Privacy Concern In Google Voice Call Recording, Michael Katz, James Tuthill
Privacy Concern In Google Voice Call Recording, Michael Katz, James Tuthill
Michael Katz
The Federal Communications Commission, taking note of AT&T's complaint, has written to Google with questions about its call blocking. But the implications for our privacy of software-managed call services like Google Voice are a much greater threat to consumers, and that's where the FCC should direct its energy - immediately.

Survey Of The Law Of Cyberspace: Electronic Contracting Cases 2006-2007, Juliet Moringiello, William Reynolds
William L. Reynolds
In this annual survey, we discuss the electronic contracting cases decided between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007.

We conclude that whatever doctrinal doubt judges and scholars may once have had about applying standard contract law to electronic transactions, those doubts have now been largely resolved, and that the decisions involving electronic contracts are following the general law of contracts pretty closely.

Ben Depoorter
This Article examines the symbiotic relationship between copyright law and technology.

I argue that uncertainty and delay (1) have an enabling effect on anticopyright sentiments, (2) lead to a greater reliance on self-help efforts by content providers and users, and (3) induce legislative involvement in copyright law. In the final …

A Comment On James Grimmelmann’S Saving Facebook, Susan Freiwald
Susan Freiwald
This paper comments on Professor James Grimmelmann’s article Saving Facebook (94 Iowa L. Rev. 1137 (2009) http://http://works.bepress.com/james_grimmelmann/20). provides a useful analysis of the privacy debates surrounding this social networking web site. Grimmelmann provides valuable sociological and psychological material for future legislators to draw on in considering legislative control of Facebook and similar sites. Grimmelmann uses Facebook to provide concrete examples of privacy concerns to build on the more general framework provided by the works of Daniel Solove. The comment does take exception to Grimmelmann’s analysis in several points. Chief among these is Grinnlemann’s lack of evidence in support of his …
