Fair Warning: Preemption And Navigating The Bermuda Triangle Of E-Sign, Ueta, And State Digital Signature Laws, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 401 (2001), Renard Francois
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Problems with authenticity, integrity, and repudiation can create a barrier for both individuals and businesses using the Internet for transactions and negotiations. To help address these issues, the federal government enacted E-Sign. This statute protects consumers and ensures no signature will be denied legal effect. E-Sign is sometimes in conflict with state adopted statute, UETA. E-Sign has preemption provisions that are inconsistent with the goals of creating legal uniformity. This comment suggests amending E-Sign so that it is clear that any modification to UETA will cause the state’s version of UETA to be completely preempted.

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
"Online pharmacies, your friendly neighborhood drugstores." The Internet is not only a great telecommunication medium but also a low-cost and convenient commercial marketplace. It is no exception that online pharmacies flourished as a result, but the consequences of such development pose grave danger to the public and great challenges to regulations. The author discusses the benefits and risk of online pharmacies, the different types of online pharmacies, state governments' involvement in regulating online prescriptions and federal involvements. Despite both state and federal legislations and regulations, proliferation of online pharmacies, established inside and outside of the US, proves to be a …

Consequential Damages Exclusions Under Ucita, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 295 (2001), Douglas E. Phillips
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act ("UCITA") elicits both love and hate, but decision time is here. Two states have enacted UCITA, several others are considering it, and UCITA choice-of-law clauses are already beginning to appear in software license agreements and other computer information contracts. This article focuses on how UCITA affects a pivotal issue: enforceability of contract clauses that exclude consequential damages. Losses from software development gone awry often far exceed the customer's investment and the developer's return. Under the Uniform Commercial Code, questions remain about the enforceability in certain circumstances of consequential damages exclusions. UCITA answers these questions …
The Internal Revenue Service Is Shifting American Taxpayers From A Paper Based Filing System To Electronic Filing - Is The Irs Offering A Capable System That Protects Taxpayer Confidentiality?, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 367 (2001), Anthony D. Skidmore
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The IRS utilizes Internet technology, such as electronic filing, to aid in the enormous task of processing individual tax returns annually. The Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (“1998 Act”) allows signatures to be waived by the IRS or to provide alternative means of signing. Litigation challenging the IRS administration of its electronic filing program to date has been upheld. Recent decisions illustrate the authority the IRS has to set standards for participating in the electroinc filing system. Recent litigation surrounding the validity of refund-anticipation loans has been upheld, despite the annual percentage rate charged. Criminal litigation …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Broadcasters in both the U.S. and Canada were perplexed when iCraveTV.com began intercepting American and Canadian television signals and began broadcasting them for free over the Internet. Broadcasters in Canada contend that these type of actions constitute a violation of section 3 of the Canadian Copyright Act. Provisions of section 31(2) of the Copyright Act appear to allow new media broadcasters to rebroadcast signals in return for paying a tariff, however, these criterion must be meet: the communication must be a retransmission of a local or distant signal, the transmission must be lawful under the Broadcasting Act, the signal must …
Privacy Protection For Electronic Communications And The “Interception Unauthorized Access” Dilemma, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 435 (2001), Carlos Perez-Albuerne, Lawrence Friedman
Privacy Protection For Electronic Communications And The “Interception Unauthorized Access” Dilemma, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 435 (2001), Carlos Perez-Albuerne, Lawrence Friedman
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
When Congress foresaw the need for privacy protection for personal and commercial communications, it modified the Wire and Electronic Communications Interception and Interception of Oral Communications Act (“Wire-Tap Act”) through the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) and added the Stored Communications Act to broaden the scope of prohibitions against electronic eavesdropping. Some questions, however, are raised by the interpretation of the Wiretap Act’s definition of “intercept” and the Stored Communications Act’s definition of “unauthorized access.” The authors of this comment explore the decisions in the cases Steve Jackson Games v. U.S. and Konop v. Hawaiian Airlines to resolve this question …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Advancements in computers and technology have affected nearly every aspect of health care. Although many of the effects of modern technology have benefited health care, a vast increase in the amount of people with access to medical information has led to numerous privacy concerns. In response to these new problems, and at the direction of Congress through the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), Health and Human Services (“HHS”) implemented the Privacy Rule. The Privacy Rule “protects privacy by regulating the ways in which certain medical information may be used by certain entities.” The constitutional right to …

Cybermedicine, or “the discipline of applying the Internet to medicine,” is rapidly becoming more and more mainstream, and it will ultimately transform medicine completely.

Currently, Web and e-mail based programs connect doctors to patients, doctors to doctors, and patients to patients with numerous beneficial results. E-mail is particularly important today because not everyone has access to high-speed Internet connections. The impending improvements in technology and the possibilities …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
"There is no information more personal and private than one's genetic information" – one's DNA. Under the Human Genome Project, mapping of the human genetic code is under way. From this mapping of genetic code, information such as the likelihood of developing cancer, diabetes, etc. would certainly become available. Although this information may be helpful to one's health providers, companies and governments may begin to use this information to discriminate individuals based on their genetic predispositions. This article focuses on the current federal legislation while proposing a new federal legislation in light of this great genetic endeavor. Legislation "has always …

Pornography, Privacy, And Digital Self-Help, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 133 (2000), Tom W. Bell
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Pornography and privacy share a subtle relationship in internet law and policy. Legislation attempting to restrict online speech considered indecent or harmful to minors is subject to exacting scrutiny. Legislation that regulates online speech thought to be harmful to its readers because of privacy concerns should be subjected to the same level of scrutiny. The availability of self-help remedies should govern the scope of legislation affecting online privacy and the alternatives offered by digital self-help solutions makes state regulation constitutionally suspect and functionally inferior. Self-help can be more effective than legislation in protecting online privacy. Cookie management software, use of …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Building a set of rules for operating an ordered, effective online association is the first step toward building virtual communities and the first step toward a democratic "e-government." Disputes online are not rare; they are just rarely resolved. Currently, online forums are watched over by a moderator, who is charged with keeping the discussion on track, and to keeping the debate from getting personal. Almost everyone who has been in an online discussion is aware of "Netiquette", the informal rules that govern chat room conversations. Everyone is equally aware that these rules are often ignored. While the exchange of ideas …
