Anticipatory Electronic Surveillance in Anglo-American Law (Stanford Technology 
Law Review)
The principles behind the Fourth Amendment's Search and Seizure clause are 
found throughout Anglo-American jurisprudence. This body of law reflects a 
history of attempting to harmonize the seemingly conflicting governmental goals 
of communication privacy on the one hand, and protecting the public safety and 
national security on the other. Nations adopt surveillance doctrines, driven 
largely by the realities of the technology. As technologies change, assumptions 
behind doctrines can become outdated.

Does Power Grow Out of the Barrel of a Modem? Some Thoughts on Jack Gold Smith 
and Tim Wu's Who Controls the Internet? by GLENN HARLAN REYNOLDS (Stanford Law 
and Policy Review)
Abstract: This review of Jack Goldsmith and Tim Wu's Who Controls the Internet? 
Illusions of a Borderless World, notes that Goldsmith and Wu are correct in 
concluding that events in recent years undercut cyber-utopian theories of an 
Internet that is beyond the reach of national sovereignty. It argues, however, 
that the failure to achieve such goals does not mean that the Internet is 
unimportant as a source of expanded freedom and power on the part of ordinary 
people, and suggests that this trend of individual empowerment is likely to 
continue.

Keeping the Internet Neutral?: Christopher S. Yoo and Timothy Wu Debate 
(Vanderbilt Public Law Research Paper...)
Abstract: Network neutrality has emerged as one of the highest profile issues 
in telecommunications and Internet policy last year. Not only did it play a 
pivotal role in both houses of Congress during debates over proposed 
communications reform legislation; it also emerged as a key consideration 
during the Federal Communications Commission consideration of the recent 
SBC-AT&T, Verizon-MCI, and AT&T-BellSouth mergers. In the following exchange, 
Professors Christopher Yoo and Tim Wu engage in a lively debate over the merits 
of network neutrality that reviews the leading arguments on both sides of the 
issue.

Current Responses to Sexual Grooming: Implication for Prevention by SAMANTHA 
CRAVEN, SARAH BROWN & ELIZABETH GILCHRIST (Howard Journal of Criminal Justice)
Abstract: This article aims to outline current responses to sexual grooming; 
specific attention will be given to new legislation introduced in England and 
Wales under the Sexual Offences Act 2003. Following an outline of this new 
legislation, consideration will be given to its effectiveness, including 
practical difficulties that are likely to restrict its scope. Issues to be 
discussed include: poor definition and understanding of sexual grooming, scope 
of legislation in relation to non-Internet grooming, difficulties in 
identifying sexual grooming, and a failure of the new legislation to be truly 
preventative. The article concludes by supporting Richard Laws's suggestion 
that the most effective prevention of child sexual abuse would result from 
adopting a public health approach.

Internet Defamation and Choice of Law in Dow Jones & Company Inc. v. Gutnick by 
GARY K Y CHAN (Singapore Journal of Legal Studies)
Abstract: This article focuses on choice of law in the context of Internet 
defamation with reference to a recent Australian High Court decision, Dow Jones 
v. Gutnick. The case raised a myriad of issues ranging from comparative 
defamation laws (and value systems) of the United States versus Australia, the 
meaning of “publication” and the need for Internet-specific legal reforms. 
These issues interact with and have an impact upon the choice of law problem. 
This article discusses the various alternatives for resolving the choice of law 
problem. It concludes by tentatively recommending some choice of law rules in 
the context of Internet defamation.

Defamatory Internet Speech: A Defense of the Status Quo by ANTHONY MICHAEL 
CIOLLI (Quinnipiac Law Review)
Abstract: This brief essay is a critique of Glenn Reynold's paper Libel in the 
Blogosphere: Some Preliminary Thoughts. I conclude that Reynolds's proposal to 
treat defamatory internet and blog speech as slander, while well-intentioned, 
would have a devastating impact on defamation victims' ability to recover due 
to the interplay between Reynold's proposal and Section 230 of the 
Communications Decency Act.

Applicable Law Aspects of Copyright Infringement on the Internet: What 
Principles Should Apply? by ANDREA ANTONELLI (Singapore Journal of Legal 
Studies)
Abstract: Digital technology, and particularly the Internet, is reducing the 
cost of publishing works, but has also made the unauthorised copying and 
distributing of works virtually costless. Despite the level of harmonisation of 
copyright laws worldwide, achieved through the Berne Convention, the TRIPs 
Agreement and WIPO Copyright Treaty, such copyright infringements on the 
Internet still give rise to a number of relevant conflict of laws issues. This 
article focuses on the analysis of the applicable law rules provided under the 
Berne Convention in relation to economic and moral rights in the light of the 
various technical scenarios of copyright infringement in cyberspace. From this 
perspective, it also attempts to assess if and to what extent it is possible to 
attribute a new meaning to too often datable applicable law principles.

Why phishing works by Rachna Dhamija, J. D. Tygar & Marti Hearst
To build systems shielding users from fraudulent (or phishing) websites, 
designers need to know which attack strategies work and why. This paper 
provides the first empirical evidence about which malicious strategies are 
successful at deceiving general users. We first analyzed a large set of 
captured phishing attacks and developed a set of hypotheses about why these 
strategies might work. We then assessed these hypotheses with a usability study 
in which 22 participants were shown 20 web sites and asked to determine which 
ones were fraudulent. We found that 23% of the participants did not look at 
browser-based cues such as the address bar, status bar and the security 
indicators, leading to incorrect choices 40% of the time. We also found that 
some visual deception attacks can fool even the most sophisticated users. These 
results illustrate that standard security indicators are not effective for a 
substantial fraction of users, and suggest that alternative approaches are 
needed.

One of the things that really disgusts me about users of child pornography is 
that we probably all know at least one. Internet sites featuring the abuse of 
children are practically two a penny: the laws of supply and demand suggest 
that people’s appetite for them is vast (I don’t buy the feeble Pete 
Townshend-style argument about “curiosity”. Most “curious” people don’t need to 
see what children look like while they’re being raped).
