Federal Tax Consequences Of Virtual World Transactions, G. Martin Bingisser

Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts

This article discusses the tax consequences of transactions involving Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (“MMORPGs”). MMORPGs have recently grown in popularity and developed significant economic activity. Virtual goods used in these games are traded for both real and virtual currency. While few dispute that a sale of virtual goods for real currency is a taxable event, more complex tax issues arise concerning transactions that occur solely within virtual worlds. This article analyzes the tax consequences and policy issues surrounding such transactions.

The Content Of Consumer Law Classes, Jeff Sovern

Faculty Publications

Attendees at the University of Houston Law Center Conference titled Teaching Consumer Law: The Who, What, Where, Why, When and How were surveyed to determine what topics they covered in consumer law classes. Twenty-five responses were received, representing fourteen survey classes, five clinics, and six miscellaneous responses. The responses indicated considerable diversity in the topics covered. No topic was covered by more than 21 professors and each of the 32 topics listed on the survey instrument was discussed by at least four professors. Under the circumstances, it seems difficult to claim that consumer protection classes have a canon agreed upon …

Age Verification As A Shield For Minors On The Internet: A Quixotic Search?, Francoise Gilbert

Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts

This article examines the issues raised by the use of the Internet by minors and children. In addition to being an outstanding source of information and a tool for connecting people in numerous affinity networks, the Internet has a dark side. Its resources may be abused for many bad deeds, including cyber bullying or facilitating encounters with child predators. One way to protect minors is to ensure that their age and identity is verified. However, this is not technically feasible without infringing on the privacy of these children as well as that of the adults who might have to be …

Ethical Duties To Prospective Clients Who Send Unsolicited Emails, Nicole Lindquist

Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts

Recent Iowa and Massachusetts ethics opinions declared that an attorney may owe ethical obligations to prospective clients who send the attorney just a single email regarding legal assistance. These ethics opinions are part of a trend whereby jurisdictions are extending the duty of confidentiality to prospective clients who send unsolicited emails to attorneys, when those persons reasonably believe that the conveyed information will be held in confidence. These opinions highlight the importance for all attorneys to disclaim duties of confidentiality and representation, particularly when advertising online. This article discusses ethical opinions regarding prospective clients who send unsolicited emails and concludes …

Tobacco Control And The Role Of Litigation: A Survey Of Issues In Law, Policy, And Economics, Basil C. Bitas, Pedro P. Barros

University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review

This article examines the course of tobacco litigation in the United States and its implications for law and policy on both the national and international levels. In our view, the disparate legal traditions and attitudes of countries outside the United States will lead the majority of such states to opt for the direct and transparent regulation of tobacco activities through formal and perhaps consensual channels. This will likely promote effective tobacco control without the policy mix encompassing a period of prolonged litigation buttressed by settlement and regulation, which has characterized the U.S. process. Therefore, despite some increased litigation in the …

Congressional Response To Wto Sanctions: Turning Lemons Into Lemonade In The American Jobs Creation Act Of 2004, Robin Organek

University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review

A unique tension exists between the World Trade Organization's various desires to level the international commercial trading field, and the United States' periodic desires to prioritize its own domestic goods and, in some cases, protect its own corporate citizens. This article will explore various historical rifts and what the future is likely to hold in light of Congress' passage of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.

Border Searches Of Laptop Computers After United States V. Arnold: Implications For Traveling Professionals, Cooper Offenbecher

Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recently held that border searches of laptop computers do not require reasonable suspicion. The decision, in United States v. Arnold, reflects the continued intent of the Ninth Circuit—along with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals—to continue analyzing laptop computer searches under the traditional border search doctrine. This article will examine recent laptop computer search cases in light of the border search doctrine and will consider the implications for lawyers and business professionals who travel abroad with confidential information on laptops and other electronic-storage devices. The article will also consider the implications of such …

Sunstein1s And 2s, Tracey E. George, Paul H. Edelman

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

In Six Degrees of Cass Sunstein: Collaboration Networks in Legal Scholarship, we began the study of the legal academy's collaboration network. When mathematicians discuss the nature of collaboration in their field they focus on the most influential collaborator in the discipline-- Paul Erdos, the peripatetic Hungarian mathematician who authored over 1500 papers with over 450 different collaborators before his death in 1996. They introduced the concept of the Erdos Number, which is the number of degrees of separation between a mathematician and Erdos.
