  .@lawdotcom celebrates 20th anniversary of Zeran v. AOL #netfreedom 

  On November 10 2017 Eric Goldman and Jeff Kossoff published Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of Internet Law’s Most Important Judicial Decision to mark the 20th anniversary of Zeran v. AOL, a landmark decision by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals that clarified and defined 47 U.S.C. §230 aka Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act which established the principle of immunity from liability for ‘intermediary’ providers e.g. ISPs. The article notes

  Together, §230 and the Zeran ruling helped create a trillion-dollar industry centered around user-generated content. Because of its influence on such a key issue, the Zeran ruling is widely considered the most important Internet Law ruling ever.

  The article introduces a series of essays by Internet law experts, including Jonathan Zittrain, James Grimmelmann, and Olivier Sylvain,on the history, merits and impact of the ruling.

  VIDEO: #3DPrinting in a 2D Legal Landscape @LegalHackNYC #legalhack 

  On February 9 2015 the NY Legal Hackers Meetup presented 3D Printing in a 2D Legal Landscape at The Yard in NYC. A panel examined the issues from three perspectives: 1) the current legal landscape and how it may impact consumer 3D printing, such as IP, product liability, food and drug, and controlled substance/items laws; 2) current efforts at making 3D printing a legitimate fixture in the consumer realm; and 3) minor and bold solutions to avoid a fractured legal framework for consumer 3D printing, ranging from IP and tort overhaul to mandatory licensing schemes. SPEAKERS: Kaiser Wahab, Attorney and Partner, Riveles Wahab LLP; Zachary Lichaa, Public Policy at 3D Hubs; Jeff Trexler, Attorney, Writer, and Professor. Video is below.

  VIDEO: @legalhackNYC – Legal Issues in the #SharingEconomy #legalhack 

  On November 19 2014 Legal Hackers NYC and Launch LM presented ‘Legal Issues in the Sharing Economy‘ at Joynture NYC. The proliferation of companies rooted in the sharing economy — a socio-economic system built around the sharing of human and physical resources — has been making headlines as Airbnb, Uber, Lyft, and other startups quickly amass users while grappling with laws hostile to their missions. While there is no doubt that sharing economy principles often challenge local regulatory schemes related to health, safety, labor, and taxes, they can also create entrepreneurial opportunities while promoting social good. This panel explores the pros and cons of the sharing economy and the reactions of local governments to these companies’ attempts to either flout, circumvent, or challenge local laws. PANEL: Diana Dellamere, Public Policy Manager, Lyft; Henry Imber, General Manager, onefinestay; Amyt Eckstein, Counsel, Moses & Singer. MODERATOR: Jonathan Askin, Professor, Brooklyn Law School. Video is below.

  VIDEO: Content Aggregation: Fair Use or a Use Too Far? @theCSUSA #copyright 

  On October 24 2013 the Copyright Society of the USA NY Chapter presented: Content Aggregation: Fair Use or a Use Too Far? at the Princeton Club in NYC. Some of the most popular websites are based upon the aggregation of other parties’ published news, photos, television clips and other content. Aggregators who collect and post third-party content tout the utility of their “one-stop viewing” sites and argue that theirs is a fair use of the content. Content owners, however, complain that aggregators profit from their content without providing fair compensation, and that they are not benefiting from the recent surge in digital advertising revenues received by big technology companies such as Google and Facebook. Two recent decisions in the Southern District of New York have re-focused attention on this increasingly important topic: The Associated Press v. Meltwater, in which the court ruled that a media monitoring service’s aggregation of news story excerpts provided to paying subscribers was not fair use, and Authors Guild v. HathiTrust (now on appeal to the Second Circuit), in which the court upheld the creation of an index based on Google’s scanning of millions of books in its library project as fair use. Further, in September Judge Chin heard oral argument in Authors Guild v. Google on whether the posting of book excerpts on Google Books qualifies as fair use, and Fox News recently sued TVEYES, an aggregator of clips from television broadcasts. The panel discussed the evolving law and public policy issues related to these cases and the broader topic of aggregation. Panelists: Bill Herman, Hunter College CUNY; Andy Sellars, Digital Media Law Project and Berkman Center for Internet & Society; and Linda Steinman, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP. Moderator was Elizabeth McNamara, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP. Video/audio is below.

  @FordhamCLIP releases #Internet #jurisdiction study 

  The Fordham Center on Law and Information Policy (CLIP) has issued a report “Internet Jurisdiction: A Survey of Legal Scholarship Published in English and United States Case Law” examining the case law and legal literature analyzing jurisdiction for claims arising out of Internet activity in the United States. The report finds that despite definitive case law, the practice of U.S. courts “lacks uniformity”.

  The report concludes:

  With respect to U.S. case law,the research indicates that issues surrounding Internet jurisdiction gravitate toward the Ninth Circuit and the Second Circuit more so than other federal circuits. Further, the research demonstrates that, contrary to the body of academic literature, U.S. courts predominantly adjudicate matters of personal jurisdiction in Internet cases rather than other subsets of jurisdiction, and that Internet jurisdiction issues trend toward intellectual property and defamation cases. With regard to how Internet jurisdictional matters are settled within U.S. jurisprudence, the research results indicate that the Zippo and Calder tests remain the dominant ones applied, but that these tests are not mutually-exclusive. Although Zippo is most often applied in matters of specific jurisdiction, there exists a varied and, at times, blurred framework which incorporates the Zippo sliding scale and Calder’s effects test, as well as traditional standards for personal jurisdiction. Therefore, although the landscape for Internet jurisdiction matters has clear, predominant legal standards and tests, on the whole, when and how these are applied by U.S. courts lacks uniformity.

  A companion study, “Internet Jurisdiction: A Survey of German Scholarship and Cases” was issued simultaneously. It reports that, although various trends can be identified within German and EU case law, no consensus on the treatment of international jurisdiction can be ascertained.

  From its conclusion:

  Within the discussion of the courts’ power over litigants, three trends can be identified in the opinions. First, this report shows that one view regards the mere accessibility of a website as a determinative factor that establishes jurisdiction everywhere in the world. This concept is often called “flying jurisdiction.” A second view adds the element of “intention” and would require intentional accessibility. Finally, the report shows that the third view treats the German Federal Supreme Court’s New York Times decision as introducing a new test wherein the website needs to have an objective domestic connection. Articles discussing this case focus on three main issues. First, articles describe the test as too vague and too imprecise to achieve legal certainty, however they note that the court at least made clear that mere accessibility is insufficient. Second, some articles raise the question of whether that test can and should have a broader application beyond the scope of personality rights cases, e.g. in intellectual property rights infringement cases. Lastly, a few articles find it unfortunate that the eDate decision of the European Court of Justice failed to establish equal treatment of § 32 ZPO and Article 5(3) of the European Regulation 44/2001, and missed the chance to create uniformity in Europe and Germany.

  VIDEO: The Business and Law of Emerging Revenue Streams in UGC #LegalHackers #ugc 

  On May 30 2013 the NYC Legal Hackers presented The Business and Law of Emerging Revenue Streams in UGC at Projective Space NYC. The event looked at the law and business of monetizing user generated content (UGC). With huge amounts of content uploaded daily, both companies and users are looking for innovative revenue streams that capitalize on the massive audience and frictionless distribution of UGC. A panel of lawyers, content managers, and an author talked about the unique opportunities and unexpected legal hurdles associated with this new and growing marketplace. The event concluded with a presentation from Legal Hackers founder Phil Weiss of an idea for an interactive terms of service (ToS) framework that might benefit hosts and users alike. Video is below.

  VIDEO: Supreme Court Kirtsaeng Decision on First Sale Rights and Geographic Limitations on Exhaustion @theCSUSA #copyright 

  On April 30 2013 the Copyright Society of the USA NY Chapter presented: A Matter of Import: Supreme Court’s Kirtsaeng Decision Revisits First Sale Doctrine and Tackles Geographic Limitations on Exhaustion at The Princeton Club in NYC. A panel of experts discussed the U.S. Supreme Court March 19, 2013 decision in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., ruling that the first sale doctrine trumped Wiley’s right to control importation of copyrighted works into the U.S. The decision allowed an enterprising college student, Kirtsaeng, to import Wiley textbooks lawfully made in Thailand into the U.S., where he sold them online for a healthy profit. The holding has potentially far reaching implications both for U.S. copyright owners who wish to price their offerings differently in different jurisdictions, and for consumers of copyrighted works seeking the lowest prices. Panelists: Allan Adler, General Counsel and Vice President for Government Affairs for the Association of American Publishers (AAP); Lisa T. Simpson of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, who served as Kirtsaeng’s counsel in the case; and Jennifer Pariser, Senior Vice President of Litigation & Anti-Piracy for RIAA. Moderator was Professor Dan Hunter of New York Law School. Video is below. No transcript.

  VIDEO: House hearing on Internet Governance legislation #netfreedom #house #wcit 

  On April 10 and 11 2013 the US House of Representives Energy and Commerce Committee Subcommittee on Communications and Technology held a hearing Markup of H.R. __, A Bill to Affirm the Policy of the United States Regarding Internet Governance While a similar resolution (against government regulation and supporting multistakeholderism) passed unanimously at the time of the WCIT last year, this attempt to pass similar language into law met with some opposition, as it might inhibit the FCC’s ability to regulate domestically, for example, net neutrality. The discussion highlighted partisan differences on the issue, but there was consensus that common ground could, and should, be found. Ultimately, it went back to the drawing board. Video is below.

  Video: Hot Links – After Flava Works, Will Linking Burn You? @theCSUSA #copyright #linking 

  On November 12, 2012 the Copyright Society of the USA NY Chapter presented: Hot Links – After Flava Works, Will Linking Burn You? at The Princeton Club in NYC.

  Panelists explored the recent Flava Works vs MyVidster decision in the Seventh Circuit on liability for in-line linking, contrasting it to the Ninth Circuit’s holding in Perfect 10, and expanding the discussion to online copyright linking more generally, a la Pinterest, etc., any “bright lines” that do or do not exist in this area, and the potential commercial impact of court rulings on linking. Professor Eva Subotnik of St. John’s Law School moderated, with panelists Greg Leighton of Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg LLP (counsel for defendant in Flava Works) and Marty Schwimmer of Leason Ellis (pioneering IP blogger).

    One topic broached is the possibility of class actions by compromised users, and some company’s efforts to do an end around by forbidding same in their terms of use. Details of such can be found in LinkedIn Security Breach Triggers $5 Million Lawsuit (InformationWeek)
