A Preliminary Economic Analysis of Napster: Internet Technology, Copyright Liability, and the Possibility of Coasean Bargaining

Type Journal Article
Author Alfred Chueh-Chin Yen
Abstract This Article offers a preliminary economic analysis of whether it is desirable to hold Napster, Inc. liable for copyright infringement committed by Napster users. The Article does so because the recording industry’s recent lawsuit against Napster, Inc. offers a prominent example of the claim that the efficient production and distribution of copyrightable subject matter require broad injunctive relief against providers of certain Internet technology. If this argument is accepted, profound consequences for the Internet’s development may follow because copyright liability against Napster will give the recording industry significant control over Napster and - by application of precedent - other similar technologies. Such control could prove undesirable because the recording industry may not efficiently develop and exploit technology like Napster. This drag on the Internet’s development could be warranted if leaving Napster alone would substantially diminish the supply of recorded music. The Article contends that Napster does not significantly threaten the supply of recorded music, and that it may be wise policy to leave Napster alone.

Advantage ISP: Terms of Service as Media Law

Type Conference Paper
Author Sandra Braman
Author Stephanie Lynch
Abstract This study analyzes rules enforced by ISPs with regulatory-like effect in the areas of ISP-user relations, content, and behavior. ISP Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policies include dozens of rules that forbid constitutionally protected communicative content and behaviors and in many cases force users to grant ISPs licenses to all content uploaded or posted. Users often have no knowledge of enforcement criteria, tools, and practices. While users have liability for all effects of their use — whether or not intended — ISPs have almost none. The number of rules put in place by ISPs is multiplying over time. Greater protections for freedom of speech and respect for user intellectual property rights can be found in non-commercial ISPs, while there is less of both in non-US-based ISPs. Possible responses to this trend include economic approaches such as forming large user groups (eg, coalitions of libraries and/or universities) to negotiate agreements with greater protections for constitutional rights and formation of new ISPs that identify such protections as a market niche. Legal approaches include distinguishing between voluntary and involuntary speech environments in the courts, application of public forum analysis to ISPs in the courts and in Congress, and addressing ISP agreements as de facto changes in copyright law that require congressional and judicial attention. Responding to the development of a regulatory-like function for ISPs is important at this point in time because history of use is critical in public forum analyses and other areas of legal precedent.

Againist Cyberanarchy

Type Journal Article
Author Jack L. Goldsmith
Abstract The Supreme Court’s recent invalidation on First Amendment grounds of the Communications Decency Act raises the more fundamental question of whether the state can regulate cyberspace transactions at all. Several commentators, whom I shall call “regulation skeptics,” have argued that it cannot. Some courts have also expressed skepticism. The popular and technical press are full of similar claims.

Against ‘Against Cyberanarchy’

Type Journal Article
Author David G Post
Abstract Prof. Jack Goldsmith’s Against Cyberanarchy has become one of the most influential articles in the cyberspace law canon. The position he sets forth - what I call Unexceptionalism - rests on two main premises. The first is that activity in cyberspace is functionally identical to transnational activity mediated by other means (e.g., mail or telephone or smoke signal). The second is that, as a consequence of this functional identity, the settled principles and traditional legal tools of the international lawyer are fully capable of handling all jurisdictional and choice-of-law problems in cyberspace - that the choice-of-law problems implicated by cyberspace are not significantly different from those [of] non-cyberspace conflicts and that we therefore need make no special provision for these problems when they arise in cyberspace. In this paper, I beg to differ. I remain an unrepentant Exceptionalist. Communication in cyberspace is not functionally identical to communication in realspace - at least, not in ways relevant to the application of the choice-of-law and jurisdictional principles under discussion. Second, I suggest reasons why the jurisdictional and choice-of-law dilemmas posed by cyberspace activity cannot be adequately resolved by applying the settled principles and traditional legal tools developed for analogous problems in realspace.

Anarchy, State, and the Internet: An Essay on Law-Making in Cyberspace

Type Journal Article
Author David G. Post
Abstract The legal rules that will govern cyberspace are yet to be clarified. Important as those rules will be, a prior question is “who will make and enforce those rules?” Professor Post examines various “controllers,” or points from which rules can issue, ranging from technical network protocols, to private organizations like universities, to Congressional statutes. These controllers vary in their ability to enforce whatever rules they choose to adopt, depending on the existence of conflicting higher-level controllers, and on the possibility that those who are subject to the rules can change jurisdictions to seek a more favorable rule set. The Internet allows a relatively easy change of jurisdiction, or “exit,” from any given controller, leading to the unprecedented-and unpredictable- situation of a “free market” in rule sets.

Be Careful What You Ask For: Reconciling a Global Internet and Local Law

Type Journal Article
Author Jonathan Zittrain
Abstract As the Internet becomes part of daily living rather than a place to visit, its rough edges are smoothed and its extremes tamed by sovereigns wanting to protect consumers, prevent network resource abuse, and eliminate speech deemed harmful. The tools are now within reach to permit sovereigns with competing rulesets to play down their differences - whether by countenancing global privatization of some Internet governance issues through organizations like ICANN, coming to new international agreements on substance and procedure to reduce the friction caused by transborder data flows, or by a “live and let live” set of localization technologies to shape the Internet to suit the respective societies it touches. These shifts will help ease the tension between the certitudes that the Internet is global, while the imposition of regulation is almost always local. Such cures for the longstanding dilemmas of Internet jurisdiction and governance eliminate the originally cherished aspects of a global Internet as well - urging us to consider the iatrogenic effects of bulldozing online activity to conform more to the boundaries of the physical world that preceded it, and explaining why, in the United States and elsewhere, there are contradictory policies emerging about the Internet’s future.

Borders in Cyberspace: Information Policy and the Global Information Infrastructure

Type Book
Editor Brian Kahin
Abstract The international nature of the Internet often conflicts with national differences in law, social values, and public policy. Within national boundaries, local ordinances add another layer of discord. And many governments have been caught off-guard by the Net’s explosive growth. Some concern and confusion can be attributed to laws developed for earlier forms of media and business transactions. The contributors to this collection of essays wrestle with the emerging questions posed by a medium that defies national boundaries in ways previously unknown and woefully unexpected. Among the issues covered are intellectual property, commerce, security, privacy, and censorship.

Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace

Type Book
Author Lawrence Lessig
Abstract Lessig (law, Harvard) tackles the tricky and troubling question of Internet regulation. Cyberspace has no intrinsic structure to protect its libertarian nature, and we are now well into an era where commerce and its partner in control, government, are working in a manner that could permanently, and perhaps negatively, alter its character. Now is the time for all who stand to benefit from the unique nature of cyberspace to assert their collective values into a framework for regulating it. Apathy or inaction, Lessig argues, would result in a medium shaped by special interests. His book is replete with examples of failed attempts to address cyberspace issues, such as the 1996 Communications Decency Act. A central theme is that the architecture of cyberspace can be coded to address properly salient issues related to free speech, intellectual property, and privacy. This is a vital book for concerned citizens of cyberspace. Recommended for academic and larger public libraries. -Philip Y.

Code: Version 2.0

Type Book
Author Lawrence Lessig
Abstract There’s a common belief that cyberspace cannot be regulated-that it is, in its very essence, immune from the government’s (or anyone else’s) control. Code, first published in 2000, argues that this belief is wrong. It is not in the nature of cyberspace to be unregulable; cyberspace has no “nature.” It only has code-the software and hardware that make cyberspace what it is. That code can create a place of freedom-as the original architecture of the Net did-or a place of oppressive control. Under the influence of commerce, cyberpsace is becoming a highly regulable space, where behavior is much more tightly controlled than in real space. But that’s not inevitable either. We can-we must-choose what kind of cyberspace we want and what freedoms we will guarantee. These choices are all about architecture: about what kind of code will govern cyberspace, and who will control it. In this realm, code is the most significant form of law, and it is up to lawyers, policymakers, and especially citizens to decide what values that code embodies. Since its original publication, this seminal book has earned the status of a minor classic. This second edition, or Version 2.0, has been prepared through the author’s wiki, a web site that allows readers to edit the text, making this the first reader-edited revision of a popular book.

Cyber Rights: Defending Free speech in the Digital Age

Type Book
Author Mike Godwin
Abstract Cyber Rights is an exceptionally rational and compelling account of the most explosive and controversial issues surrounding freedom in cyberspace. Author Mike Godwin is the well-known outspoken activist for online civil liberties and counsel to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). He’s been directly involved in many of the news-making cases and offers cogent analysis of very thorny situations, such as: * Time magazine’s infamous “Cyberporn” issue, which featured a flawed study and which many believe was at least a partial cause for passage of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (later overturned); * the case of Jake Baker, a college kid who distributed his stories about rape and torture in newsgroups, which resulted in his computer being confiscated by police; * the Church of Scientology’s line in the sand regarding intellectual property and the backlash against Scientology in online debates; * the libel conflicts experienced by Net journalists Matt Drudge and Brock Meeks; and * Philip Zimmerman’s (the programmer who developed the encryption tool Pretty Good Privacy [PGP]) fight with the Clinton administration to allow the use of encryption software. Godwin is a natural teacher, carefully describing each event and explaining the issues surrounding it. Unlike many writers, he shows that he thoroughly understands the arguments for restricting speech. He then methodically takes the arguments apart, covering what is normally boring legal theory and explaining it in a lively manner so that readers are drawn into the story.

Cyber-Slaying Media Fans: Code, Digital Poaching, and Corporate Control of the Internet

Type Journal Article
Author Mia Consalvo
Abstract This article examines media fans’ Web sites devoted to Star Trek and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to determine how the code of the Internet allows fans some creative control over media artifacts of interest to them and how such actions pose a challenge to media corporations and their copyrights. However, this challenge is also limited by the changing code of the Internet, at varying levels, as corporations seek to change open code to closed-proprietary code and limit such actions. Thus, this article explores the resistances of fans to corporate actions and how the code of the Internet is gradually changing into a system more conducive to corporate capitalism than community creation or any other transformative space.

Cyberlaw and the Norms of Science

Type Journal Article
Author Dan L. Burk
Abstract Much of the recent legal commentary regarding the Internet has been directed to discussion of norms and the role that such decentralized behavioral order should properly play in governance of this medium. (Johnson and Post, 1997; Lemley, 1999; Radin and Wagner, 1999) This body of literature mirrors and draws upon the expanding the expanding body of legal commentary regarding the role that norms should play in legal rule-making generally. (Cooter, 1996; Posner, 1996; Bernstein, 1996) Like the users of California basin groundwater (Ostrom, 1990) and the ranchers of Shasta County (Ellickson, 1991), Internet users have become something of a metaphor for the proposition of spontaneous communal ordering.

Cyberspace and the State Action Debate: The Cultural Value of Applying Constitutional Norms to ‘Private’ Regulation”

Type Journal Article
Author Paul Schiff Berman
Abstract Regulation in cyberspace does not consist only of laws issued and enforced by sovereigns. Instead, private parties and standard-setting bodies, employing the technology of online interaction, will increasingly be able to regulate activity, which might potentially upset many of the provisional balances we as a society have struck in areas such as free speech, privacy, and intellectual property. The question then becomes: how do we evaluate this “private” regulation? Are constitutional norms applicable? Answering such questions requires a reinvestigation of legal doctrine and theory concerning the distinction between “state action” (which is generally subject to constitutional constraints) and “private ordering” (which is not). Critics have repeatedly argued that this distinction is incoherent, but courts nevertheless have shown no inclination to rethink the state action doctrine. In addition, most Americans are likely to resist, on an intuitive level, scholarly attempts to erode the distinction between public and private.

Cyberspace Self-Governance: A Skeptical View from Democratic Theory

Type Journal Article
Author Neil W. Netanel
Abstract The idea that cyberspace should be presumptively self-governing has resounded in thoughtful scholarship. It has also precipitated the recent, dramatic withdrawal of the United States government from significant portions of Internet administration and regulation. This Article critiques a central prong of the argument for cyberspace self-governance: the claim that a self-governing cyberspace would more fully realize liberal democratic ideals than does nation-state representative democracy. That “cyberian” claim, in turn, has two parallel components: first, that the Internet creates possibilities for “bottom-up private ordering” that are a superior form of liberal democracy, and second, that a truly liberal nation-state must grant considerable autonomy to cyberspace “communities.” These claims of liberal perfectionism and community autonomy pose an intriguing challenge to traditional democratic theory. But I believe that they ultimately fail. I argue, indeed, that an untrammeled cyberspace would prove inimical to the ideals of liberal democracy. It would free majorities to trample upon minorities and would serve as a breeding ground for invidious status discrimination, narrow casting and mainstreaming content selection, systematic invasions of privacy, and gross inequalities in the distribution of basic requisites for citizenship in the information age. Accordingly, I argue, that selective state regulation of cyberspace is warranted to protect and promote liberal ideals. I maintain as well that in the absence of regulation by a democratic state, cyberians would be forced to try to invent a quasi-state institution to legislate and enforce meta-norms governing critical aspects of cyberspace organization and operation. Even if cyberians were successfully to establish such an institution, it would, at best, suffer from much the same democratic deficit as, according to cyberians, characterizes nation-state representative democracy.

Abstract Esta obra pretende llenar el vacío en cuanto a referentes bibliográficos actualizados que se ocupen del derecho de la información. Además, la relación entre el derecho y la información ha sido poco abordada, en especial por la distancia habitual entre juristas y comunicadores. El autor, por haberse especializado en ambas materias, fue capaz de amalgamarlas de manera tan completa que cubre el presente, el pasado y el futuro del área. Se trata de un estudio profundo de la normatividad vigente, que recurre también al derecho comparado para ubicar en una perspectiva justa el estado que guarda el régimen jurídico de la información en México. En la hora de la democracia, es necesaria una legislación efectiva sobre los medios de comunicación, que al mismo tiempo garantice su libertad e independencia y exija responsabilidad social y ética. Tanto los estudiantes del área de derecho y de comunicación como profesionales y docentes encontrarán en esta obra una fuente de consulta imprescindible en el momento de colaborar en los cambios que la legislación y la evolución de los medios de comunicación exigen.

Digital broadband content: Music

Type Report
Author OECD
Abstract If all you’ve been reading is the huffing and puffing of those on opposite sides of the DRM debates, this OECD report is like a breath of fresh air. It is an honest attempt to present a balanced view of what is happening with music distribution. The intellectual framework is one that has been used before in connection with individual companies and with with other industries: the concept of the “supply chain.” That is, the authors attempt to show both how the current music distribution supply chain operates, and how this supply chain is being impacted by new technology, focusing on peer to peer networks and broadband in particular. What this means is that all participants in getting music from composers and performers to listeners and customers are touched on, and where available, quantitative data are presented describing the scope and nature of the myriad of transactions that take place in the worldwide recorded music business. While the cutoff date for information appears to be late 2004/early 2005, much of what is presented is still very relevant. There is still confusion about competing DRM schemes, still concerns about the impacts of unauthorized copying and piracy, and still disagreements about what the seeming success of Apple iTunes really means for the industry.

Digital Copyright: Law And Practice

Type Book
Author Simon Stokes
Abstract Copyright law is rapidly changing. The digitisation of content and the growth of the Internet pose many challenges to the way copyright-protected material is protected, licensed and managed. The two World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) Treaties of 1996 dealing with copyright, related rights and new technology gave fresh legislative impetus to efforts in Europe to adapt and harmonise copyright law to the challenges of the information society. The result was the 2001 Copyright Directive. This Directive was implemented into UK law on 31 October 2003 by Statutory Instrument. This book was the first UK text to examine digital copyright together with related areas such as performers’ rights, moral rights, database rights and competition law as a subject in its own right. It was first published by Butterworths in 2001 and has now been revised to take account of the UK implementation of the Directive. The opportunity has also been taken to update it generally.

Digital Crossroads: American Telecommunications Policy in the Internet Age

Type Book
Author Jonathan E.Nuechterlein
Author Philip J.Weiser
Abstract Telecommunications policy profoundly affects the economy and our everyday lives. Yet accounts of important telecommunications issues tend to be either superficial (and inaccurate) or mired in jargon and technical esoterica. In Digital Crossroads, Jonathan Nuechterlein and Philip Weiser offer a clear, balanced, and accessible analysis of competition policy issues in the telecommunications industry. After giving a big picture overview of the field, they present sharply reasoned analyses of the major technological, economic, and legal developments confronting communications policymakers in the twenty-first century. Since the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, when Congress fundamentally reoriented the existing regulatory scheme, no book has cogently explained the intricacies of telecommunications competition policy in the Internet age for general readers, students, and practitioners alike. Digital Crossroads meets this need, focusing on the regulatory dimensions of competition in wireline and wireless telephone service; competition among rival platforms for broadband Internet service and video distribution; and the Internet’s transformation of every aspect of the telecommunications industry, particularly through the emergence of “voice over Internet protocol” (VoIP). The authors explain not just the complicated legal issues governing the industry, but also the rapidly changing technological and economic context in which these issues arise. The book includes extensive endnotes and tables that cover relevant court decisions, FCC orders, and academic commentaries; a glossary of acronyms; a statutory addendum containing the most important provisions of federal telecommunications law; and two appendixes with information on more specialized topics.

Cowritten by DRM pioneer William Rosenblatt, this lucid primer outlines the state of DRM today for media executives and IT decision-makers, covering business models (such as subscriptions), core technologies (watermarking, encryption, authentication), standards (such as XrML), vendors, and more.

Disowning Commodities: EBooks, Capitalism, and Intellectual Property Law

Type Journal Article
Author Ted Striphas
Abstract This article explores the changing social function of commodities in the United States by exploring the conditions of possibility of electronic books, or “ebooks.” By juxtaposing the history of printed books and consumer capitalism on the one hand and the history of ebooks on the other, this article maps an emergent configuration of capitalism, technology, and intellectual property law. Together, these histories evidence how the widespread private ownership of mass-produced consumer goods has grown increasingly problematic from the standpoint of capitalist production—an understanding embedded in many, if not most, commercially available ebook texts and devices. In addition to showing how the category of “private property” is destabilized in relationship to ebooks and other digital technologies, this article strategizes how best to articulate a vital, progressive politics in light of changing material and economic conditions.

El control de internet. Poder y autoridad en los mercados electrónicos

Type Book
Author Josep Ibáñez
Abstract Las transformaciones experimentadas por el poder y la autoridad en el ámbito de los mercados electrónicos están vinculadas a uno de los fenómenos más significativos de las últimas décadas: el cambio político, económico y social operado por las tecnologías de procesamiento de la información y la comunicación. Más allá de la dimensión técnica del ciberespacio, el control de internet ha respondido a valores, intereses y objetivos que se sitúan en una dimensión que trasciende las fronteras geográficas y políticas de los Estados. A través de un estudio que se basa en un concepto amplio de política para demostrar que los fenómenos aparentemente económicos —como es el comercio electrónico en internet— son esencialmente políticos, puesto que afectan a la distribución mundial del poder y la riqueza, esta obra identifica los riesgos y analiza los efectos de la delegación de funciones por parte de las autoridades públicas en actores privados en este terreno. Así, el autor extrae de sus conclusiones una agenda político-social y adopta un posicionamiento abierto a favor de la recuperación de internet como espacio público, abierto, libre y gratuito en contra de su actual evolución como espacio privado, cerrado, controlado y de pago. Josep Ibáñez es profesor de Relaciones Internacionales en la Universidad Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona). Sus principales ámbitos de interés científico son la economía política internacional, la teoría de las relaciones internacionales y el análisis de la política exterior.

Essentials of Intellectual Property

Type Book
Author Alexander I. Poltorak
Abstract This book is the liveliest, best-written and most thorough introduction to the fundamentals of this subject. Yet it goes beyond the framework of basic IP protection to discuss emerging concepts as well as inside information immediately useful in the real world. In short, it forms the next rung in the advancement of IP management up the ladder from an art to a science. ( Samson Vermont, founder of the periodical Patent Strategy Patent Attorney) Poltorak and Lerner deliver a remarkable new book, just in time, for the layperson who wants to study the modern intellectual property landscape. In a style that prompts, guides, and mentors the reader, the book should prove invaluable to those who need to acquire enough of an understanding of the material to keep out of trouble. Easy to read and free of jargon and difficult legal language, the book is one I will recommend to those who want a straightforward introduction to an increasingly important legal specialty.

Ethical regulation of the Internet: the challenges of global governance

Type Journal Article
Author Stéphane Astier
Abstract Multiregulation, a central support system for the ethical regulation of the Internet, provides a solution which is both complex and difficult to realize. It gives another vision of the methods of law production, as the characteristics of the internet imply an almost instantaneous and largely harmonized law. It also gives another vision of the application of the law since priority will be given to the means of making the players responsible in the context of promoting self-regulation tools. Accordingly, the harmonization of international law must make the progressive creation of a global public order system possible, to which all states will be likely to commit themselves. This harmonization aims at a progressive reconciliation of the rules, particularly those applicable within cyberspace.

Ethics and Technology: Ethical Issues in an Age of Information and Communication Technology

Type Book
Author Robert, A. Schultz
Abstract Information technology has produced new ethical challenges and concerns in dealing with issues about privacy, security, piracy and professional ethics. Contemporary Issues in Ethics and Information Technology discusses these issues as well as other important ethical issues such as the outsourcing of high-level jobs and the value of IT itself. The main framework for ethical problems used in Contemporary Issues in Ethics and Information Technology is derived from the work of the late philosopher John Rawls. Rawls’ contribution to ethics was a theory of justice rooted in the social contract theory of the Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution. The author’s discussion of the value of IT also builds on the views of the philosopher, Martin Heidegger, on modern technology as an independent force in human existence with its own point-of-view. This book provides guidance for IT professionals and users for practical ethical problems.

Fighting Terror Online: The Convergence of Security, Technology, and the Law

Type Book
Author Martin Charles Golumbic
Abstract This book presents the position that the online environment is a significant and relevant theater of activity in the fight against terror, and will identify the threats, the security needs, and the issues that are unique to this environment. We examine whether the unique characteristics of this environment require new legal solutions, or whether existing solutions are sufficient. Three areas of online activity are identified that require reexamination: security, monitoring, and propaganda. For each of these, we will indicate the issues, examine existing legal arrangements, and offer guidelines for formulating legal policy. There is a demonstrated need to relate to the digital environment as a battlefront, map the new security threats, and thereby hope to provide focus to the pressing discussion on today’s legislative and technological agenda.

Foucault In Cyberspace: Surveillance, Sovereignty, and Hard-Wired Censors

Type Journal Article
Author James Boyle
Abstract This is an essay about law in cyberspace. I focus on three interdependent phenomena: a set of political and legal assumptions that I call the jurisprudence of digital libertarianism, a separate but related set of beliefs about the state’s supposed inability to regulate the Internet, and a preference for technological solutions to hard legal issues on-line. I make the familiar criticism that digital libertarianism is inadequate because of its blindness towards the effects of private power, and the less familiar claim that digital libertarianism is also surprisingly blind to the state’s own power in cyberspace. In fact, I argue that the conceptual structure and jurisprudential assumptions of digital libertarianism lead its practitioners to ignore the ways in which the state can often use privatized enforcement and state-backed technologies to evade some of the supposed practical (and constitutional) restraints on the exercise of legal power over the Net. Finally, I argue that technological solutions which provide the keys to the first two phenomena are neither as neutral nor as benign as they are currently perceived to be. Some of my illustrations will come from the current Administration proposals for Internet copyright regulation, others from the Communications Decency Act(3) and the cryptography debate. In the process, I make opportunistic and unsystematic use of the late Michel Foucault’s work to criticise some the jurisprudential orthodoxy of the Net.

Abstract This comment discusses the regulation of content on the World Wide Web, while focusing on the recent international conflict between the United States and France in UEJF v. Yahoo! Inc.’ The author’s goal in this comment is to provide a better understanding of the differences in opinion held by the two nations by comparing the development of their Internet use and respective Internet policies. The comment discusses, in some detail, the Yahoo! proceedings that have occurred so far2in France and the United States. This author concludes that the conflict can be best resolved by placing the burden of complying with their nation’s laws and regulations upon the users of the Internet.

Google’s China Problem (and China’s Google Problem)

Abstract For many young people in China, Kai-Fu Lee is a celebrity. Not quite on the level of a movie star like Edison Chen or the singers in the boy band F4, but for a 44-year-old computer scientist who invariably appears in a somber dark suit, he can really draw a crowd. When Lee, the new head of operations for Google in China, gave a lecture at one Chinese university about how young Chinese should compete with the rest of the world, scalpers sold tickets for $60 apiece. At another, an audience of 8,000 showed up; students sprawled out on the ground, fixed on every word.

Hypercrime: The New Geometry of Harm

Type Book
Author Michael McGuire
Abstract Hypercrime develops a new theoretical approach toward current reformulations in criminal behaviours, in particular the phenomenon of cybercrime. Emphasizing a spatialized conception of deviance, one that clarifies the continuities between crime in the traditional, physical context and developing spaces of interaction such as a ‘cyberspace’, this book analyzes criminal behaviours in terms of the destructions, degradations or incursions to a hierarchy of regions that define our social world. Each chapter outlines violations to the boundaries of each of these spaces - from those defined by our bodies or our property, to the more subtle borders of the local and global spaces we inhabit. By treating cybercrime as but one instance of various possible criminal virtualities, the book develops a general theoretical framework, as equally applicable to the, as yet unrealized, technologies of criminal behaviour of the next century, as it is to those which relate to contemporary computer networks. Cybercrime is thereby conceptualized as one of a variety of geometries of harm, merely the latest of many that have extended opportunities for illicit gain in the physical world. Hypercrime offers a radical critique of the narrow conceptions of cybercrime offered by current justice systems and challenges the governing presumptions about the nature of the threat posed by it.

Identity Theft, Privacy, and the Architecture of Vulnerability

Type Journal Article
Author Daniel J. Solove
Abstract This Article contrasts two models for understanding and protecting against privacy violations. Traditionally, privacy violations have been understood as invasive actions by particular wrongdoers who cause direct injury to victims. Victims experience embarrassment, mental distress, or harm to their reputations. Privacy is not infringed until these mental injuries materialize. Thus, the law responds when a person’s deepest secrets are exposed, reputation is tarnished, or home is invaded. Under the traditional view, privacy is an individual right, remedied at the initiative of the individual.

Impacts of New Technologies on Regulatory Regimes

Type Journal Article
Author Jérôme Bezzina
Author Mostafa Terrab
Abstract Abstract: Traditional regulatory doctrine has been called into question by rapid technological change and convergence. With the migration to packet switched networks, the emergence of the internet protocol (IP) and the expansion of the mobile industry, regulators are encountering major challenges in responding to new innovations “just in time” by adjusting regulatory frameworks and legislation. The paper’s objective is to discuss the foundations of such a new regulatory framework and stimulate debate on how to ensure successful ICT/telecommunications regulation in a world of technological convergence. The paper opens with a presentation of the main technological trends at stake within the core of the traditional regulatory regime. Major consequences on the ICT sector are subsequently analysed in the second section of the paper, with an emphasis on structural change that may affect the sector as a whole. Taking overall market structure into account, the third section offers indications of the probable implications of technology trends on the very roots of regulatory regimes. The conclusion tries to represent the challenges of the new regulatory paradigm by addressing the probable implications of technology trends on a specific regulatory issue, namely interconnection. Key words: regulation, convergence, technologies.

Incident Response and Computer Forensics

Type Book
Author Chris Prosise
Author Kevin Mandia
Author Matt Pepe
Abstract A strong system of defenses will save your systems from falling victim to published and otherwise uninventive attacks, but even the most heavily defended system can be cracked under the right conditions. Incident Response aims to teach you how to determine when an attack has occurred or is underway–they’re often hard to spot–and show you what to do about it. Authors Kevin Mandia and Chris Prosise favor a tools- and procedures-centric approach to the subject, thereby distinguishing this book from others that catalog particular attacks and methods for dealing with each one. The approach is more generic, and therefore better suited to dealing with newly emerging attack techniques. Anti-attack procedures are presented with the goal of identifying, apprehending, and successfully prosecuting attackers. The advice on carefully preserving volatile information, such as the list of processes active at the time of an attack, is easy to follow. The book is quick to endorse tools, the functionalities of which are described so as to inspire creative applications. Information on bad-guy behavior is top quality as well, giving readers knowledge of how to interpret logs and other observed phenomena. Mandia and Prosise don’t–and can’t–offer a foolproof guide to catching crackers in the act, but they do offer a great “best practices” guide to active surveillance. –David Wall

Abstract Information Ethics: Privacy and Intellectual Property provides an up-to-date discussion of the main ethical issues that face today’s information-intensive society, including the areas of intellectual property rights, privacy, accessibility and censorship. The explosive growth of information technology, increased competition in the global marketplace, and the rush to use information in an effort to protect society from terrorism has led to the unintended erosion of rights and duties that are often considered fundamental. Through chapters written by some of today’s leading Information Ethics researchers, this book provides the reader with a thorough overview of the current state of Information Ethics, the dangers and opportunities presented by information technology, and potential solutions to the risks currently faced by today’s information society.

Internet Governance: A Grand Collaboration

Type Report
Author Don MacLean
Abstract Realizing the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) vision of constructing Internet governance arrangements that are multilateral, transparent and democratic with the full involvement of all stakeholders is a noble challenge. Meeting it will require goodwill among all parties, as well as good information on which to base decisions. The papers contributed to the United Nations Information and Communication Technologies Task Force (ICT TF) Global Forum on Internet Governance contain a lot of useful information on how many different organizations are already governing the Internet and its effects on society. At the same time the papers suggest that a number of important issues are not being addressed effectively, and that in some areas there is an urgent need to put in place new arrangements to counter real and present threats to the stability and utility of the Internet. These contributions helped participants in the Forum begin the process of building a global consensus on Internet governance – a process that hopefully will continue beyond the second phase of the WSIS. As a result of these contributions, the vision of a “grand collaboration” on Internet governance is a step closer to reality. Internet Governance: A Grand Collaboration is the fifth publication of the United Nations ICT Task Force series. The Task Force was established by Secretary-General Kofi Annan to help identify ways to harness the potential of ICT for economic and social development by promoting partnerships of public, private, non-profit and civil society stakeholders to advance the global effort to bridge the digital divide. Don MacLean is an independent consultant specialized in the development of ICT-related policies and strategies at the national and international levels. He has held several senior policy and planning positions in the Canadian Department of Communications.

Investigating Child Exploitation and Pornography: The Internet, Law and Forensic Science

Type Book
Author Monique Ferraro
Author Eoghan Casey
Abstract Crime scenes associated with child sexual exploitation and trafficking in child pornography were once limited to physical locations such as school playgrounds, church vestibules, trusted neighbors’ homes, camping trips and seedy darkly lit back rooms of adult bookstores. The explosion of Internet use has created a virtual hunting ground for sexual predators and has fueled a brisk, multi-billion dollar trade in the associated illicit material. Approximately half of the caseload in computer crimes units involves the computer assisted sexual exploitation of children. Despite the scale of this problem, or perhaps because of it, there are no published resources that bring together the complex mingling of disciplines and expertise required to put together a computer assisted child exploitation case. This work fills this void, providing police, prosecutors and forensic examiners with the historical, legal, technical, and social background for the laws prohibiting child exploitation, in particular, child pornography. The book will become an indispensable resource for those involved in the investigation, prosecution and study of computer-assisted child sexual exploitation.
