Fighting Freestyle: The First Amendment, Fairness, And Corporate Reputation, Rebecca Tushnet
Fighting Freestyle: The First Amendment, Fairness, And Corporate Reputation, Rebecca Tushnet
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
There are three distinct groups who might want to engage in speech about commercial entities or to constrain those commercial entities from making particular claims of their own. Competitors may sue each other for false advertising, consumers may sue businesses, and government regulators may impose requirements on what businesses must and may not say. In this context, this Article will evaluate a facially persuasive but ultimately misguided claim about corporate speech: that because consumers regularly get to say nasty things about corporations under the lax standards governing defamation of public figures, corporations must be free to make factual claims subject …

La presente nota critica la solución adoptada por el Juez de Primera Instancia en la acción colectiva PADEC PREVENCION ASESORAMIENTO Y DEFENSA DEL CONSUM. C/ CITIBANK N.A. S/ SUMARISIMO, sentencia de fecha 8 de octubre de 2009, por la cual se rechazó una acción colectiva pretendida por una asociación de consumidores, utilizándose como argumento para el rechazo del caso la falta de delimitación de la clase representada y la consecuente falta de homogeneidad en el reclamo de los miembros de la clase.
Consumer Interest In Corporate Law, David Yosifon
Consumer Interest In Corporate Law, David Yosifon
Faculty Publications
This Article provides a comprehensive assessment of the consumer interest in dominant theories of the corporation and in the fundamental doctrines of corporate law. In so doing, the Article fills a void in contemporary corporate law scholarship, which has failed to give sustained attention to consumers in favor of exploring the interests of other corporate stakeholders, especially shareholders, creditors, and workers. Utilizing insights derived from the law and behavioralism movement, this Article examines, in particular, the limitations of the shareholder primacy norm at the heart of prevailing "nexus of contracts" and "team production" theories of the firm. The Article concludes …

Competencia Desleal En La Modalidad De Ambush Marketing: ¿Realmente Debe Preocuparnos?, Gustavo M. Rodríguez García
Gustavo M. Rodríguez García
Ambush marketing is calling for the attention of specialists around the world because of recent legal proposals in order to regulate this practice. In Peru, unfair competition law may be the way to respond to ambush marketing. However, is it really a problem that law should solve? or is it just the natural reaction of competitors in the market? is it unfair o simply agressive competition?

The Price Of Abuse: Intel And The European Commission Decision, Robert H. Lande
All Faculty Scholarship
The May 13, 2009 decision by the European Commission ('EC') holding that Intel violated Article 82 of the Treaty of Rome and should be fined a record amount and prohibited from engaging in certain conduct, set off a predictable four part chorus of denunciations:
- Intel did nothing wrong and was just competing hard;
- Intel's discounts were good for consumers;;
- The entire matter is just another example of Europeans protecting their own against a more efficient U.S. company; and;
- Even if Intel did engage in anticompetitive activity, the fine was much too large. These assertions will be addressed in turn.;
The Duty Of Care And The Data Control Systems In The Wake Of Sarbanes-Oxley, Michael R. Siebecker
The Duty Of Care And The Data Control Systems In The Wake Of Sarbanes-Oxley, Michael R. Siebecker
Chicago-Kent Law Review
The essay examines the wisdom of exempting small public companies from Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), which requires companies to provide management assessment and external auditing of a company's internal control systems over financial data. In particular, the essay questions whether a fiduciary duty of care might require officers and directors to adopt internal control systems, perhaps substantially similar to those envisioned by SOX, even if small public companies were exempt from the ambit of the statute.
Unlocking The Wireless Safe: Opening Up The Wireless World For Consumers, Adam Clay
Unlocking The Wireless Safe: Opening Up The Wireless World For Consumers, Adam Clay
Federal Communications Law Journal
Facing resistance to the use of its Voice-over-Internet Protocol application on mobile phones, in February 2007, Skype Communications filed a petition with the FCC asking for application of the Carterfone standards to the wireless phone industry. This Note discusses Carterfone and the merits of Skype's petition in light of the recent auction of the C Block, which carries open network requirements, and developments in wireless technology. This Note argues that the FCC should require carriers to provide technical standards for access to their networks, whereby individuals will be able to connect any approved device and application of their choosing.
Who Needs Tickets? Examining Problems In The Growing Online Ticket Resale Industry, Clark P. Kirkman
Who Needs Tickets? Examining Problems In The Growing Online Ticket Resale Industry, Clark P. Kirkman
Federal Communications Law Journal
The Internet has dramatically changed the methods by which people purchase tickets to events. In the past decade, the secondary ticket market has grown exponentially, and today the online ticket resale industry is valued at approximately $4 billion. Although there are consumer benefits to this industry growth, some of the industry practices have precipitated a consumer backlash. This was typified in 2007 when many parents, hoping to purchase tickets to the Hannah Montana "Best of Both Worlds Tour," watched as tickets sold out online in only a few minutes or less. Coupled with this episode was the Ticketmaster v. RMG …
Reasons Why We Should Amend The Constitution To Protect Privacy, Deborah Pierce
Reasons Why We Should Amend The Constitution To Protect Privacy, Deborah Pierce
Chicago-Kent Law Review
Threats to consumer privacy are many, and varied. Some threats come from corporate entities such as data aggregators and social networking sites; while others come from panoptics government surveillance systems such as Secure Flight. Not only can the data be compromised, but consumers may be adversely affected by incorrect information in their files. The time may be right to explicitly protect privacy via a constitutional amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Coding Privacy, Lilian Edwards
Coding Privacy, Lilian Edwards
Chicago-Kent Law Review
Lawrence Lessig famously and usefully argues that cyberspace is regulated not just by law but also by norms, markets and architecture or "code." His insightful work might also lead the unwary to conclude, however, that code is inherently anti-privacy, and thus that an increasingly digital world must therefore also be increasingly devoid of privacy. This paper argues briefly that since technology is a neutral tool, code can be designed as much to fight for privacy as against it, and that what matters now is to look at what incentivizes the creation of pro- rather than anti-privacy code in the mainstream …

Our information society is creating parallel systems: one for those with income, education and literacy connections, giving plentiful information at low cost and high speed: the other are those without connections, blocked by high barriers of time, cost and uncertainty and dependent upon outdated information. Hence it can be expressed the DD is nothing but a reflection of social divide. The question is what is the best strategy to construct an information society that is ethically sound? Most people have the views that ICT and underlying ideologies are neutral. This Technology has become so much naturalized that it can no …
Consumer Debt - Are Credit Cards Bankrupting Americans: Hearing Before The Subcomm. On Commercial & Administrative Law Of The H. Comm. On The Judiciary, 111th Cong., April 2, 2009 (Statement Of Associate Professor Adam J. Levitin, Geo. U. L. Center), Adam J. Levitin
Testimony Before Congress
I urge the Congress to take up a comprehensive program of credit card reform legislation. While repealing parts of the BAPCPA is a key element to creating a fair and sustainable card lending industry, that alone will not eliminate predatory lending models. Instead, I strongly urge the Congress to consider mandating term standardization and price structure simplification for credit cards.

Abusive Credit Card Practices And Bankruptcy: Hearing Before The S. Comm. On The Judiciary, 111th Cong., March 24, 2009 (Statement Of Associate Professor Adam J. Levitin, Geo. U. L. Center), Adam J. Levitin
Testimony Before Congress
The Marquette decision created a regulatory arbitrage possibility that set off a regulatory race to the bottom. Congress should act to close this loophole. There is a reasonable debate to be had on usury regulations, but that is one that should be held in legislatures, not determined by the Supreme Court's interpretation of a hoary statute. A 1970s interpretation of an 1863 law should not be what determines 21st century consumer credit regulation. Congress should permit the states, the laboratories of democracy, to go further than S.257 if they wish in regulating high-interest-rate consumer credit. This essential consumer protection power …

Modernizing Consumer Protection In The Financial Regulatory System; Strengthening Credit Card Protections: Hearing Before The S. Comm. On Banking, Housing, And Urban Affairs, 111th Cong., Feb. 12, 2009 (Statement Of Associate Professor Adam J. Levitin, Geo. U. L. Center), Adam J. Levitin
Testimony Before Congress
Transparent pricing is a prerequisite for an efficient, competitive market and responsible consumer behavior. If the card industry were required to price its products in a straightforward manner, and it were less costly for consumers to switch cards, deceptive practices would be harder to maintain, Truth-in-Lending disclosures would be more effective, as consumers would be able to easily compare cards and make informed decisions about card usage, and competitive pressures would push down total card, prices, forcing the card industry to operate more efficiently, benefiting all consumers.
I strongly urge Congress to pass legislation that creates transparency in credit card …
Revitalizing Section 5 Of The Ftc Act Using “Consumer Choice” Analysis, Robert H. Lande
Revitalizing Section 5 Of The Ftc Act Using “Consumer Choice” Analysis, Robert H. Lande
All Faculty Scholarship
This paper makes two points. First, Section 5 of the FTC Act, properly construed, is indeed significantly broader and more encompassing than the Sherman Act or Clayton Act. Section 5 violations include incipient violations of the other antitrust laws, and also violations of their policy or spirit.
Second, the best - and probably the only - way to interpret Section 5 in an expansive manner is to do so in a way that also is relatively definite, predictable, principled and clearly bounded. This best can be done if Section 5 is articulated using the consumer choice framework. Without the discipline …
