Tales, Techs And Territories: Private International Law, Globalization, And The Legal Construction Of Borderlessness On The Internet, Andrea Slane
Law and Contemporary Problems
The Internet has often been described as "borderless," owing to the technical features of Internet communications that make content accessible to anyone with a network connection, regardless of his or her location. This borderlessness has been widely thought both to confound legal regimes relying on territoriality and to fundamentally create a crisis for jurisdictional determination of both public- and private-law matters. Here, Slane dissects the images of globalization at work in conflicts cases involving harms caused by postings on the Internet and demonstrates how these images work to produce a coherence for the field of conflicts as well as the …
The Public Domain: Enclosing The Commons Of The Mind, James Boyle
The Public Domain: Enclosing The Commons Of The Mind, James Boyle
Faculty Scholarship
Our music, our culture, our science and our economic welfare all depend on a delicate balance between those ideas that are controlled and those that are free, between intellectual property and the public domain. In his award-winning book, The Public Domain: Enclosing the Commons of the Mind (Yale University Press) James Boyle introduces readers to the idea of the public domain and describes how it is being tragically eroded by our current copyright, patent, and trademark laws. In a series of fascinating case studies, Boyle explains why gene sequences, basic business ideas and pairs of musical notes are now owned, …
The Anarchist In The Coffee House: A Brief Consideration Of Local Culture, The Free Culture Movement, And Prospects For A Global Public Sphere, Siva Vaidhyanathan
The Anarchist In The Coffee House: A Brief Consideration Of Local Culture, The Free Culture Movement, And Prospects For A Global Public Sphere, Siva Vaidhyanathan
Law and Contemporary Problems
Jürgen Habermas' influential historical work, The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere, describes a moment in the social and political history of Europe in which a rising bourgeoisie was able to gather in salons and cafes to discuss matters of public concern. The public sphere represented a set of sites and conventions in the eighteenth century in which (almost exclusively male) members of the bourgeoisie could forge a third space to mediate between domestic concerns and matters of state. Here, Vaidhyanathan examines one particular Public Sphere experiment--the rise of a global Free Culture Movement that aims to limit the spread …

Freedom In The Commons: Towards A Political Economy Of Information, Yochai Benkler
Duke Law Journal
In 1999, George Lucas released a bloated and much maligned “prequel” to the Star Wars Trilogy, called The Phantom Menace. In 2001, a disappointed Star Wars fan made a more tightly cut version, which almost eliminated a main sidekick called Jar-Jar Binks and subtly changed the protagonist—rendering Anakin Skywalker, who was destined to become Darth Vader, a much more somber child than the movie had originally presented. The edited version was named “The Phantom Edit.” Lucas was initially reported amused, but later clamped down on distribution. It was too late. The Phantom Edit had done something that would have been …

Freedom Of Speech, Cyberspace, Harassment Law, And The Clinton Administration, Eugene Volokh
Freedom Of Speech, Cyberspace, Harassment Law, And The Clinton Administration, Eugene Volokh
Law and Contemporary Problems
Volokh presents four cyberspace speech controversies that involve an interesting modern body of speech restrictions: hostile environment harassment law. These examples illustrate three things--in most of the controversies, the result should be driven not by the medium, but by the underlying free speech principles; that the Clinton Administration's role in these areas has been comparatively slight; and that each of the controversies shows that there is considerable truth to the much-maligned concept of the slippery slope.
The First Amendment And Cyberspace: The Clinton Years, James Boyle
The First Amendment And Cyberspace: The Clinton Years, James Boyle
Law and Contemporary Problems
Both in terms of speech regulation and in terms of providing raw material for the legal controversies that shape the law of the First Amendment, the legacy of Pres Clinton's Administration is considerable, and nowhere more than in cyberspace. The most visible example of the Clinton Administration's role in cyberspeech regulation are the Communications Decency Act, which was struck down by unanimous vote of the Supreme Court in 1997, and the Child Online Protection Act, which is now before the courts.
Silencing John Doe: Defamation & Discourse In Cyberspace, Lyrissa Barnett Lidsky
Silencing John Doe: Defamation & Discourse In Cyberspace, Lyrissa Barnett Lidsky
Duke Law Journal
John Doe has become a popular defamation defendant as corporations and their officers bring defamation suits for statements made about them in Internet discussion fora. These new suits are not even arguably about recovering money damages but instead are brought for symbolic reasons-some worthy, some not so worthy. If the only consequence of these suits were that Internet users were held accountable for their speech, the suits would be an unalloyed good. However, these suits threaten to suppress legitimate criticism along with intentional and reckless falsehoods, and existing First Amendment law doctrines are not responsive to the threat these suits …
Attorney-Client Relationships In Cyberspace: The Peril And The Promise, Catherine J. Lanctot
Attorney-Client Relationships In Cyberspace: The Peril And The Promise, Catherine J. Lanctot
Duke Law Journal
Despite the legal profession's historical resistance to technological advances, the burgeoning world of cyberspace is bringing change to the practice of law. As laypeople flock to the Internet to seek help with their legal problems, lawyers are going online to provide such assistance. Yet, these exchanges are occurring without close consideration of whether they create attorney-client relationships-the source of weighty ethical and legal obligations. In many cases, lawyers seek to avoid the consequences of such relationships merely by disclaiming their existence. In this Article, Professor Lanctot examines the issue of lawyer-layperson communications in cyberspace from doctrinal and historical perspectives. The …
