Internet Law - Mobile Porno, How to Protect Yourself in Cyberspace
	IBLS Cybercrime Diploma Graduate, Marjorie S. Rieskin Tuesday, June 30, 2009
	Internet is a global connection of networks and, therefore, it is difficult to exercise control over the Internet. Yet, control is necessary. To exercise maximum control, it is important to take actions at three fronts simultaneously, 1. Legislation: laying down the rules and regulations as well as the policy; 2. Technology: developing software programs; 3. Information and education: making people aware as to the dangers of the Internet and the steps the legislative, executive, and the judiciary should take. Also, raising awareness in society.

INTERNET LAW - Iceland’s Protection Of Individuals With Regard To Processing Of Personal Data

Iceland is committed to protecting individual privacy, and, to this end, has enacted comprehensive legislation to protect the individual right to privacy with regard to processing of personal data. Iceland enacted the Protection of Individuals Act to regulate the processing of personal data (the “Act”). Icelandic laws regarding data protection are in accord with European Union standards. The Icelandic Supreme Court further echoed the goals of this law when it issued a key ruling in 2003, which recognized the right of a daughter to prevent her deceased father’s medical records from being transferred to a genomics company for the purposes of medical research. Personal data protection, especially in the field of medical research, has been a hotly debated topic in Iceland in the last decade.

INTERNET LAW - Deeplinking –an International Perspective

The practice of deeplinking, whereby a company’s Website directs consumers past the home page of another company’s Web site to one of its interior pages, has resulted in closely watched lawsuits from several countries, with unclear results but a general trend toward the legalization of the practice. Deeplinking bypasses the target Website’s advertising, resulting in a potential reduction in revenue to the deeplinked site. Other problems with unauthorized deeplinking include copyright infringement and the additional avoidance of the linked site’s policies, service information, and its own links. There have been lawsuits in Scotland, Denmark, India, the Netherlands, Germany, and other countries and the decisions have only muddied the waters, not calmed them.

INTERNET LAW - Spain's New Electronic Signature Act

On March 20th, 2004, a new Electronic Signature Act (Law 59/2003 on Electronic Signature, dated December 19th) entered into force in Spain. The new act replaced the legal regime set forth by Royal Decree 14/1999. Both legal texts are based on the principles set out by the EC Directive No. 1999/93, which aimed at creating a harmonized legal environment that may encourage the use of this kind of technology. A comparison between the former and the new electronic signature law follows. We also included a brief description of the new electronic signature law.

UNITED STATES: FCC Seeks Comment on Providing Spectrum for Medical Body Are Networks

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) today adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that seeks comment on allocating spectrum and establishing service and technical rules for the operation of Medical Body Area Networks. Medical Body Area Networks - or "MBANs” – could be used to create wireless body sensor networks around individual patients to monitor an array of physiological data – such as temperature, pulse, blood glucose level, blood pressure, respiratory function and a variety of other physiological metrics. MBAN systems would primarily be used in health care facilities, with the potential also of being used in other patient care/monitoring circumstances. Unlike traditional medical telemetry systems which rely on separate uncoordinated links for each physiological function being monitored, MBAN systems could serve to wirelessly monitor all of the desired data of a single patient, which could then be aggregated and wirelessly transmitted to a remote location for evaluation.

INTERNATIONAL: Global Downturn Causes Slump in Cross-Border Investment, Says OECD

Foreign direct investment (FDI) into 17 OECD countries, including France, Germany, Japan, the UK and the US, fell by 50% in the first quarter of 2009 compared with the last quarter of 2008, according to estimates by the OECD released at the OECD Forum in Paris. If this rate of decline persists through 2009, OECD economists predict, total FDI into the 30 OECD countries will fall to around USD 500 billion this year from a 2008 total of USD 1.02 trillion. This fall in FDI is largely due to a plunge in the value of cross-border merger and acquisitions, forecast to decline by 60% in 2009 to USD 439 billion, down from just over USD 1 trillion in 2008.

COSTA RICA: Future Law on Data Protection in Costa Rica

Costa Rica will have its own Law on Data Protection, which will be known as the Law on Individual’s Protection against Personal Data Treatment. The future Law will ensure the respect of every physical or legal person’s fundamental rights, specifically their right to self determination of disclosure on personal or business life and other personal rights, regardless of their nationality or residence. The Law will also ensure the protection of their freedom and equality regarding automatic or manual treatment of data belonging to their person or possessions.
