Vendor Liability For Advertising In Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail, 22 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 137 (2003), Anne P. Mitchell
Vendor Liability For Advertising In Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail, 22 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 137 (2003), Anne P. Mitchell
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
This article discusses whether vendors should be held liable for spam. Vendors are those companies whose products or services are being peddled in spam advertising. Yet, vendors disclaim responsibility for the issuance of spam because they were not the ones who actually sent the spam in the first place. This article takes the stance that because vendors contribute and or benefit from the wrongful acts of the actual spammers, vendors should not be able to escape liability by blaming the primary actors, the spammers. Further, if vendors were to be held liable for spam, they would be an easier entity …

Where's The Beef? Dissecting Spam's Purported Harms, 22 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 13 (2003), Eric Goldman
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
This article seeks to identify areas that truly require legislative intervention by examining the harms purportedly caused by spam. Identifying exactly what constitutes spam is an imprecise task since one e-mail may be junk to one and an important e-mail to another. The article attempts to analyze why consumers feel strongly against spam. This reaction is compared to consumers’ comparatively tolerant reaction to other unwanted advertisement in different mediums, such as billboards or magazine advertisements. Several factors are considered, such as the waste of time associated with sorting spam, the loss of consumers’ control over their in-boxes, and the annoyance …

Intel V. Hamidi: Spam As A Trespass To Chattels - Deconstruction Of A Private Right Of Action In California, 22 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 205 (2003), J. Brian Beckham
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
This casenote analyzes and critiques the decision reached by the California Supreme Court in Intel v. Hamidi. Intel v. Hamidi runs contrary to other cases that have found a cause of action for trespass to chattels where harm was caused by unwanted electronic communications: Thrifty-Tel, Inc. v. Benezek, eBay v. Bidder’s Edge, and CompuServe v. Cyber Promotions. The California Supreme Court in Intel v. Hamidi suggested other causes of action Intel could have brought instead of trespass to chattels. The casenote looks at each proffered alternative and concludes that none of the alternatives were feasible and that Intel should have …

Big Media: Its Effect On The Marketplace Of Ideas And How To Slow The Urge To Merge, 20 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 247 (2002), Donald R. Simon
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
"The free flow of information is the life-blood of democracy." Americans are experiencing many media corporate mergers in recent years, and one is likely to ponder whether the idea of "marketplace of ideas" still holds true. In this article, the author discusses how economically driven censorship of journalism is blinding the public by market concentration and cross-ownership of media corporations. The fears of the Founding Fathers still lurk in the background as James Madison wrote: "a popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both." …

An "Opposition" To The Recently-Proposed Legislation Related To Business Model Patents, 20 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 397 (2002), Gregory J. Maier, Thomas J. Fisher, Philippe J. C. Signore
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The authors in this article review the history of the business method exception before and after the State Street Bank case. In that case, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decided that there was no business method exception, and never had been. The court pointed out that previous decisions were decided on other grounds found in the statutes. The authors argue that, because of the timing and economic environment of the decision, the case gained much popularity and discussion. However, the patent law has not changed since then and the business method exception is still not a patentable …

Chemical Claims Drafting After Lubrizol, 20 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 207 (2002), Caroline Frances Barry
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
In Exxon Chemical Patents, Inc. v. Lubrizol Corp. and its companion decision, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that a chemical composition claimed in an ingredient-based form is not infringed when there is interaction between the ingredients after they have been combined so as to later either their quantity or their chemical form. This article discusses the impact of the decisions on chemical drafting of chemical inventions. The author argues that the decisions were wrongly decided. Furthermore, the author proposes an amendment to the Patent Act to allow ingredient-based claiming to continue to be used and …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
"You already have zero privacy anyway. Get over it." With the FBI's new stealth surveillance tool, the "Magic Lantern," this quote is an understatement. This article takes reader through a revealing journey of how the FBI, under the authority of the USA Patriot Act, conducts surveillance by using the most advanced technology such as the "Magic Lantern" and "Carnivore." The author first explains how these invisible keystroke logging software/worm/Trojan horse functions in acquiring the information for the FBI constantly and consistently over the Internet. Undoubtedly, the extend of individual's privacy invasion would be pervasive. Hence, the author discusses the constitutionality …

Face Recognition Technology: The Potential Orwellian Implications And Constitutionality Of Current Uses Under The Fourth Amendment, 20 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 321 (2002), Robert H. Thornburg
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Did you smile at the 2001 Super Bowl at Tampa's Raymond James Stadium?

If you missed your 15-second of fame, try it again at the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. With the use of facial recognition technology at the 2001 Super Bowl and Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, the author seeks to explore the use of this facial recognition technology. He further discusses the constitutionality of it under the Fourth Amendment. In doing so, he analyzes how facial …

Transnational Evidence Gathering And Local Prosecution Of International Cybercrime, 20 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 347 (2002), Susan W. Brenner, Joseph J. Schwerha Iv
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
By analyzing two high-profile cybercrime cases, the authors discuss legal and procedural issues involved when gathering evidence across national borders. In US v. Gorshkov, the FBI was asked to investigate a series of intrusions into the computer systems of businesses in the US from Russia. The second incident is when system administrators at the Rom Air Development Center at Griffis Air Force Base in New York discovered hackers had installed password sniffer programs on all system networks. One of the hackers was identified to be a British citizen. The first thing to start a transnational evidence gathering is to determine …

E-Korean Dsl Policy: Implications For The United States, 20 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 417 (2002), Junseong An
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
In a comparative study of the DSL service developments between the US and South Korea, the author discusses the strength of South Korea in this regard and how the US counterpart can learn from the examples. First, the author argues the laws and regulations in South Korea make the DSL deployment flourish. The urban development in Seoul, for example, gets people "wired" easier and cheaper as city dwellers live in multi-dwelling units. In addition, the forward thinking of the South Korean government in laying the Korean Information Infrastructure culminates this rapid development. With a comprehensive plan in place, the economics …

O' Big Brother Where Art Thou?: The Constitutional Use Of Facial-Recognition Technology, 20 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 471 (2002), Susan Mccoy
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
How to balance the protection of personal privacy and security in light of the use of facial recognition technology? The author argues that the use of facial recognition technology does not violate individual's Fourth Amendment rights to privacy. First, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in public places. Second, the database used only contains the identities of known criminal and terrorists. Third, facial recognition technology only facilitates existing methods of screening and comparing mug shots of known criminals on the street. With these arguments, the author proposes suggestions to legislations that cover facial recognition or other biometric technologies. In …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
On July 24, 2001, the Supreme People's Court issued a judicial interpretation as a guideline for all Chinese courts in deciding cybersquatting cases. However, the interpretation followed closely to the U.S. Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. With inherent legal and judicial differences between the two countries, the authors analyze whether and to what extent China can transplant the American experience to construct Chinese effective legal mechanisms against cybersquatters. In so doing, authors first discuss the Lanham Act and using trademark infringement as a cause of action. Authors are quick to point out that cybersquatters do not use registered trademarks to conduct …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
In the absence of a world government, cross border trade is always subject to rules that must be politically negotiated among nations that are sovereign in their own realm but not outside their borders. The author explores the development of an international trade and e-commerce paradigm in two main phases as the Internet superhighway bridges nations together. She argues that the construction of an international trading framework must strike the appropriate balance between institutional order and norms and the human and business realities of free trade and democracy. She further argues that the balance can be achieved by creating an …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
As a result of an unprecedented congestion of its Internet and mobile phone communications, many technocrats in Vietnam trace such problems to government policy driven by security concerns. Therefore, the author in this article analyzes Vietnam's regulatory response to Internet technology. The author first discusses the historical background of Vietnam's management and regulatory policy over the Internet. He argues that the policy is essentially the result of socialist assumptions of the state's dominant role in the country's economic growth. Under its 1997 decree regarding Internet usage, the General Director of the General Postal Bureau has the exclusive authority and primary …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Using an airing of the Victoria Secret fashion show as an example, the author explores the definition of "indecency" in media. She first discusses the how FCC treats indecency in traditional media (radio, broadcast TV and cable). Then, she addresses numerous failed attempts of applying indecency on the Internet. Consequently, she compares and contrasts the different media. Lastly, she suggests a solution in this regard that would likely pass constitutional muster. The FCC can impose fines or prison sentences on radio and broadcasting licensees for "uttering any obscene, indecent or profane language by means of radio communications." As for cable …

Financial Web aggregation is a service that allows the customer to view all data from various accounts including financial institutions, stockbrokers, airline frequent flyer and other reward programs. Financial Web aggregation services may be offered on a stand-alone basis but the trend is to offer them in conjunction with other financial services, most commonly bill payment. HyperText Markup Language (“HTML”) technology is used to obtain the account information, this is most often done without the permission of the provider. The alternative to HTML connection is direct feed aggregation…the aggregator requires the implementation of specific software, i.e. Open Financial Exchange software. …
