The Computer Fraud And Abuse Act - A New Perspective: Let The Punishment Fit The Damage, 12 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 445 (1993), Joseph P. Daly

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

This comment discusses computer virus crimes under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986. More specifically, it addresses the inadequate sentencing scheme of this act. The comment first discusses computer viruses in general and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

It also illustrates the utility of such a scheme in both current criminal and civil law. It then discusses the ways in which computer virus damages can be quantified. The conclusion of this comment is …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

This article focuses on computer industry trade barriers in Mexico that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) will eliminate. The two trade barriers that have caused problems for the U.S. in exporting computer products and services into Mexico are high protective tariffs and software piracy. NAFTA is needed by American vendors and manufacturers of computer products and services in order to keep from remaining as outsiders to Mexico’s market. This comment first discusses the background on trade relations between the United States and Mexico. It then demonstrates why NAFTA is essential to increased computer exports into Mexico, which includes …

An Analysis That Is Not "Ad Hoc": The Bifurcated Uniform Analysis That The Federal Courts Should Follow To Determine Computer Program Copyright Nonliteral Infringement, 12 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 485 (1993), Michael J. Bendel

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

This article examines the issues surrounding software copyright protection and the problem of inconsistent court analysis across the country. After reviewing the problems particular to software copyright, the author recommends a new course of court analysis that would bring consistent analysis and decisions to this growing area of law. Courts have begun to examine the scope of protection the Copyright Act grants to computer software beyond the literal text of the software's programming language. Two classifications for computer programs have developed: literal, which focuses on the actual text of the program, and non-literal, which is concerned with organization, structure and …

It Walks Like A Duck, Talks Like A Duck, . . . But Is It A Duck? Making Sense Of Substantial Similarity Law As It Applies To User Interfaces , Ellen M. Bierman

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment recommends how courts should apply the substantial similarity analysis to user interfaces. Specifically, this Comment (1) delineates the state of the law in the Ninth Circuit and explains how the recent changes should be interpreted with respect to user interfaces; (2) establishes an analytic framework for evaluating proposed substantial similarity tests through the enumeration of a set of goals specific to user interfaces; and (3) uses this analytic framework to evaluate and endorse a test that applies traditional copyright doctrine to a logical and consistent manner.

Part one also suggests the use of available tools for uniform application; and brings the topic of dissemination of interpretation of the Convention up to date. Although article 7 of the Convention generally states an approach to interpretation, further elucidation is necessary to ensure uniformity of application. Accordingly, Part II discusses the various approaches to treaty interpretation …

Automatic Generation Of A Legal Expert System, Layman E. Allen, Charles S. Saxon Jan 1991

Automatic Generation Of A Legal Expert System, Layman E. Allen, Charles S. Saxon

Book Chapters

The use of the AUTOPROLOG system to generate automatically a legal expert system is described in this chapter. The interpretation of a statutory or other legal rule by one expert (or by the consensus of a group of experts) expressed in a normalized form is the only input needed by the AUTOPROLOG system (which includes Turbo Prolog, the AUTOPRO program, and some data files) to produce automatically a computer program that is an expert system for that legal rule. The process for producing a legal expert system for Section 213.1 of the Modal Penal Code, which deals with rape and …
