The Microsoft-Yahoo Merger: Yes, Privacy Is An Antitrust Concern, Robert H. Lande
The Microsoft-Yahoo Merger: Yes, Privacy Is An Antitrust Concern, Robert H. Lande
All Faculty Scholarship
Privacy and antitrust? Isn't antitrust only supposed to be concerned with price? Well, no. Antitrust is actually about consumer choice, and price is only one type of choice. The ultimate purpose of the antitrust laws is to help ensure that the free market will bring to consumers everything they want from competition. This starts with competitive prices, of course, but consumers also want an optimal level of variety, innovation, quality, and other forms of non-price competition. Including, in the Google-Doubleclick and Microsoft-Yahoo transactions, privacy protection.
Readability Studies: How Technocentrism Can Compromise Research And Legal Determinations, Louis J. Sirico Jr.
Readability Studies: How Technocentrism Can Compromise Research And Legal Determinations, Louis J. Sirico Jr.
Working Paper Series
One way to determine whether consumers understand a document is to use a readability formula to assign it a score. These formulas calculate readability by counting such variables as the number of words and syllables in a passage or document. The idea of readability formulas has been defined as “an equation which combines those text features that best predict text difficulty. The equation is usually developed by studying the relationship between text features (e.g., words, sentences) and text difficulty (e.g., reading comprehension, reading rate, and expert judgment of difficulty).” Even though readability formulas are mechanical and imperfect, they are easy …

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 …

The Failure Of Breast Cancer Informed Consent Statuses, Rachael Anderson-Watts
The Failure Of Breast Cancer Informed Consent Statuses, Rachael Anderson-Watts
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
Breast cancer informed consent legislation was introduced in response to breast cancer patient discontent with doctor-patient relationships. Physicians do not always believe that explaining treatment alternatives is important, and in this respect, legislation promoting the discussion of alternative treatment could be positive for breast cancer patients, many of whom do in fact have several viable medical options. Studies have found, however, that these statutes have no lasting impact on patient decision-making. Why aren't these patient-driven statutes affecting patient decision-making? And why is medical advice coming from the law at all? This Article argues that this legislation is a poor tool …

Cartel Overcharges And Optimal Cartel Fines, John M. Connor, Robert H. Lande
Cartel Overcharges And Optimal Cartel Fines, John M. Connor, Robert H. Lande
All Faculty Scholarship
This Article examines whether the current penalties in the United States Sentencing Guidelines are set at the appropriate levels to deter illegal price fixing cartels optimally. The authors analyze two data sets to determine how high on average cartels raise prices. The first consists of every published scholarly economic study of the effects of cartels on prices in individual cases. The second consists of every final verdict in a U.S. antitrust case in which a neutral finder of fact reported collusive overcharges. They report average overcharges of 49% and 31% for the two data sets, and median overcharges of 25% …

A Key To Unlocking Your Iphone: Eliminating Wireless Service Providers' Use Of United States Copyright Law To Limit Consumer Choice And Provider Competition, Tate M. Keenan
Georgia Law Review
While consumers have a choice whether to purchase an iPhone, they have no choice in the wireless service provider that is linked to it. This is just one example of what has become a regular practice in the world of American cellular phones--cell phone locking. Today, modern American cell phone users stand at the mercy of wireless service providers. They are placed in this position in part because wireless service providers have had the inadvertent luxury of being overly protected by United States copyright law. As the law stands today, wireless service providers are not only free to lock handsets …
