Software that warns kids about online predators is
coming to Ontario schools as part of an initiative to

alone at night in the big city," said Bryant. "Danger

Information Asymmetry and Thwarting Spam by Thede
Loder, Marshall Van Alstyne, Rick Wash (all University
of Michigan)
ABSTRACT: We explore a novel approach to spam based on
economic rather than technological or regulatory
screening mechanisms. Our rst point is that
mechanisms designed to promote valuable communication
can often outperform those designed merely to block
wasteful communication. Our second is to shift focus
from the information in the message to the information
known to the sender. We can then use principles of
information asymmetry to cause people who knowingly
misuse communication to incur higher costs than those
who do not. In certain cases, though not all, we can
show this approach leaves recipients better o than
even an idealized or \perfect" lter that costs
nothing and makes no mistakes. Our mechanism also
accounts for individual differences in opportunity
costs, and allows for bi-directional wealth transfers
while facilitating both sender signaling and recipient
screening.

"The Clear and Present Internet: Terrorism,
Cyberspace, and the First Amendment"
Many terrorist groups share a common goal with
mainstream organizations and institutions: the search
for greater efficiency through the Internet. This
pursuit of on-line efficiency has spawned a First
Amendment dilemma. The Internet�s ability to link
geographically dispersed individuals to changing data
without the filtering provided by traditional media is
a substantial asset for domestic and transnational
networks, from violent white supremacist groups1 to Al
Qaeda.2 However, much of the Web�s terrorism-related
content, including the abstract advocacy of violence,
has manifest value as an exercise of free speech.
Modern First Amendment jurisprudence protects extreme
speech as a form of engagement in the polity, and
responds to fears that unleashing the government on
speakers will permit the targeting of groups outside
the perceived mainstream.3 Nevertheless, some Internet
communications intended for the mobilization and
implementation of violence should forfeit protection.
The difficulty lies in drawing lines that reach
Internet communication the state can legitimately
prohibit without chilling protected speech.

Abstract: Digital signatures enhance the ability of

communication. Sophisticated encryption and decryption
technology is used to verify the identity of the other
party to the electronic transaction. Digital signature
law, necessary for adjudication of disputes between
parties in e-commerce, is still in its infancy. This
article covers basic digital signature law of the
United Nations, the European Union, the United
Kingdom, and the United States.

Regulation of Electronic Employee Monitoring:
Identifying Fundamental Principles of Employee Privacy
through a Comparative Study of Data Privacy
Legislation in the European Union, United States and
Canada  by Gail Lasprogata, Nancy J. King, and Sukanya
Pillay  
This article compares the regulation of electronic
employee monitoring in the European Union, the United
States and Canada in an attempt to reconcile
conflicting legal standards regarding workplace
privacy as they are evolving simultaneously with
technological advances. Included is an extensive
discussion of the European Union�s widely influential
privacy directive and its application in the context
of electronic employee monitoring, relevant U.S.
legislation such as the Electronic Communications
Privacy Act (ECPA), HIPAA and the ADA, and Canada�s
newly enacted Personal Information Protection and
Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Also included is a
detailed comparative analysis of the regulatory
approaches to employee privacy taken in these
jurisdictions. Drawn from this analysis are
fundamental privacy principles which inform employers
of the parameters of employee privacy protection where
electronic monitoring is a desired management
practice. The authors argue that these principles
create an equitable paradigm that rightfully protects
employee dignity while recognizing legitimate
management needs.

Shadow Government: Private Regulation, Free Speech,
and Lessons from the Sinclair Blogstorm by MARVIN
AMMORI, Yale Law School
Abstract: This paper analyzes the apparently emerging
phenomenon of private regulation through ad hoc online
coalitions. It evaluates the online cost structures
that permit and shape the collective action underlying
this form of regulation. It also evaluates the
motivations and capacity necessary in particular
circumstances to inspire such regulation. The paper
concludes that a necessary motivation is the
perception of both a market and a government failure.
The paper's primary evidence comes from an
internet-enabled campaign to change the behavior of a
broadcast company weeks before the 2004 election. As
this private regulation targeted speech, many of the
paper's conclusions are particularly relevant for
future instances of private speech regulation. The
paper also addresses some normative implications of
these campaigns, especially when aimed at private
speech. It concludes that internet-enabled private
speech regulation can often undermine FirstAmendment
values. Private speech regulation, however, is
pervasive and often necessary. It always undermines
some First Amendment values at the expense of other
values. The question for policy-makers and judges is
therefore which forms of private speech regulation are
more or less desirable, or have more or less
constitutional protection.
