Is The Trips Agreement An Adequate Means To Deal With Unauthorized Copying Of Sound Recordings From The Internet?, Hege Sehested Zakariassen
LLM Theses and Essays
The Internet has expanded vastly in recent years, both in use and utility. It has become one of the most important means of distributors of information in our time. This increasing popularity has also led to "online fraud, theft, piracy, and infringement. The music industry is one of the branches that will experience upheaval in the next few years.

Yet, on the other hand, the Internet could help unknown bands …

Resolving Conflicting International Data Privacy Rules In Cyberspace, Joel R. Reidenberg
Resolving Conflicting International Data Privacy Rules In Cyberspace, Joel R. Reidenberg
Faculty Scholarship
While core principles for the fair treatment of personal information are common to democracies, privacy rights vary considerably across national borders. This article explores the divergences in approach and substance of data privacy between Europe and the United States. It argues that the specific privacy rules adopted in a country have a governance function. The article shows that national differences support two distinct political choices for the roles in democratic society assigned to the state, the market and the individual: either liberal, market-based governance or socially-protective, rights-based governance. These structural divergences make international cooperation imperative for effective data protection in …

This article focuses on three questions of state sales’ tax:
(1) What is the basic structure of states’ sales tax laws and how do these laws apply to electronic commerce?
(2) What are the existing federal constitutional restraints on the states’ power to impose sales taxes and how do those restraints limit the states’ ability to apply their laws to electronic commerce?
(3) What are the restraints on Congress – to whom this commission’s recommendations will be directed – in legislating to limit or expand state taxing power, or otherwise enact rules governing taxation of electronic commerce?

When such dramatic environmental changes occur, drastic changes in the law often follow. 1 The Internet affects the environment in which securities markets operate, and the laws that govern them. 2 The use of the Internet has already begun to …
Progressing Towards A Uniform Commercial Code For Electronic Commerce Or Racing Toward Nonuniformity?, Maureen A. O'Rourke
Progressing Towards A Uniform Commercial Code For Electronic Commerce Or Racing Toward Nonuniformity?, Maureen A. O'Rourke
Faculty Scholarship
The Magaziner Report encourages the development of a consistent commercial law environment against which electronic commerce transactions may take place. The author considers the current legal landscape, noting that while many efforts are underway to codify aspects of electronic commerce, these efforts are piecemeal in nature and may lead to the very lack of uniformity against which the Magaziner Report counsels. The author then briefly considers what lessons may be learned from the drafting history of the original U.C.C. as well as proposed Article 2B (now the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act) governing transactions in computer information. She argues that …
