Toward A Regulatory Model Of Internet Intermediary Liability: File-Sharing And Copyright Enforcement, Christopher M. Swartout Jan 2011

Toward A Regulatory Model Of Internet Intermediary Liability: File-Sharing And Copyright Enforcement, Christopher M. Swartout

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

One of the major problems presented by digital content and the internet has been the failure of traditional copyright enforcement mechanisms to adequately address infringement that takes place via online file-sharing. Recently, laws that would introduce a new copyright enforcement paradigm have been proposed in numerous countries and have received strong support from content industries seeking a more effective enforcement regime.

Faculty Scholarship

Commentators frequently claim that there is no single, coherent doctrine of extra-territorial personal jurisdiction, and, unfortunately, they are correct. The International Shoe case, commonly (but inaccurately) thought of as the wellspring of the modern form of the doctrine, announced a relatively straightforward, two-factor, four-permutation test that worked well for resolving most cases.
