Diana's Law, Celebrity And The Paparazzi: The Continuing Search For A Solution, 18 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 945 (2000), Richard J. Curry Jr.

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Celebrities and the media possess a unique relationship. Many celebrities skillfully use the media to market and advertise their movies, television shows, books, and records. They use the media to propel their careers and create a marketable celebrity image. Society is celebrity crazed and magazines, tabloids and other media forms such as Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood have combined to feed that craze. Our society's hunger for celebrities has spawned the existence of photographers known as the paparazzi. Armed with zoom lenses, high-powered microphones, and the promise of huge cash rewards for an exclusive celebrity expose, the paparazzi have become …

Falling Into The Gap: The European Union's Data Protection Act And Its Impact On U.S. Law And Commerce, 18 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 981 (2000), Marie Clear

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The European Union ("E.U.") has been economically consolidating for some time, but the US appeared to feel this new composite player was relatively benign. In the past few years, though, the E.U. Has started asserting itself and setting rules in the game of international commercial gamesmanship. Until recently, the rules were limited to specific products and practices. This year, however, the E.U. changed the rules about how it would do business and, more significantly, how it would not. The E.U.'s Data Protection Directive came into force early in 2000 and presented the US with a huge dilemma: If the US …


The Case For A U.S. Privacy Commissioner: A Canadian Commissioner’S Perspective, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (2000), William S. Challis, Ann Cavoukian Jan 2000

The Case For A U.S. Privacy Commissioner: A Canadian Commissioner’S Perspective, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (2000), William S. Challis, Ann Cavoukian

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The demands of social democratic government, the growth of electronic commerce, and the advance of technology have fueled the debate over internet privacy. Technology offers unprecedented opportunities but can also become tools of abuse. Debate in the United States centers around the conflicting interests of industry self-control versus government regulation. Technological and market-based solutions are ineffective because they lead to inadequate and inconsistent protection. Many user-driven privacy choices can impede the growth of consumer trust. Voluntarily adopted privacy policies are either extremely limited or easily circumvented with tracking technology that allows no consumer control over the collection of their personal …


Regulating The Free Flow Of Information: A Privacy Czar As The Ultimate Big Brother, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 37 (2000), Jonathan M. Winer Jan 2000

Regulating The Free Flow Of Information: A Privacy Czar As The Ultimate Big Brother, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 37 (2000), Jonathan M. Winer

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The free flow if information is critical to open society. In the United States, the tradition of open information provides the intellectual oxygen for the development American freedom, knowledge, technology, and commerce. In contrast to the right to communicate and obtain information, privacy is not an established right in the United States, except with respect to physical trespass by the government and reproductive freedom. A federal privacy czar would necessarily limit the unauthorized collection, use, and dissemination of personal information. Privacy czars invariably become privacy advocates and take active stances to discourage the free flow of information about persons and …

Recent Developments In Private Sector Personal Data Protection In Australia: Will There Be An Upside Down Under, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 71 (2000), Paul Kelly

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Although the United States enacted the one of the first data protection laws, many Americans are suspicious of European data protection regulations. The U.S. and Japan are notable exceptions to the modern trend toward comprehensive informational privacy regulation. European data protection laws are stricter, more comprehensive, and more bureaucratic than non-European counterparts. Newer regulatory models, such as those introduced in Australia, provide an acceptable compromise between the American self-regulatory approach and the comprehensive European approach. Australia has a federal agency responsible for administering its information privacy laws and is moving towards a co-regulatory approach between government and the private sector.

Protecting Individual On-Line Privacy Rights: Making The Case For A Separately Dedicated, Independent Regulatory Agency, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 93 (2000), Jack Karnes

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Few issues have caused more legal consternation than the level to which individual online privacy rights should be protected. Modern equipment and software enables those who seek to violate privacy rights render a less knowledgeable citizen helpless. Traditional privacy protection is inadequate to protect a fundamental right. Neither Congress nor the courts have dealt with the issue in an effective manner like they have dealt with other areas like telephone and wireless phone communications. The online privacy dilemma is reaching a crisis point. Employers are able to monitor employees’ uses of equipment to prevent any and all personal uses of …


The De Facto Federal Privacy Commission, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 109 (2000), Steven Hetcher Jan 2000

The De Facto Federal Privacy Commission, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 109 (2000), Steven Hetcher

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The United States is well on its way to having a federal agency that regulates online privacy. In the last five years, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has assumed increasing jurisdiction over online privacy. The FTC’s true intent to regulate online privacy became evident when it recommended that Congress enact legislation to strengthen its growing power to regulate internet privacy. The FTC uses threats of administrative enforcement actions to guide industry self-regulation through the use of unfair trade practices actions. The FTC acts because consumers feel entitled to data privacy and promotes Web site privacy practices through education and attempts …

Toward An Architecture Of Privacy For The Virtual World, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 151 (2000), Paul Toscano

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The internet is expanding. As users become more computer literate, the world becomes more reliant on the virtual one. The internet and wireless communications have fostered global commerce on an unprecedented scale. Because it lacks boundaries, cyberspace is difficult for regulate with traditional methods of governance. Security, privacy, and integrity of information are thus available to only a minority of users in restricted communities. Outside, users are on their own or must rely on the partial solutions available to them. To date, there is no consensus on what security, privacy, and integrity of information really mean. The internet needs a …


The Establishment Of A U.S. Federal Data Protection Agency To Define And Regulate Internet Privacy And Its Impact On Us-China Relations: Marco Polo, Where Are You?, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 169 (2000), Omar Saleem Jan 2000

The Establishment Of A U.S. Federal Data Protection Agency To Define And Regulate Internet Privacy And Its Impact On Us-China Relations: Marco Polo, Where Are You?, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 169 (2000), Omar Saleem

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The desire to explore new worlds and to exchange ideas and goods should be the impetus behind the Internet, the virtual Silk Road connecting the east and west. The Chinese government considers the Internet a vital part of its modernization plans. There are millions of Chinese citizens online and that number continues to grow. China’s policy towards online privacy regulation will have a significant impact on the rest of the world. Technology has outpaced law in the arena of privacy regulation. Some scholars believe the Internet should be unregulated. Others fear that commerce will overrun privacy concerns. The sheer volume …


Database Nation: Does Information Technology Of The 21st Century Pose A Daunting Threat To Personal Privacy In America, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 197 (2000), Robert S. Gurwin, Nicole D. Milos Jan 2000

Database Nation: Does Information Technology Of The 21st Century Pose A Daunting Threat To Personal Privacy In America, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 197 (2000), Robert S. Gurwin, Nicole D. Milos

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

In this book review of Simon Garfinkel's "Database Nation: The death of privacy in the 21st century," the author echoes George Orwell's prophetic vision of a totalitarian government prying on citizens' privacy in "1984." However, Database Nation presents a future where privacy has become a costly commodity: individuals fight dearly to hold such privacy from prying eyes. From the history of information age to advocating privacy protection legislations, the author discusses how Garfinkel pieces together the forming of the database nation. From health care providers to credit bureaus and from satellite surveillance to consumer purchasing habits, Garfinkel urges readers to …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

In this bench memo, the high court is asked to decide two issues: whether the information disseminated by defendant invaded plaintiff's privacy as defined by the Restatement (Second) of Torts governing public disclosure of private facts; and whether defendant's use of cookie technology to gather the information displayed about plaintiff constituted an invasion of her privacy.

The Racialization Of Sexuality: The Queer Case Of Jeffrey Dahmer, Ian Barnard Jan 2000

The Racialization Of Sexuality: The Queer Case Of Jeffrey Dahmer, Ian Barnard

English Faculty Books and Book Chapters

"In this article I read media and subcultural representations of Jeffrey Dahmer, the white male U.S. serial killer who gained notoriety in the late 1980s for having sex with and then murdering and dismembering men of color in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My aim is to show the extent to which the degree of Dahmer's homosexualization in a particular representation determines Dahmer' s thinking and actions in the sphere of race, and to suggest how spiraling efforts to separate race from sexuality in the Dahmer case only further intricate the two analytic axes."

Unsung Heroines: Women And Natural Disasters, Mary Schwoebel Jan 2000

Unsung Heroines: Women And Natural Disasters, Mary Schwoebel

Conflict Resolution Studies Faculty Articles

Although women play crucial parts in disaster preparedness, mitigation, and recovery, their roles in disasters are often overlooked or ignored. However, history shows that when disasters strike, women sometimes form spontaneous associations to assist relief and recovery efforts. At other times, women's organizations direct their resources for disaster relief and recovery. Women's organizations also partner with international disaster assistance agencies to expedite relief efforts. Are women more vulnerable to disasters? What are women's capabilities for responding to disasters? What can international organizations do to integrate women more effectively into disaster planning and recovery? Vulnerabilities and Risks The circumstances of women's …
