Antitrust Law - A Stranger In The Wikinomics World? Regulating Anti-Competitive Use Of The Drm/Dmca Regime, 27 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (2009), Rachel Aridor-Hershkovitz

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Unlike traditional markets, Information Technology (“IT”) markets are characterized by special and unique features that shall be discussed in this paper. Competition in IT markets is dynamic; nonmarket based information production models (‘peer production’) play a significant role in IT markets; and IT market are usually data market rather than product market. The combination of the legal rule prohibiting circumvention of technological measure under the DMCA and the use of DRMs, created a new regime, the DRM/DMCA regime, which bestows the entertainment industry with a new and strong right to control the access to and use of the copyrighted work. …

Virtual Venues: Improving Online Dispute Resolution As An Alternative To Cost Intensive Litigation, 27 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 81 (2009), Shekhar Kumar

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

This paper looks at the growing presence of online alternative dispute resolution in the commercial setting, with the eventual goal of making suggestions to improve current online systems. While out-of-court dispute resolutions such as arbitration and mediation have been a long-time alternative to lengthy litigation, the development of the internet and other advanced forms of communication has lead to an increased presence of, and increased possibilities for, online dispute resolution. The first section of this paper provides a succinct review of the history of online dispute resolution. The focus of the section is two-pronged. The first prong discusses how technological …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Petitioner, Phillip Nevilson, appeals to the Marshall Supreme Court from a decision affirming the granting of summary judgment in favor of Respondent, Marshoogle, Inc., on his claims of intrusion upon seclusion, publication of private facts, and tortious interference with business expectancy claims. The issues in this case concern whether an individual can state a claim for invasion of privacy against an Internet search engine provider where liability is based on taking a photograph of an individual in his home and the publication of such photograph on a website. The final issue concerns whether the act of publication of the photograph …

2009 John Marshall Law School International Moot Court Competition In Information Technology And Privacy Law: Brief For The Petitioner, 27 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 131 (2009), Megan Peterson, Tyler Rench

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT: As encroaching technologies shrink the realm of privacy and expose intimate details of the home, courts must craft a solution that will provide a remedy to the injured. When Marshoogle’s prying cameras took photographs of Nevilson seated inside his home, they invaded his privacy by intruding into his private area of seclusion and this court should give Nevilson the opportunity to seek a remedy. Because Nevilson was inside his home when the images were captured, he had a reasonable expectation of privacy, which cannot be lost simply by leaving his curtains open. Marshoogle’s cameras were intentionally …


2009 John Marshall Law School International Moot Court Competition In Information Technology And Privacy Law: Brief For The Respondent, 27 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 169 (2009), Michael Jones, Stuart Ladner, Sabrina Stone Jan 2009

2009 John Marshall Law School International Moot Court Competition In Information Technology And Privacy Law: Brief For The Respondent, 27 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 169 (2009), Michael Jones, Stuart Ladner, Sabrina Stone

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT: Nevilson has not raised a genuine issue of material fact on his intrusion upon seclusion claim. First, Nevilson cannot show Marshoogle intentionally invaded Nevilson’s privacy. When Marshoogle captured the images for its Marshall Avenue Perspective feature, no one physically entered Nevilson’s property or used sensory enhancements or telephoto lenses to pry into his private space. Second, Marshoogle’s actions were not highly offensive to a reasonable person because the photographs were not captured in an effort to exploit or defame Nevilson, but rather were captured in an effort to produce a free and effective virtual map for …


Yes, I Destroyed The Evidence - Sue Me? Intentional Spoliation Of Evidence In Illinois, 27 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 235 (2009), Michael A. Zuckerman Jan 2009

Yes, I Destroyed The Evidence - Sue Me? Intentional Spoliation Of Evidence In Illinois, 27 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 235 (2009), Michael A. Zuckerman

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Many Illinois litigators have encountered spoliation of evidence, which is the loss, destruction, or alteration of evidence. Examples of spoliation are seemingly endless and include the failure to preserve the scene of a train derailment, the accidental destruction of evidence on a lawyer’s desk by a janitor, the loss of a heater that exploded, the removal of wires from a car that caught on fire, the loss and alteration of medical equipment, and the intentional erasing of a computer image relevant to a copyright lawsuit. To combat spoliation, Illinois and many other states have developed common law and statutory methods …


Extending The Exclusionary Rule: Enforcing Data Quality In National Security Databases And Watch Lists, 27 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 257 (2009), Christine M. Whalley Jan 2009

Extending The Exclusionary Rule: Enforcing Data Quality In National Security Databases And Watch Lists, 27 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 257 (2009), Christine M. Whalley

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Since its inception, the exclusionary rule has been aimed at deterring misconduct by police officers and law enforcement agents. It is widely believed to deter deliberate, reckless, grossly, or systemic negligent conduct by law enforcement agents. Increased reliance by law enforcement agencies and their agents on expansive, interconnected information suggests that the exclusionary rule needs to be expanded beyond just the acts of the officers and agents and be applied to the agency itself where there is evidence that poor data quality standards produced the reckless or negligent conduct. When so much of our liberty rests on the quality of …

The Computer Fraud And Abuse Act: Reassessing The Damage Requirement, 27 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 279 (2009), Matthew Andris

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

This comment explores whether a civil plaintiff needs to claim actual damage to a protected computer to recover against a defendant under the CFAA. Several courts have noted that there is little case law regarding damages, and the case law that exists does not help define the reach of damages. Currently, courts are split as to whether a computer system needs to have actual physical damage in order for recovery under the CFAA. Additionally, courts have not adequately addressed how to assess damages, including whether damages may be aggregated across multiple computer systems. The Third, Fifth, and Ninth Circuit Courts …

The Future Of Privacy Policies: A Privacy Nutrition Label Filled With Fair Information Practices, 26 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (2008), Corey A. Ciocchetti

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The article looks at the threats accompanying online shopping, such as identity theft and aggregated data files. Such issues arise when companies carelessly lose laptops filled with unencrypted data or callously sell data on the open market with collected personally identifying information (PII). The article explains that although privacy policies are supposed to force companies to strengthen their privacy practices they are not always effective because companies often post inconspicuous, vague and legalese-filled policies. These ambiguous postings cause online shoppers to blindly submit PII and ignore privacy practices completely. The article proposes a solution to this problem through the standardization …

Opening The Red Cross International Tracing Service Archive, 26 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 161 (2008), Kenneth Waltzer

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The Red Cross International Tracing Service Archive in Bad Arolsen contains nearly 17.5 million names and nearly 50 million World War II and post-war era documents. The Bonn Accords designated the International Tracing Service (“ITS”) as the sole caretaker of these documents. A recent revision to the Bonn Accords has resulted in a reopening of archives at Bad Arolsen. ITS has started to digitize materials, and the data has been distributed to designated research institutions. The revision also resulted in access to the archives for research purposes. This expanded availability of the information has raised a number of important questions …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The article discusses the challenges to the protection of private personal information in the age of rapid technological changes and advances with a particular focus on the explosion of Identity Theft Crime (IDC). The paper highlights the compartmentalized and imbalanced roles that the free market and law enforcement (LE) play in response to this emerging threat to privacy, the implications of this dynamic, and recommendations for improving the societal risk management of Identity Crime.


United States V. Andrus: Password Protect Your Roommate, Not Your Computer, 26 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 183 (2008), Sarah M. Knight Jan 2008

United States V. Andrus: Password Protect Your Roommate, Not Your Computer, 26 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 183 (2008), Sarah M. Knight

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The article looks at the decision in United States v. Andrus, where it was determined that the police could obtain consent from a father to search an adult son’s computer without first checking if the father who gave consent know the password and therefore had apparent authority to search. The police used Encase, software designed to make a forensic copy of a hard drive, without even turning on the computer. The 10th Circuit majority opinion decided the police committed no error when they conducted the search. The article’s author argues that the dissenting opinion took the correct position in its …

Wikipedia Made Law? The Federal Judicial Citation Of Wikipedia, 26 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 229 (2008), Amber Lynn Wagner

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

In this comment the author examines the new and growing body of federal opinions citing Wikipedia an authoritative source. The comment details how Wikipedia articles are generated, and the ease with which anyone can edit them, to illustrate their shortcomings as sources for making judicial determinations. The author provides examples of federal cases where judges rely on Wikipedia to define terms ranging from colloquial phrases to medical equipment. The author points out that in spite of several academic institutions and the U.S. Trade and Patent Office banning it as a source, federal judges continue to rely on Wikipedia in their …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Petitioner, Alex Romero (“Romero”), appeals to the Marshall Supreme Court from an order granting summary judgment in favor of Respondent, Windbucket Entertainment, LLC (“Windbucket”). Romero’s lawsuit alleged that Windbucket and a third party (not a party to the present appeal) were liable to him for invasion of privacy by intrusion upon seclusion. Romero then sought discovery sanctions against Windbucket for violations of Marshall Rule of Civil Procedure 37. The issues in the case concern whether a subscriber to an Internet-based, multiplayer computer game can state a valid invasion of privacy claim against the game’s publisher, when liability is based on …

Bringing An End To Warrantless Cell Phone Searches, Bryan A. Stillwagon Jan 2008

Bringing An End To Warrantless Cell Phone Searches, Bryan A. Stillwagon

Georgia Law Review

Cell phones keep society connected, and exploring their contents reveals a glimpse into the user's life. As technology develops and these phones advance, this glimpse becomes a more complete picture of the user's life. The Fourth Amendment speaks of a right to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures, but this right is threatened when judges permit the few exceptions to the warrant requirement to envelop the general rule. This Note begins with a brief review of the history of both cellphones and warrantless searches, followed by the recent history of warrantless cell phone searches. While focusing on the search- …


Network Neutrality: Justifiable Discrimination, Unjustifiable Discrimination, And The Bright Line Between Them, Noel Semple Aug 2007

Network Neutrality: Justifiable Discrimination, Unjustifiable Discrimination, And The Bright Line Between Them, Noel Semple

Canadian Journal of Law and Technology

This paper proposes a bright line test to guide the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (‘‘CRTC’’) in regulating ‘‘network neutrality’’. When Internet service providers seek to discriminate between uses and users in administering their networks, the CRTC should ask whether the proposed discrimination is a reasonable effort to make the price paid by each user commensurate to the demands which his or her use places on the network. Discrimination which meets this description should be tolerated if not actively encouraged, because it encourages the economically efficient allocation of scarce bandwidth. All other forms of ISP discrimination — including discrimination based …
