Privacy And Democracy In Cyberspace, Paul M. Schwartz
Privacy And Democracy In Cyberspace, Paul M. Schwartz
Vanderbilt Law Review
In this Article, Professor Schwartz depicts the widespread, silent collection of personal information in cyberspace. At present, it is impossible to know the fate of the personal data that one generates online. Professor Schwartz argues that this state of affairs degrades the health of a deliberative democracy; it cloaks in dark uncertainty the transmutation of Internet activity into personal information that will follow one into other areas and discourage civic participation. This situation also will have a negative impact on individual self- determination by deterring individuals from engaging in the necessary thinking out loud and deliberation with others upon which …
Opting In, Outing Out, Or No Options At All: The Fight For Control Of Personal Information, Jeff Sovern
Opting In, Outing Out, Or No Options At All: The Fight For Control Of Personal Information, Jeff Sovern
Washington Law Review
Businesses routinely buy and sell personal information about consumers. Many consumers find this objectionable, but relatively few of them opt out of that trade. This Article argues that businesses have both the incentive and the ability to increase consumers' transaction costs in protecting their privacy and that some marketers do in fact inflate those costs. Faced with this and other constraints, many consumers ultimately decide not to protect their privacy. This Article proposes several ways by which consumers' transaction costs can be reduced or eliminated.
Building A Community Through Workplace E-Mail: The New Privacy Frontier, Peter Schnaitman
Building A Community Through Workplace E-Mail: The New Privacy Frontier, Peter Schnaitman
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
The relatively new technology of electronic mail (e-mail) presents an entirely new issue of workplace privacy. Currently, whether a person has a privacy interest in their workplace e-mail communications is as unsettled an issue as it has been since the technology emerged in the early part of this decade as the preferred mode of communication in the workplace. Indeed, e-mail may soon be the preferred mode of communication in general. This comment will argue that all e-mail users have a privacy interest in workplace e-mail communications and that the current law does not afford e-mail users any type of protection …

The Impact Of Constitutional Liability On The Privatization Movement After "Richardson V. Mcknight", Paul H. Morris
The Impact Of Constitutional Liability On The Privatization Movement After "Richardson V. Mcknight", Paul H. Morris
Vanderbilt Law Review
Privatization" is the process of delegating control of a govern- mental function to the private sector. Although privatization is a relatively new words the concept of privatization can be traced back to the very founding of this continent. Christopher Columbus was a private contractor for the Spanish monarch when he accidentally ran into America while trying to find a quicker route to China. Since Columbus' blooper and the subsequent formation of the United States, privatization has been a part of this country's political culture. Over the last twenty years privatization has experienced an unprecedented level of global support and has …

Be My Guest: The Hidden Holding Of Minnesota V. Carter, Edwin J. Butterfoss, Mary Sue B. Snyder
Be My Guest: The Hidden Holding Of Minnesota V. Carter, Edwin J. Butterfoss, Mary Sue B. Snyder
Faculty Scholarship
This Article first examines the Carter case in detail, including the opinions of the state courts and the briefs and oral argument in the United States Supreme Court, before turning to the Court's decision. The Article highlights the importance of Justice Kennedy's concurring opinion and explains the "hidden holding" of the case, raising the question of whether lowercourts will apply the correct rule from the case. The Article argues that the Court's denial of the defendants' claim of a reasonable expectation of privacy, combined with its failure to provide guidance as to when non-overnight visitors in homes will have the …

Computer Software: Patentable Subject Matter Jurisprudence Comes Of Age, 18 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 113 (1999), Indira Saladi
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The Federal Circuit's ruling in State Street Bank Trust Co. v. Signature Financial Group, Inc. represented a paradigm shift in subject matter jurisprudence. Historically, software has been unpatentable because it included a mathematical algorithm, could not pass the physicality test, and was subject to the business methods exception. The State Street ruling expanded the scope of patentable subject matters by focusing on other aspects of patentability such as novelty, nonobviousness, and utility. State Street refreshingly modernizes patent law for improved application to today's evolving high technology industries. In "Computer Software: Patentable Subject Matter Jurisprudence Comes of Age," the author examines …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
This Comment will analyze how courts should interpret the four statutory factors in determining a fair use defense for once private documents, such as love letters, and how the courts need to add First Amendment and public policy concerns in deciding whether to allow the fair use. First, this Comment addresses the current definition of the fair use doctrine and its impact on unpublished works. This Comment will also address the need to create a new fair use defense test to include the First Amendment concerns of secondary authors who cannot create their works without the copyrighted information. Secondly, this …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
This article begins with a comparison of UCITA and UCC Article 2 and shows how much less restraint the drafters had while drafting the UCITA in early 1995. It was during this time that UCC Article 2 was still undergoing revision. This article continues with the author's detailed examination of the underlying major structural and policy defects in UCITA that require the drafters' attention before it is made into law. The author defines the scope of UCITA as being too broad. Furthermore, the author deconstructs and criticizes various sections of UCITA.

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
This article helps to clarify the reader's understanding of issues and concepts relating to UCITA in the midst of legislative drafting efforts to give "birth" to section 2B of the UCITA. Concepts such as the ability to "opt-in" or "out" of the Act, "manifestation of assent," electronic signatures, use of the electronic agent, "mass-market" are fully analyzed and discussed. This article first attempts to outline the drafting process followed by the UCITA drafting committee. Next, the author lays out the objectives of the drafters of the UCITA as it appears in the Prefatory Notes. The author further moves into the …

Making Ucita More Consumer-Friendly, 18 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 547 (2000), Michael L. Rustad
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
In this article, the author supports the enactment of UCITA. In Part II of this article, the author explains why UCITA "simply clarify and modernize" commercial law and should be chosen over Article 2 of UCC. In Part III of the article, the author proposes two amendments to UCITA: 1) Software vendors should be given a minimum standard to follow for its software. According to the author, this would bring more adhesion to consumer transactions. 2) UCITA should be governed by state deceptive trade practice acts. Finally, the author ends by saying that state legislatures would be unable to reach …

Global Trends In Privacy Protection: An International Survey Of Privacy, Data Protection, And Surveillance Laws And Developments, 18 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (1999), David Banisar, Simon Davies
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The right to privacy is one of the most fundamental rights recognized. References to privacy date back to ancient Greece and China. Rapid advances in information technology and high-speed data networks have had an enormous impact on privacy. Today, personal medical and financial information can easily be transmitted with and without the one knowing. Can privacy law keep up with these changes and challenges? Privacy advocates are concerned. Nearly every country in the world has some form of privacy provision in its constitution. However, the definition of privacy differs from context and environment. The authors chronicle the status of privacy …

The Role Of Patent Law In Poland's Transitioning Science And Technology Policy, And A Comparison With The Patent Laws Of The United States, 17 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 381 (1999), Edward H. Sikorski
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Poland is at a critical point in determining whether it will provide the type of intellectual property protection afforded in other countries. Based on its current programs, Poland clearly recognizes that it must improve its infrastructure. It is imperative for Poland to institute and develop new science and technology policies. As a result, Poland must pay attention to issues like privatization and intellectual property because newly privatized companies will lean on patents and other rights as footholds against their competitors. Poland must also address issues concerning physical access and communications and electronic access to the country. Poland's overall science and …
Issued Patents And The Standard Of Proof: Evidence Clear And Convincing Or Merely Ponderous, 17 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 557 (1999), David W. Okey
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Patent cases use a "preponderance of the evidence" standard of proof, unless the validity of a patent is in question, in which case the standard is "clear and convincing evidence." The comment examines the meaning of the standards in their application to United States patent practice. After giving examples with interference and infringement cases, the comment argues that the vast majority of cases are decided on evidence not presented to the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) during prosecution of the patent. The assumption that a patent is valid is based on the thorough examination it receives prior to its allowance …
Congress Must Learn To Surf The Internet If It Ever Wants To Catch The Next Wave Of Securities Fraud, 17 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 589 (1999), Ted A. Smith
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Despite the popularity in the area of securities trading and all of the new challenges the Internet brings to the area of securities fraud, Congress has not chosen to react with new legislation. Instead, Congress has chosen to remedy the problems through the use of existing laws that were written over fifty years ago. This decision by Congress is at odds with other decisions it has made with respect to other areas of law that have been impacted by the Internet. Congress reacted to the effects of the Internet on gambling with proposed legislation aimed specifically at problems the Internet …
Computers And The Discovery Of Evidence - A New Dimension To Civil Procedure, 17 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 411 (1999), Mark D. Robins
Computers And The Discovery Of Evidence - A New Dimension To Civil Procedure, 17 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 411 (1999), Mark D. Robins
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Attorneys are largely unaware of the types of evidence available through computer related sources. Lawyers and courts face similar obstacles in exploring the electronic frontier. The legal community is confronting the dispute between a liberal policy of open access to relevant information and the burdens of computer-related discovery of sensitive, confidential and privileged material. Computers are used to generate, process and store vast amounts of useful information-related evidence. Computers also create discovery hazards when they store damaging information, trade secrets and other proprietary or confidential data. Another discovery problem arises because of the lack of uniformity of spoliation laws over …
How Can Whelan V. Jaslow And Lotus V. Borland Both Be Right? Reexamining The Economics Of Computer Software Reuse, 17 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 511 (1999), Michael Risch
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The various circuit courts of appeal have been unable to agree on the appropriate method of determining when one computer program infringes the copyright in another computer program. This article traces the differences among the circuits, proposes a model to explain what courts are doing, asserts a set of factors that simplify the analysis of determining copyright infringement, and tests those factors against seemingly irreconcilable cases. Finally, the article applies the analysis to unresolved computer software issues of today in order to predict likely outcomes.
