The Editor's Byte…
Welcome
to the ALSB Technology Report Newsletter! The Technology
Report is the newsletter of the Technology Section of the Academy
of Legal Studies in Business (http://www.alsb.org/).
I have
been appointed as Editor of the Technology Report. I do not see
a need to institute major change from the format used by the
previous editor, Professor Joe Zavaletta, of University of Texas
at Brownsville. In my view
recent technological change has had a profound impact on both
pedagogy and legal research.
Therefore, I intend to retain the “C Drive”
portion of this issue, which will feature an article that focuses
on high-tech, classroom issues. An illustrative article by Professor
Margo E. K. Reder is hyperlinked below.
In the article hyperlinked below, Professor Reder discusses
teaching a high-tech topic using a multimedia presentation. I consider
either or both suitable for submission to “C Drive”:
1. An innovative
discussion of how to teach a high-technology
topic, or
2.
An innovative analysis of how to use high-technology or
multimedia as a teaching aid.
Of
course, you could do both as was done by Professor Reder in her
article, which is hyperlinked, infra.
I have
also decided to "Beyond the Ivory Tower", a
column for non-academic writers to write about tech law issues.
In the inaugural issue, Ms. Julie Hilden, (email: julhil@aol.com) who lives in
Manhattan, is an attorney, freelance writer and a regular Findlaw.com
commentator. After graduating from Yale Law School, Ms.
Hilden clerked for then-Chief Judge Stephen G. Breyer of the
United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. From
1996-99, she practiced First Amendment law as a litigation associate
at the Washington, D.C. firm of Williams & Connolly. Check
out her article!
If
you have technology-related questions or short ideas that you
would like discussed among Technology Section members, I encourage
you to post them on Cyberlawtalk. If you have any questions about
subscribing to or posting comments on Cyberlawtalk, please e-mail
me.

Beyond the Ivory Tower…
E-Harassment in the Workplace: What Can Employers
Do To Limit Their Liability?
(c) 2003 Douglas M. Towns, Esq. with Jones, Day, Reavis &
Pogue, Atlanta, GA. http://www.gigalaw.com/
Used by Permission.
Article Summary: The increasing use of e-mail and the World
Wide Web in the workplace has led to an increasing number of
sexual-harassment disputes, argues Mr. Towns. In some cases,
an employer can be held legally responsible for its employees'
activities, such as sending sexually explicit e-mails or downloading
pornographic images. This article explains how sexual harassment
relates to the Internet and what employers can do to limit their
liability.
THE
"CLEAN FLICKS" CASE: IS IT ILLEGAL TO RENT OUT A COPYRIGHTED
VIDEO AFTER EDITING IT TO OMIT "OBJECTIONABLE" CONTENT?
(c) 2002. Julie Hilden. All rights reserved. Originally
appeared on Findlaw.com.
Article Summary: Ms. Hilden
discusses a recent lawsuit against some of the country's most
well-known directors -- from Steven Spielberg to Steven Soderbergh.
The plaintiff is a small video rental chain called Clean Flicks,
which is seeking a declaration that its editing movies for sex,
violence, and "bad" language before it rents them out
is legal. Hilden assesses the arguments for both sides -- including
the argument that Clean Flicks's editing falls within the "fair
use" exception to the copyright laws.
