Canada’S Anti-Spam Legislation: A Constitutional Analysis, 31 J. Marshall J. Info. Tech. & Privacy L. 1 (2014), Emir Crowne, Stephanie Provato

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

On December 15th, 2010, the Government of Canada agreed to Bill C-28, the Fighting Internet and Wireless Spam Act, with the intent to “deter the most damaging and deceptive forms of spam… from occurring in Canada and to help to drive out spammers.” Canada‟s Anti- Spam Legislation (“CASL”) was born. Although CASL has only been in force since July 1st, 2014, we argue that the Act may not survive constitutional scrutiny as it unduly restricts freedom of speech.

The Policing Of Religious Marriage Prohibitions In Israel: Religion, State, And Information Technology, 31 J. Marshall J. Info. Tech. & Privacy L. 23 (2014), Akiva Miller

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The State of Israel applies religious law in all matters of marriage and divorce. For the Jewish population of Israel, the law of marriage includes religious prohibitions on certain kinds of marriages, most notably the prohibition against intermarriage and the prohibition against marrying a mamzer. Over the years, Israel‘s state-religious authorities have adopted a variety of methods and practices for policing these prohibitions. These include stringent procedures for premarital registration inquiries; use of databases for collecting information on prohibited persons; recording the possibility of mamzer status of newborn children; special Beit Din proceedings for handling cases of possible marriage prohibitions; …

The Right To Be Forgotten: Forced Amnesia In A Technological Age, 31 J. Marshall J. Info. Tech. & Privacy L. 133 (2014), Robert Bolton

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

In the modern era, the connection between technology and one’s personal life has increased the number of moments recorded for posterity. While in many circumstances this is an ideal opportunity for fond recollection, it has the downside of displaying for others our less flattering moments. Because the Internet has such a wide scope, once something has entered its domain, it is virtually impossible to permanently remove. With a public increasingly perceiving this winnowing of privacy as a negative tendency, legislators both at home and abroad have made proposals that attempt to place restrictions on what content social media is allowed …

Breach Notification Requirements Under The European Union Legal Framework: Convergence, Conflicts, And Complexity In Compliance, 31 J. Marshall J. Info. Tech. & Privacy L. 317 (2014), Samson Esayas

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The European Union (EU) legal landscape on data privacy and information security is undergoing significant changes. A prominent legislative development in recent years is the introduction of breach notification requirements within a number of regulatory instruments. In only the past two years, the Community legislator has adopted, and proposed, four different regulatory instruments containing breach notification requirements. There are also existing requirements for the telecom sector. This creates a complex mesh of regulatory frameworks for breach notification where different aspects of the same breach within the same company might have to be dealt with under different regulatory instruments, making compliance …

Moving Money: International Financial Flows, Taxes, And Money Laundering, Richard Gordon, Andrew P. Morriss

UC Law SF International Law Review

Allegations by political leaders and others that offshore financial centers enable multinational enterprise to avoid paying a "fair" amount of tax-and that they enable wealthy individuals to evade paying any tax, much of it on ill gotten gains-are once again garnering headlines and inspiring government action. One of the most prominent commentators on these topics, The Tax Justice Network, has recently claimed that thanks to the services of tax havens, $21 trillion to $32 trillion of wealth of questionable origin remains hidden and untaxed, and that such abuse must be stopped through greater regulation. In this paper we argue that …

Changing Lanes: Intellectual Property Rights, Trade And Investment, Julien Chaisse, Puneeth Nagaraj

UC Law SF International Law Review

Trademarks are inherent features of transnational business transactions.

Trademarks are also a form of investment as they are valuable business assets; they can be sold or licensed. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the international economic rules that apply to transnational business activities requiring trademark protection. It answers the key question: What is the role of trade and investment treaties in ensuring trademarks are duly respected? The paper demonstrates that some trademark infringement …

This note analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of Apple's transparency policies over the years, as well as the events that triggered these policies. This note also examines voluntary disclosure schemes generally, and discusses the inherent limitations of a policy that is self-defined and self-enforced. Despite its limitations, Apple's policy has initiated some positive changes to labor practices and has contributed to a broader discussion on corporate social responsibility …
