The role of libraries in American society is varied: libraries act as curators and repositories of American culture's recorded knowledge, as places to communicate with others, and as sources where one can gain information from books, magazines and other printed materials, as well as audio-video materials and the Internet. Courts in the United States have called libraries "the quintessential locus of the receipt of information, "'places that are "dedicated to quiet, to knowledge, and to beauty," and "a mighty resource in the free marketplace of ideas." These positive views of libraries are often in sharp contrast with views by some …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Until recently it was considered impossible or at least pointless to attempt to identify the actual geographic location of Internet users in the online environment. However, this is changing and, although extremely accurate geographical identifiers do not exist, more geo-location technologies are used to track the location of the Internet users for a variety of reasons such as fraud detection, authentication, content targeting, security and network efficiency, conditioning access and legal compliance. The article distinguishes between hard protection provided by geo-location technologies and soft protection provided by non-technical means. It then proceeds in presenting and examining the geo-location technologies, sophisticated …
Open And Closed: Captioning Technology As A Means To Equality, 23 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 159 (2004), Faye Kuo
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
It is well known that going to the movies is an extremely popular pastime for the Americans. However for millions of Americans who are deaf or hard of hearing this is not something that they can enjoy in the same terms as the rest of the other movie goers since most movie theater operators consider that providing “equal access” to deaf or hard of hearing individuals consists only of allowing them to enter the theater, purchase and ticket and sit down not install captioning technology so that deaf or hard of hearing individuals could actually understand the movie shown. The …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
As more attorneys now days use the e-mail as their primary source of communication with their clients, new issues arise regarding the potential threat to attorney-client communication privilege resulting from the standard and systematic employer monitoring of their employees e-mails. Indeed employers monitor their employees’ computer use and in some cases terminate employees as result of this monitoring, for various reasons such as to increase of employee productivity and efficiency, protect their public image, prevent workplace harassment, protect their Intellectual Property assets and their network capacity. Given the systematic workplace monitoring but also the fact that contrary to the American …

Lessons For The Hague: Internet Jurisdiction In Contract And Tort Cases In The European Community And The United States, 23 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (2004), Moritz Keller
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
With the increasing use of the Internet, all on-line users, web site owners, e-commerce companies and consumers alike, feel the need to be able to rely on clear standards for a potential contract or tort lawsuit following the Internet presence that could lead to multinational litigation. This goal could be achieved if the negotiations of the Hague Convention on international jurisdiction and enforcement of foreign judgments in civil and commercial matters succeed in harmonizing the rules of the different legal systems around the globe, or at least create a minimum standard for legal cases which would benefit greatly e-commerce and …
Privatizing Information And Information Technology – Whose Life Is It Anyway?, 22 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 375 (2004), Ellen Dannin
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
As the United States government collects personal and private information about each of us, the government must also consider ways of preventing that information from falling into the wrong hands. In the wrong hands, that information can be turned against the individual – from blackmailing to more nefarious acts, such as terrorism. However, the government trend of outsourcing information gathering tasks has dramatically increased the chances of the wrong people receiving sensitive information. The government has been outsourcing information gathering tasks because of their failure to develop sufficient in-house expertise to handle information gathering. A second reason is that some …
Defining Cyberterrorism, 22 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 397 (2004), Mohammad Iqbal
Defining Cyberterrorism, 22 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 397 (2004), Mohammad Iqbal
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
This article explores the definition of the term “cyberterrorism” in light of available literature and recent legislation in an attempt to distinguish cyberterrorism from other cyber activities and crimes. Cyberterrorism is the convergence of terrorism and cyberspace. The author discusses the differences between true cyberterrorism – that is, actual harm caused by cyber attacks – versus less malignant attacks that do more to annoy than harm. The author points out that the main difference between cyberterrorism and other cyber attacks, such as hacking and cracking, is that cyberterrorists are politically motivated, while other cyber attackers have non-politic motives.
The Fourth Amendment And The Wiretap Act Fail To Protect Against Random Isp Monitoring Of E-Mails For The Purpose Of Assisting Law Enforcement, 22 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 493 (2004), Jim W. Ko
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
This article takes the position that the Wiretap Act and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) does little to provide protection against internet service providers (ISPs) that randomly monitor e-mails for the purpose of turning over evidence of criminal activities to law enforcement officials. The article provides a background to the special privacy issues that arise in the context of computer technology and ISPs. An analysis of the Wiretap Act, as amended by the ECPA, reveals that an implicit statutory prohibition against random surveillance by ISPs for the purpose of assisting law enforcement does in fact exist. Further, remedies for …
The Global Rise Of A Duty To Disclose Information Security Breaches, 22 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 457 (2004), Ethan Preston, Paul Turner
The Global Rise Of A Duty To Disclose Information Security Breaches, 22 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 457 (2004), Ethan Preston, Paul Turner
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Section 1798.82 requires computer database operators to disclose security breaches involving personal data information to both the subjects of the data and the owners of the personal data. However, this commentary views Section 1798.82 with apprehension, but takes the position that much broader duties to disclose such breaches are already in place. This article begins with a discussion about legislation that expressly require disclosure of computer security breaches, such as Section 1798.82 and Article 4 of the European Union Telecommunications and Electronic Communications Privacy Directives. Then it follows with a discussion about legislation and common law that implicitly requires disclosure …

Using the Internet to assist the electoral system has emerged as a potential option in order to remedy many defects within the electoral process. However, Internet voting is untested and less transparent than traditional voting …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Christa Corrine McLintock’s “The Destruction of Media Diversity, or: How the FCC Learned to Stop Regulating and Love Corporate Dominated Media” investigates the current corporate consolidation climate and the efficacy of alternative media outlets. McLintock examines the history of the Federal Communication Commission (“FCC”) and its current trend toward deregulation. McLintock argues that the Internet has failed to level the playing field between alternative media outlets and mainstream media conglomerates. She concludes that increased regulation is not only the most viable solution to the alternative media’s predicament, but also the means through which to satisfy the FCC’s stated goals, facilitate …

A Normative Critique Of Private Domain Name Dispute Resolution, 22 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 625 (2004), J.R. Hildenbrand
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
In recent years, much has been made of the rapid expansion and tremendous commercial potential of the Internet. As such, domain names that contain or imply an entities trademarked name have become extremely valuable to these entities. The difficulty, however, is balancing the rights of the trademark owners with Internet users within the burgeoning commercial environment. This comment examines the balance between the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and traditional trademark protection. It discusses several persuasive documents including the International Trademark Association’s 1997 White Paper and the United States Department of Commerce’s Green and White papers. The comment further develops …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The EU Electronic Privacy Directive of 2002 requires members to ensure the confidentiality of communications but allows member states to restrict the scope of such protection for national security and defense reasons as well as to prevent, investigate detect and prosecute crimes. Despite the criticism a provision on retention of communications date was inserted, reversing thus the position taken under the previous EU Telecommunications Privacy Directive of 1997. This article presents the evolution of the EU Electronic Privacy Directive of 2002 starting from the initial proposal of 2000 which did not include a retention of data provision, to the final …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) was enacted in 1999 as a response to international disputes over Internet domain names because according to the Congress’ point of view, courts could not successfully protected American businesses in cases where nothing more that the registration of a trademark or its variation in a domain name had occurred. This article analyzes recent court decisions regarding domain name disputes after the enactment of ACPA focusing on reverse domain name hijacking in international, trademark related and gTLD disputes. The author argues that the in rem jurisdiction provided by the ACPA and the consequent extraterritorial effect …
