Privacy By Deletion: The Need For A Global Data Deletion Principle, Benjamin J. Keele

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

With global personal information flows increasing, efforts have been made to develop principles to standardize data protection regulations. However, no set of principles has yet achieved universal adoption. This note proposes a principle mandating that personal data be securely destroyed when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Including a data deletion principle in future data protection standards will increase respect for individual autonomy and decrease the risk of abuse of personal data. Though data deletion is already practiced by many data controllers, including it in legal data protection mandates will further the goal …

The Ethics Of E-Mail, Thomas E. Spahn

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

In many ways, communicating by e-mail and other forms of electronic transmission reflects a fundamentally different way of human interaction. Historians eventually will put this in perspective, but one could easily conclude that e-mails are essentially a “third way” for people to communicate.

“Medical” Monitoring For Non-Medical Harms: Evaluating The Reasonable Necessity Of Measures To Avoid Identity Fraud After A Data Breach, James Graves

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

In July 2005, “reformed” hacker Albert Gonzalez noticed an insecure wireless network at a Marshalls department store in Miami. After exploiting the vulnerability, Gonzalez and his accomplices installed programs that captured credit card numbers. They stored the credit card numbers on servers in Latvia and Ukraine, created ATM cards using some of the numbers, and used those cards to withdraw hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash. Fifteen months later, Marshalls’ parent company, TJX, announced that forty-five million of its customers’ credit card numbers had been exposed to the thieves.

Dissonant Paradigms And Unintended Consequences: Can (And Should) The Law Save Us From Technology?, Donald Labriola

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

Technologies like digital audio, the Internet, and broadband communications spur economic growth and foster new patterns of commerce and social interaction. But they also spawn disruptive innovations that force established industries to forge novel responses or risk falling by the wayside. The horse-and-buggy industry, vaudeville, and video-rental stores are but a few examples of thriving markets that found themselves on the scrap heap of obsolescence because they failed to react quickly to the devastating effects of new technology.

Code, Crash, And Open Source: The Outsourcing Of Financial Regulation To Risk Models And The Global Financial Crisis, Erik F. Gerding

Publications

The widespread use of computer-based risk models in the financial industry during the last two decades enabled the marketing of more complex financial products to consumers, the growth of securitization and derivatives, and the development of sophisticated risk-management strategies by financial institutions. Over this same period, regulators increasingly delegated or outsourced vast responsibility for regulating risk in both consumer finance and financial markets to these privately owned industry models. Proprietary risk models of financial institutions thus came to serve as a "new financial code" that regulated transfers of risk among consumers, financial institutions, and investors.

The spectacular failure of financial-industry …

Symbiotic Regulation, 26 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 207 (2008), Andrew Murray

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

In this paper the author points out that complexity is at the heart of much of the work of today’s academia. The paper explains how the role of an academic researcher may be defined as studying and modelling complexity in an effort to make it accessible to a wider audience. This article models the complexity of regulatory relationships in communications networks and in particular the Internet. First, the article models the complexity of the regulatory environment. Next, it explains how regulators may harness the power of the network to achieve effective regulatory settlements by harnessing symbiotic regulation. Finally, it explains …

The Future Of Licensing Music Online: The Role Of Collective Rights Organizations And The Effect Of Territoriality, 25 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 409 (2008), Neil Conley

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The current licensing regime practiced by collective rights organizations (“CROs”) is preventing rights holders from being able to reap the financial benefits that the Internet and digital transmissions of music can provide. The problem is that CROs license online music on a restrictive, national basis where the online transmission of music is worldwide, unrestricted by national boundaries. This territorially restrictive licensing system began in the nineteenth century and was practical for geographically limited methods by which music was played and transmitted. However, licenses to transmit music online or in the digital environment in general are restricted on a national basis …

Informing The Enemy: Feeding The Counter-Intelligence Needs Of Our Adversaries, 25 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 681 (2008), Kenneth J. Ryan

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The author demonstrates how the convergences of technology, national security and an ever expanding media pose critical problems for the protection, dissemination and employment of information for national security purposes. Focusing on the methods and harms posed by the inadvertent and intentional disclosure of operational information, he proposes a three-part remedy that balances transparency with national security concerns and underscores the critical role that any information may hold in these days of heightened security.

Deadly Combinations: A Framework For Analyzing The Gpl’S Viral Effect, 25 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 487 (2008), Ron Phillips

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is free to use and can be downloaded from the Internet. This paper argues that adaptations that combine community source licensed software with an organization’s own intellectual property can trigger “viral” terms of the community source licenses in unexpected ways. The author proposes a model framework for analyzing software combinations to determine whether the viral terms are triggered, and illustrate that analysis against various technical combinations of community-sourced and proprietary software.
