 10th Circuit majority opinion decided the police committed no error when they conducted the search. The article’s author argues that the dissenting opinion took the correct position in its …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Petitioner, Alex Romero (“Romero”), appeals to the Marshall Supreme Court from an order granting summary judgment in favor of Respondent, Windbucket Entertainment, LLC (“Windbucket”). Romero’s lawsuit alleged that Windbucket and a third party (not a party to the present appeal) were liable to him for invasion of privacy by intrusion upon seclusion. Romero then sought discovery sanctions against Windbucket for violations of Marshall Rule of Civil Procedure 37. The issues in the case concern whether a subscriber to an Internet-based, multiplayer computer game can state a valid invasion of privacy claim against the game’s publisher, when liability is based on …

Wikipedia Made Law? The Federal Judicial Citation Of Wikipedia, 26 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 229 (2008), Amber Lynn Wagner
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
In this comment the author examines the new and growing body of federal opinions citing Wikipedia an authoritative source. The comment details how Wikipedia articles are generated, and the ease with which anyone can edit them, to illustrate their shortcomings as sources for making judicial determinations. The author provides examples of federal cases where judges rely on Wikipedia to define terms ranging from colloquial phrases to medical equipment. The author points out that in spite of several academic institutions and the U.S. Trade and Patent Office banning it as a source, federal judges continue to rely on Wikipedia in their …

Opening The Red Cross International Tracing Service Archive, 26 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 161 (2008), Kenneth Waltzer
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The Red Cross International Tracing Service Archive in Bad Arolsen contains nearly 17.5 million names and nearly 50 million World War II and post-war era documents. The Bonn Accords designated the International Tracing Service (“ITS”) as the sole caretaker of these documents. A recent revision to the Bonn Accords has resulted in a reopening of archives at Bad Arolsen. ITS has started to digitize materials, and the data has been distributed to designated research institutions. The revision also resulted in access to the archives for research purposes. This expanded availability of the information has raised a number of important questions …

Deadly Combinations: A Framework For Analyzing The Gpl’S Viral Effect, 25 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 487 (2008), Ron Phillips
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is free to use and can be downloaded from the Internet. This paper argues that adaptations that combine community source licensed software with an organization’s own intellectual property can trigger “viral” terms of the community source licenses in unexpected ways. The author proposes a model framework for analyzing software combinations to determine whether the viral terms are triggered, and illustrate that analysis against various technical combinations of community-sourced and proprietary software.

In the context of a hypothetical factual setting, this article explores three potential pitfalls attendant to such a strategy, and suggests ways to minimize those risks.
The Future Of Licensing Music Online: The Role Of Collective Rights Organizations And The Effect Of Territoriality, 25 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 409 (2008), Neil Conley
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The current licensing regime practiced by collective rights organizations (“CROs”) is preventing rights holders from being able to reap the financial benefits that the Internet and digital transmissions of music can provide. The problem is that CROs license online music on a restrictive, national basis where the online transmission of music is worldwide, unrestricted by national boundaries. This territorially restrictive licensing system began in the nineteenth century and was practical for geographically limited methods by which music was played and transmitted. However, licenses to transmit music online or in the digital environment in general are restricted on a national basis …

The Americans With Disabilities Act And Internet Accessibility For The Blind, 25 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 543 (2008), Katherine Rengel
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
This comment analyzes the current debate over Internet accessibility for the blind. The author proposes an amendment to the ADA which would require that all Web sites make reasonable accommodations so they are accessible to the visually impaired. The amendment would comply with the purpose of the ADA, and promote the public policy of equal access to all. Finally, the author concludes that, given the Internet’s prevalence in today’s society, an amendment to the ADA is essential to promote equality and bring the ADA into the Internet age.

Convergence And Incongruence: Trademark Law And Icann's Introduction Of New Generic Top-Level Domains, 25 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 625 (2008), Christine Haight Farley
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The author demonstrates how problematic the convergences between Internet technology, the demands of a burgeoning e-market, and trademark laws have created a myriad of issues in international governance of domain names. While the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”) has been tasked with resolving some of the most problematic information ownership issues in e-commerce, she demonstrates that current changes in domain name registries ignore the real world problems posed by these convergences.

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
This article discusses the process of innovation and releasing so-called negative information to help others in the process to innovate. The article focuses on patent law and asks the questions: Why do people innovate? Does the legal system really reflect how the process of innovation actually occurs?
The Supreme Court's Trademark Jurisprudence: Categorical Divergence In The Interest Of Information Convergence, 25 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 635 (2008), Sheldon Halpern
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The author shows that convergence has placed trademark law in the center of some of the hard-fought battles over information ownership in intellectual property. From fights over moral rights, to collisions with patents, trademarks in the new technological age have raised questions that he suggests might be better analyzed if the associative nature of trademarks were recognized and applied.

Access To Computer Programs Under The Dmca, 25 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 641 (2008), Dennis S. Karjala
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The author explores the convergences between technology and information in the critical area of computer programs and the DMCA. Examining recent attempts to raise protected access control measures under the DMCA to non-communication related content, he demonstrates that not all fears of unlimited expansion of copyright are justified. To the contrary, courts are showing a remarkable sensitivity to the problem.

Information Governance, 25 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 673 (2008), Michael J. Madison
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The author goes back to the first principles of information governance and discusses what impact the means and methods that we chose to control information has on the nature of information itself. Focusing on the Google Book Project, he suggests an analytical method for considering information access and control issues that avoids privileging any particular player and instead focuses on information governance as a dynamic process.
When Worlds Collide: The Uneasy Convergence Of Creativity And Innovation, 25 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 653 (2008), Doris E. Long
When Worlds Collide: The Uneasy Convergence Of Creativity And Innovation, 25 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 653 (2008), Doris E. Long
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The author contends that in the area of computer software protection convergence has resulted in confusion in the goals of copyright and patent laws to the detriment of both. By confusing “innovation” with “creativity,” she contends that copyright protection has been strained by its efforts to fit the demands of functional code within its expressive protection goals. She concludes by suggesting that we go “back to the future” to resurrect an international sui generis system for software and allow both copyright and patent to go back to their original, and distinctly different, policy goals.
