The document summarizes key issues in e-commerce law from the perspective of American entrepreneurs. It discusses initial attempts to regulate the internet by protecting consumers, debates around revising Communications Decency Act immunity, and concerns around capital, consumers, and competition from clients. Emerging issues covered include crowdfunding regulations, privacy practices, enforcement actions, blogger disclosures, and domain name issues like counterfeiting and cyber-smearing.
A Colorado state law could significantly impact e-commerce by requiring out-of-state retailers to collect and remit sales tax. The law is aimed at requiring large online retailers like Amazon to collect sales tax as brick-and-mortar stores already do. Other states have proposed or passed similar laws, while federal legislation on the issue has stalled. The law's backers argue it helps level the playing field for local businesses, while opponents say it imposes new burdens on e-tailers.
The DASHBOARD Act would impose several data-disclosure requirements on large companies that monetize online user data. The Act assumes a market failure of information asymmetry, where consumers undervalue their personal data. However, the evidence for this claim is indeterminate, and a lack of clarity on data property rights and liability could make corresponding rules difficult to enforce.
This document discusses several challenges related to competition in the digital economy. It notes that competition in digital markets differs from traditional markets due to business models like platforms and multi-sided markets. It also discusses opposing views from government agencies on mergers. Additionally, it examines issues like how consumers "pay" for free services by providing their data, and challenges for regulators in policing conduct and mergers in digital markets where dominant firms can quickly copy or contractually restrict competitors.
The document discusses several topics related to intellectual property, privacy, and ecommerce. It defines key concepts like copyright, trademarks, intellectual property, privacy policies, and cookies. It provides tips for safe online shopping and discusses the need for businesses to protect themselves from issues like software piracy, customers refusing to pay, and the unauthorized use of their name or copyrighted content.

Ethical, social, and political issues can impact e-commerce businesses. Ethically, issues like privacy invasion, online piracy, and copyright infringement must be addressed. Socially, security, privacy, and shipping issues can affect customer confidence. Politically, changes in taxes, regulations, and political stability can influence business operations. Analyzing these factors is important for assessing risks and making informed decisions.
This document summarizes the key events in the history of net neutrality regulation and policy debates in the United States from the 1860 Pacific Telegraph Act to 2014. It discusses major FCC rulings and court cases, political debates, and the impact of events like the Edward Whitacre comments and John Oliver segment. Major milestones included the 2005 Net Neutrality Principles, the 2010 and 2014 Open Internet Orders, and the 2014 DC Circuit decision recognizing FCC authority but limiting its ability to impose common carrier rules on ISPs.
This document summarizes the history of privacy debates in the United States since the 1990s. It discusses key events like FTC reports and guidelines from industry groups. While comprehensive privacy legislation has not passed, the privacy debate has influenced self-regulation and enforcement. Both advocates and critics argue whether recent developments leave the issue half empty or half full compared to the starting point in 1999.

The document summarizes the opposition to the proposed SOPA and PIPA legislation in the US Congress in January 2012. Major websites went "black" on January 18th to protest the bills, which aimed to curb online piracy but were criticized for being too broad. The bills would have allowed sites to be blocked and payment services suspended over undefined terms like "facilitating infringement." This lack of clarity and due process is what led to widespread protests against the bills on "Black Wednesday," with users and sites calling for more precise anti-piracy laws.
The document discusses whether sales tax should be required for internet purchases. It provides background on the Internet Tax Freedom Act which prevents states from taxing internet commerce differently than catalog sales. Supporters argue that internet sales tax is needed to generate revenue for state services and ease the individual tax burden. However, others argue that an internet sales tax would be complicated for merchants and consumers due to different tax rates in thousands of jurisdictions, and could negatively impact e-commerce growth.
Spokeo v Robins considers whether harm must be shown for a privacy violation claim. The plaintiff alleged inaccurate information about him from Spokeo harmed his employment prospects. While UK precedent found distress sufficient for harm, US law requires "injury-in-fact". The Supreme Court returned the case to consider this, suggesting privacy rights may be strengthening. As data use increases, regulations must ensure information accuracy and provide redress for inaccuracies to properly balance individual rights with data-driven business. A ruling could guide US law to impose higher standards for data protection.

Presentatie dma boston 2011: Welke impact heeft us privacyregulering op uw bu...DDMA
This document discusses how privacy regulation may impact businesses in 2012. It provides a brief history of US privacy law and discusses the rise of privacy legislation at both the federal and state levels. With legislative inaction at the federal level, the FTC has taken a more aggressive stance in privacy enforcement. The document analyzes several proposed privacy bills and regulations that may be enacted in 2012, including bills addressing data breach notification, do not track, geolocation privacy, and revisions to COPPA. Businesses are advised to prepare for increased privacy regulation by taking a "privacy by design" approach.
The document discusses the "symbiotic web" model which describes the mutual dependence between individuals and commercial enterprises on personal data online. Enterprises have built business models relying on collecting and using private data, while individuals depend on free access to many online services. However, this relationship can become parasitic if too much data is collected without users' knowledge or consent. The document outlines some of the competitive drives in the data collection industry, potential consequences like a lack of privacy and new risks, and possible solutions like stronger privacy laws or changing the current data dependence paradigm.

The company website shares Cleland's congressional testimony and information on his book about Google's market power.
Copying fees for public records vary widely between counties in Kansas, from free to $10 per record. The Kansas Open Records Act provides guidance for state offices to charge 25 cents per page but allows local authorities to set their own fees. However, setting excessively high fees could discourage public access to information and run counter to the intent of the law. As digital cameras and cell phones are now used to copy records, the law also needs clarification on how fees apply to digital copying methods. Legislators should amend the law to set reasonable copying fees and address this issue with new technologies.

Bryson Winfrey- Social Commerce and The Laws of Social AdvertisingBryson Winfrey
This document discusses social commerce and the laws governing social advertising. Social commerce utilizes social networks and user reviews to facilitate online shopping. The benefits of social commerce include boosting website traffic, increasing product reviews and sales, and raising average order values. The document also outlines some key US laws related to social advertising, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the FTC Act regarding unfair or deceptive practices, and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
This document discusses several legal, ethical and social issues related to electronic commerce (EC). It covers topics such as privacy and protecting personal information, intellectual property rights, unsolicited electronic ads/spam, free speech vs censorship, taxation of online businesses, and how laws and regulations are still developing to address challenges from EC. The key issues involve balancing consumer protection vs business interests, as well as countries establishing consistent privacy, IP and other legal frameworks for digital/online activities.
This document discusses three areas of regulation related to improving the political system: copyright, telecommunications, and campaign finance. For copyright, regulations aim to balance free expression with copyright protections. For telecommunications, regulations have debated editorial discretion versus public interests. For campaign finance, existing doctrine follows a traditional model while reform supporters favor a Madisonian model balancing political equality and corruption concerns.
This document provides an overview of using Bloomberg Law for legal research related to trade secrets. It outlines how to log in to Bloomberg Law, navigate the interface, search for news articles and company information, access litigation dockets and pleadings, and set up alerting services for new results. Instructions are included for searching Bloomberg's news databases for articles on trade secrets from November to December 2008, looking up information on Lubrizol Corp, and finding docket information for a trade secret case between Carpenter Co. and BASF SE.
The document discusses the market for personal legal services in the U.S. It notes that 50% of middle-income households have legal issues each year but only 20% seek help from lawyers, largely due to cost. Previous internet-based legal services companies failed because they did not innovate on the traditional law firm model. The U.S. consumer wants more affordable, convenient options. However, over-regulation protects existing law firms and prevents disruption. Removing these barriers could lead to new types of legal service providers that better meet consumer needs and capture the large unmet demand.

Statz, Inc. Privacy Comments (FTC Feb. 2011)Glenn Manishin
The document provides comments from Statz, Inc. in response to a preliminary FTC staff report on protecting consumer privacy. Statz commends the FTC for its forward-looking effort to adapt privacy policies to the current commercial environment. However, Statz argues that the FTC should move beyond transparency and focus on identifying companies that collect and sell consumer data without consent and compensation, as consumer data ownership is a fundamental right. Statz is developing a marketplace that will allow consumers to control their data and participate in its monetization through explicit consent and consideration.

- Privacy issues will continue to be a major concern for Congress and the upcoming elections, fueled by increased computer and internet usage. While industry self-regulation was previously preferred, there is now support for more aggressive privacy regulation, especially around financial and medical information.
- The FTC now supports new regulatory powers over companies collecting personal data online, while the Administration focuses on financial and medical privacy. Congress remains reluctant to pass comprehensive privacy laws.
- Several bills have been introduced to address privacy, including establishing a commission to study existing laws and make recommendations, and strengthening protections for financial and medical privacy data. However, opponents argue these approaches could delay needed legislation.
- Privacy issues will continue to be a major concern for Congress and the upcoming elections in the fall. Both the widespread use of computers and the internet have fueled these privacy concerns.
- While Congress is unlikely to pass comprehensive privacy legislation this year, some lawmakers may try to attach privacy provisions to other bills moving through Congress.
- The Federal Trade Commission now supports new regulations for companies collecting personal data online, reversing its previous support for industry self-regulation. However, the Administration and Congress have been reluctant to embrace comprehensive privacy legislation.

Statement of Michelle Richardson, Director, Privacy & Data
Center for Democracy & Technology
before the
United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary
GDPR & CCPA: Opt-ins, Consumer Control, and the Impact on Competition and Innovation
March 12, 2019
On behalf of the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT), thank you for the
opportunity to testify about the importance of crafting a federal consumer privacy law that
provides meaningful protections for Americans and clarity for entities of all sizes and sectors.
CDT is a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to advancing the
rights of the individual in the digital world. CDT is committed to protecting privacy as a
fundamental human and civil right and as a necessity for securing other rights such as access to
justice, equal protection, and freedom of expression. CDT has offices in Washington, D.C., and
Brussels, and has a diverse funding portfolio from foundation grants, corporate donations, and
individual donations.1
The United States should be leading the way in protecting digital civil rights. This hearing
is an opportunity to learn how Congress can improve upon the privacy frameworks offered in
the European Union via the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California
Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to craft a comprehensive privacy law that works for the U.S. Our
digital future should be one in which technology supports human rights and human dignity. This
future cannot be realized if people are forced to choose between protecting their personal
information and using the technologies and services that enhance our lives. This future depends
on clear and meaningful rules governing data processing; rules that do not simply provide

people with notices and check boxes but actually protect them from privacy and security
abuses and data-driven discrimination; protections that cannot be signed away.
Congress should resist the narratives that innovative technologies and strong privacy
protections are fundamentally at odds, and that a privacy law would necessarily cement the
market dominance of a few large companies. Clear and focused privacy rules can help
companies of all sizes gain certainty with respect to appropriate and inappropriate uses of data.
Clear rules will also empower engineers and product managers to design for privacy on the
front end, rather than having to wait for a public privacy scandal to force the rollback of a
product or data practice.
We understand that drafting comprehensive privacy legislation is a complex endeavor.
Over the past year we have worked with partners in civil societ.
1. Behavioral advertising is online advertising where the type of ad selected is based on websites visited, actions taken, or user information. It allows for targeted ads but raises privacy concerns.
2. The FTC issued principles for industry self-regulation of behavioral advertising focusing on transparency, security, consent, and sensitive data use. However, the effectiveness of self-regulation alone is debated.
3. While industry opponents argue legislation could harm innovation, supporters believe laws are needed to ensure transparency and privacy protections, as self-regulation requires monitoring and evidence of compliance with principles.

2. The FTC issued principles for industry self-regulation of behavioral advertising focusing on transparency, security, consent, and sensitive data use. However, some argue self-regulation alone is not sufficient and legislation may be needed to monitor compliance.

1. Behavioral advertising is a form of online advertising where ads are selected based on websites visited, actions taken, or user information to target users.
2. There is debate around whether behavioral advertising violates privacy laws and if self-regulation is sufficient given consumers' growing awareness of privacy issues related to targeted ads.
3. While industry argues that legislation could harm innovation, privacy advocates and lawmakers support regulations to increase transparency around data collection and use for behavioral advertising. Monitoring and evidence are needed to ensure self-regulatory principles are followed.
1. Behavioral advertising is a form of online advertising where ads are selected based on websites visited, actions taken, or user information to target users.
2. Consumers have become more aware of privacy issues related to behavioral advertising and are concerned about being targeted with ads based on their browsing history.
3. There is debate around whether behavioral advertising violates privacy laws and whether self-regulation or legislation is needed to protect consumer privacy and provide transparency in online advertising practices.
This document summarizes the key issues and shortcomings with privacy laws in the United States. It notes that unlike the European Union's GDPR, the US takes a sectoral approach with different federal and state statutes governing specific areas. This creates a complex patchwork of laws that are uneven and sometimes incompatible. The document calls for a unified federal privacy law that establishes consistent standards and gives individuals private rights of action for violations. It also recommends principles like data minimization, opt-in consent for data sharing, and non-discrimination in privacy rights.
This chapter discusses privacy and the laws that protect personal information. It covers topics like identity theft, consumer profiling, data breaches, and workplace monitoring. Laws discussed include the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and others. The chapter also examines ethical issues around electronic discovery, responsible treatment of consumer data, and advanced surveillance technologies.
This document discusses the importance of protecting personally identifiable information (PII) and complying with relevant laws and regulations. It covers what constitutes PII, why protection is critical to avoid identity theft, financial penalties, and reputational damage. Key aspects of PII management discussed include the storage, sensitivity, encryption of data, multi-jurisdictional issues, data ownership, procedures, and system needs across the data lifecycle. Major US privacy laws like FCRA and GLBA that regulate how PII is collected and used are also summarized.

The document discusses minimizing risks related to information sharing between competitors. It provides five key ways to ensure compliance with competition law:
1. The document outlines basic principles of information exchange in the US and EU, noting that direct exchange of sensitive commercial information between competitors usually infringes competition law.
2. It discusses types of permissible and non-permissible information exchanges, including between competitors, through common agencies, and between non-competitors. Recent enforcement actions in both the US and EU related to price signaling and information sharing are also summarized.
3. Five keys to ensuring compliant information sharing are discussed, including only exchanging aggregated and anonymized data, avoiding exchanges of future plans, and having legitimate pro-competitive
This document analyzes legal protections for consumer location data under the Fourth Amendment. It discusses key Supreme Court cases that have established and updated privacy expectations for location data shared with third parties. Recent cases like Carpenter v. United States found that warrantless collection of cell site location information violates privacy rights. However, protections are still limited and outdated when applied to emerging technologies. The document calls for stronger consumer privacy laws from Congress to regulate uses of location data by companies.

2. A BRIEF HISTORY
Defined legal protection for consumer privacy since the Fair Credit
Reporting Act (1970).
U.S. Supreme Court first explored informational privacy in a digital
context in Whalen v. Roe (1977).
From 1998-2012, the Federal Trade Commission made reports to
Congress regarding consumers’ privacy online.
Today, informational privacy is largely a contractual matter.
3. STATUTE LAW
Senate Resolution 34 (2017) allows
ISPs to sell internet browsing history,
app usage.
FTC, FCC signaling move to ‘harms-
based’ approach.
Strongest new protection coming
from state laws, such as California’s
Online Privacy Protection Act (2013).
4. RECENT CASE LAW
Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins (2016)
Sorrel v. IMS Health, Inc. (2011)
"The implications of Sorrel - that commercial speech potentially can be
considered nothing more than a protected viewpoint, rather than part of a
contractual offering between seller and buyer - along with the holding that
the government may not burden the expression of such viewpoints when
non-commercial speakers are not similarly burdened, appear to be
potentially expansive" (Kerr, 2017, p. 156).
Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010)
5. LAW REVIEW ANALYSIS
Common themes: a need for more clarity
and consumer protection.
The types of data that can be collected
and methods by which it can be used
should be limited.
Examples: health apps, dynamic pricing
Support for modified U.S. version of
European Union’s right to be forgotten.
6. CONCLUSION
Despite public support for increased protection, federal action not
likely in the near future.
Most significant advances will come on the state level.
Impact of international policies and laws remains to be seen.
