Declan,
|
|
|

Your readers may be interested in this serious threat to "fair use"
|
|
and the transmission of "facts" online.

=====================================================
|
|
Interested organizations/companies are invited to sign onto the
|
|
following letter, which addresses concerns that have been raised
|
|
regarding a proposed new Treaty concerning access to electronic
|
|
databases. The Treaty is expected to be discussed at the diplomatic
|
|
conference in Geneva this December on behalf of the World Intellectual
|
|
Property Organization. The proposed Treaty grants a new property
|
|
right to database owners, which does not incorporate a public "fair
|
|
use" doctrine, or other traditional copyright conventions.
|
|
|
|
Recent analyses of the Treaty by Jamie Love of the Consumer Project on
|
|
Technology indicates that the Treaty will create a new property right
|
|
in facts and other data now in the public domain. It would, for
|
|
example, significantly change the way sports statistics are controlled
|
|
and disseminated, and also impact the way that stock prices, weather
|
|
data, train schedules, data from AIDS research and other facts are
|
|
used and controlled.
|
|
|
|
Jamie writes:
|
|
|
|
The treaty seeks, for the first time, to permit firms to "own"
|
|
facts they gather, and to restrict and control the redissemination
|
|
of those facts. The new property right would lie outside (and on
|
|
top) of the copyright laws, and create an entirely new and
|
|
untested form of regulation that would radically change the
|
|
public's current rights to use and disseminate facts and
|
|
statistics. American University Law Professor Peter Jaszi
|
|
recently said the treaty represents "the end of the public
|
|
domain."
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
analysis of the impact on sports statistics is available at:

|
|
|
|
Copyright experts J.H. Reichman and Pamela Samuelson say it is the
|
|
"least balanced and most potentially anti-competitive intellectual
|
|
property rights ever created."

U.S. Department of Commerce
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dear Commisioner Lehman:
|
|
|
|
We, the undersigned organizations, are writing to express our concern
|
|
over the "Draft Treaty in Respect to Databases" to be discussed at the
|
|
diplomatic conference in Geneva this December on behalf of the World
|
|
Intellectual Property Organization (the "Treaty"). The proposed
|
|
Treaty grants a new sui generis property right, which does not
|
|
incorporate a public "fair use" doctrine, or other traditional
|
|
copyright conventions.
|
|
|
|
If enacted as proposed, the Treaty will do violence to the
|
|
long-established practice in the academic and scientific communities
|
|
of sharing information for educational and research purposes and will
|
|
commercialize certain information that is and has always been freely
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
Section 1.03 of the proposed Treaty claims that current technology
|
|
allows databases to be reproduced at "practically no cost." This is
|
|
not true. An online database is a complex system with much underlying
|
|
structure that the user never sees. Accessing or copying large
|
|
portions of the database at minimal or no cost is simply not feasible.
|
|
But, the proposed Treaty would make the use of databases by the public
|
|
or scientific and research communities even more prohibitive by
|
|
permitting database owners or vendors to arbitrarily determine what
|
|
portion of a database can be extracted, used, or reused.
|
|
|
|
Section 1.04 of the proposed Treaty argues that the originality
|
|
requirement of U.S. Copyright law does not provide sufficient
|
|
protection for database producers. This statement is curious in light
|
|
of a long U.S. legal tradition protecting free speech and authorship
|
|
on the grounds that facts cannot be copyrighted or otherwise removed
|
|
from the public domain. By creating a new property right for facts,
|
|
the Treaty will impose regulations on the use of facts -- an idea that
|
|
flies in the face of American history and values. The twin dangers
|
|
are that we will now have to pay to buy collections of "facts" in the
|
|
public domain, which we did not have to pay for before and that
|
|
monopolies will be sanctioned and created by the Treaty. In other
|
|
words, the Treaty strikes down "fair use" and extends sui generis
|
|
protections to public and private collections.
|
|
|
|
Section 1.04 becomes increasingly incomprehensible in light of the
|
|
Section 10.05 proposal that "Contracting Parties may design the exact
|
|
field of application of the provisions envisaged in this Article
|
|
taking into consideration the need to avoid legislation that would
|
|
impede lawful practices and the lawful use of subject matter that is
|
|
in the public domain." In order to implement the spirit of Section
|
|
10.05, Section 1.04 and its progeny must be discarded.
|
|
|
|
Consider the numerous categories of public information for which only
|
|
one practical and/or cost effective information source exists. The
|
|
practical result of the Treaty will be to create commercial monopolies
|
|
on these public information sources. Examples include telephone
|
|
directory information, weather data, "official" sports statistics,
|
|
government data administered under private contracts (such as the
|
|
Official Airline Guide data) and other similar public information.
|
|
|
|
It is shocking that the United States Government is seriously
|
|
considering supporting a proposal that will operate to maximize
|
|
profits to a small number of database vendors at the expense of the
|
|
public at large without first undertaking a careful domestic review of
|
|
these concerns. We urge you to examine this issue through
|
|
Congressional hearings and other meaningful public discussion.
|
|
|

Sincerely,
|
|
Marcy J. Gordon, Esq.

|
|
|
|
The common law action of trespass to real property served to
|
|
establish and preserve the very notion of "property" in
|
|
land. Many of the words used to describe Web sites have a
|
|
basis in real property: the word "site" itself is one, as
|
|
are such expressions as "home" pages, "visiting" Web sites,
|
|
"traveling" to a site and the like. This usage suggests that
|
|
the trespass action might appropriately be applied to Web
|
|
sites as well. The question is not merely academic, for the
|
|
"obvious" protections-technology and copyright law-may not
|
|
work. That analogies to real property trespass *can* be made
|
|
does not suggest, however, that they *should* be made. The
|
|
fundamental issue is whether the treatment of Web sites as
|
|
property makes sense in light of the justifications for the
|
|
institution of property generally. Four strands of property
|
|
theory-Locke's natural rights, Bentham's utilitarianism,
|
|
Hardin's "tragedy of the commons," and Radin's "property as
|
|
personhood"-turn out to yield strong justifications for
|
|
treating Web sites as property and hence for the application
|
|
to them of the common law of trespass.

|
Global computer-based communications cut across territorial
|
|
borders, creating a new realm of human activity and
|
|
undermining the feasibility--and legitimacy--of applying
|
|
laws based on geographic boundaries. While these electronic
|
|
communications play havoc with geographic boundaries, a new
|
|
boundary, made up of the screens and passwords that separate
|
|
the virtual world from the "real world" of atoms, emerges.
|
|
This new boundary defines a distinct Cyberspace that needs
|
|
and can create new law and legal institutions of its own.
|
|
Territorially-based law-making and law-enforcing authorities
|
|
find this new environment deeply threatening. But
|
|
established territorial authorities may yet learn to defer
|
|
to the self-regulatory efforts of Cyberspace participants
|
|
who care most deeply about this new digital trade in ideas,
|
|
information, and services. Separated from doctrine tied to
|
|
territorial jurisdictions, new rules will emerge, in a
|
|
variety of on-line spaces, to govern a wide range of new
|
|
phenomena that have no clear parallel in the nonvirtual
|
|
world. These new rules will play the role of law by
|
|
defining legal personhood and property, resolving disputes,
|
|
and crystallizing a collective conversation about core
|
|
values.

The article describes the role of "Certification
|
|
Authorities" (CAs) in the emerging field of electronic
|
|
commerce. CAs issue certificates to participants in
|
|
electronic commerce that provide indicia of identity or
|
|
authority, or supply a transactional timestamp. Several
|
|
states, including California, Utah, Washington, Florida,
|
|
Georgia, and New Mexico, have passed ,or are considering,
|
|
legislation to regulate CAs; the article seeks to inform
|
|
this process by examining the law applicable to the issuance
|
|
of digital certificates absent specific legislation. As
|
|
part of an effort to identify legal problems CAs are likely
|
|
to engender, the article examines a CA's potential liability
|
|
if a customer tricks a CA into issuing a false identity
|
|
credential. Among the issues discussed are the size of the
|
|
class of foreseeable relying parties and whether the CA
|
|
produces a "good" or a "service" or a hybrid of the two
|
|
under Article 2 of the U.C.C. The article concludes with a
|
|
survey of the major arguments for and against regulation of
|
|
CAs, and cautions against over-hasty grants of blanket
|
|
immunity of CAs against liability for their own negligence.

|
Electronic commerce brings questions about how to sign, or
|
|
evidence legal approval of, electronic documents. Evidence
|
|
that a person approved a particular electronic document
|
|
might be gathered many different ways. The article
|
|
evaluates two ways, one using public-key cryptography and
|
|
the other using pen biometrics. It compares the philosophy
|
|
for mananaging risk in the Utah Digital Signature Act with
|
|
that behind a signature technology known as PenOp.

ABOUT CYBERLAW
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
This Journal publishes abstracts of papers dealing with
|
|
all aspects of the regulation of cyberspace, whether that
|
|
regulation is through law, social norms, or the
|
|
architecture of the network. The approach of the Journal
|
|
is inter-disciplinary: We will abstract papers in law and
|
|
in other related social science disciplines that raise
|
|
issues related to the regulation of cyberspace.
|
|
|
|
Comments and suggestions about CYBERLAW are welcome.
|
|
Please send them to the editor at:

CYBERLAW is the seventh internet-based journal of abstracts
|
|
published by the Legal Scholarship Network (LSN), a division
|
|
of Social Science Electronic Publishing, Inc. (SSEP). LSN
|
|
also publishes Law and Economics Abstracts (LEA), Corporate,
|
|
Securities, and Finance Law Abstracts (CSFLA), Bankruptcy,
|
|
Reorganization, and Creditors' Rights Abstracts (BRCRA), Tax
|
|
Law and Policy Abstracts (TLPA), Criminal Law and Procedure
|
|
(CLPA) and Constitutional Law (CONLAW). LSN plans
|
|
additional journals in other major fields of law, including
|
|
environmental law and policy, intellectual property law, and
|
|
civil procedure.
|
|
|
|
LSN is co-directed by Ronald J. Gilson and A. Mitchell
|
|
Polinsky. Gilson is the Charles J. Meyers Professor of
|
|
Law and Business at Stanford Law School, and the Marc
|
|
and Eva Stern Professor of Law and Business at Columbia
|
|
University School of Law. Polinsky is the Josephine
|
|
Scott Crocker Professor of Law and Economics and Director
|
|
of the John M. Olin Program in Law and Economics at
|
|
Stanford Law School. Professors Gilson and Polinsky also
|
|
are the editors of LEA.
