The Yale Journal of Law and Technology's 2002-03 issue is now live. In this issue:
  • Mine Your Own Business!, by Tal Z. Zarksy.
    This Article addresses the use of data mining applications in analyzing personal information and its impact upon society. . . . Among others, it addresses issues such as discrimination, threats to autonomy, misuse of data and the consequences of erroneous information. . . . After focusing on the role of public opinion, the Article concludes by outlining a public opinion campaign which may prove useful in finding solutions to the legal problems data mining tools create.
  • Lessons from the United States Trade Policies to Convert a “Pirate”: The Case of Pharmaceutical Patents in Argentina, by Hernan L. Bentolila.
    This analysis describes the radical transformations in pharmaceutical intellectual property protection in Argentina during the 1990s. Most importantly, it highlights the consequences of the use by the United States of unilateral trade weapons to pressure Argentina to adopt certain standards in this field.
  • Professional Piece: Message Deleted? Resolving Physician-Patient E-mail through Contract Law, by Michael A. McCann.
    This article examines the impact of e-mail on the physician-patient relationship, and how contract law can resolve the uncertainties incumbent in this nascent form of communication. . . . Instead of waiting for judicial guidance, physicians and patients can employ specialized contracts to clarify the role that e-mail plays in their relationship.
  • Student Note: Copyright’s Digital Reformulation, by Brodi Kemp.
    In this article, I will argue that content providers are “recreating the bottle” around their intellectual property, using digital technologies to reinforce their business models and supplant copyright. . . . I will argue that the particular resolution of the copyright debate arguably has powerful implications beyond the content industries or the balance of intellectual property.
