Quibbles'n Bits: Making A Digital First Sale Doctrine Feasible, Victor F. Calaba
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review

Part II describes the first sale doctrine as it has traditionally been applied to non-digital works. Part III discusses modern technology's impact on the distribution and use of copyrighted material. …

Marking Carnivore's Territory: Rethinking Pen Registers On The Internet, Anthony E. Orr
Marking Carnivore's Territory: Rethinking Pen Registers On The Internet, Anthony E. Orr
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
"Carnivore" entered the online world's collective consciousness in June 2000 when the Federal Bureau of Investigation unveiled the Internet surveillance software program to telecommunications industry specialists. The FBI claims the program allows agents to scan the traffic of an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for messages or commands to or from a criminal suspect and then intercept only those messages, capturing copies of e-mails, web site downloads and other file transfers[...] A central issue in the controversy surrounding Carnivore is whether current law permits the FBI to employ the program in the Internet context. Bureau officials claim statutory authority for deployments …

Symposium Introduction: Napster: Innocent Innovation Or Egregious Infringement, Gregory P. Magarian
Scholarship@WashULaw
Napster is gone for now, but the fissures it opened in our understanding of intellectual property will challenge lawyers for a long time.

Thousands upon thousands of users could sign on to the Napster site at any given time, offer MP3 files for downloading, and in turn download any files that any …

Suing The Insecure?: A Duty Of Care In Cyberspace, Stephen E. Henderson, Matthew E. Yarbrough
Stephen E Henderson
The Internet, already of major significance throughout much of the globe, is expected to become increasingly pervasive in diverse arenas, from health care, to commerce, to entertainment, and is expected to become increasingly critical to essential infrastructures, including banking, power, and telecommunications. Yet the medium is both inherently and unnecessarily insecure. In particular, today’s Internet can be crippled by distributed denial-of-service attacks launched by relatively unsophisticated and judgment-proof parties. Not every computing system involved in such attacks, however, is necessarily without resources. Application of traditional negligence liability, coupled with other government incentives and support institutions, will encourage better security and …
