Abstract

Years of surveillance-related leaks from US whistleblower Edward Snowden have fuelled an international debate on privacy, spying, and Internet surveillance. Much of the focus has centered on the role of the US National Security Agency, yet there is an important Canadian side to the story. The Communications Security Establishment, the Canadian counterpart to the NSA, has played an active role in surveillance activities both at home and abroad, raising a host of challenging legal and policy questions. With contributions by leading experts in the field, Law, Privacy and Surveillance in Canada in the Post-Snowden Era is the right book at the right time: From the effectiveness of accountability and oversight programs to the legal issues raised by metadata collection to the privacy challenges surrounding new technologies, this book explores current issues torn from the headlines with a uniquely Canadian perspective.

34. Is There a There There: Towards Greater Certainty for Internet Jurisdiction

Author

Geist, Michael

Subjects
Computer Science - Computers and Society, K.4.m Miscellaneous
Abstract

The unique challenge presented by the Internet is that compliance with local laws is rarely sufficient to assure a business that it has limited its exposure to legal risk. The paper identifies why the challenge of adequately accounting for the legal risk arising from Internet jurisdiction has been aggravated in recent years by the adoption of the Zippo legal framework, commonly referred to as the passive versus active test. The test provides parties with only limited guidance and often results in detrimental judicial decisions from a policy perspective. Given the inadequacies of the Zippo passive versus active test, the paper argues that it is now fitting to identify a more effective standard for determining when it is appropriate to assert jurisdiction in cases involving predominantly Internet-based contacts. The solution submitted in the paper is to move toward a targeting-based analysis. Unlike the Zippo approach, a targeting analysis would seek to identify the intentions of the parties and to assess the steps taken to either enter or avoid a particular jurisdiction. Targeting would also lessen the reliance on effects-based analysis, the source of considerable uncertainty since Internet-based activity can ordinarily be said to create some effects in most jurisdictions. To identify the appropriate criteria for a targeting test, the paper recommends returning to the core jurisdictional principle -- foreseeability. Foreseeability in the targeting context depends on three factors -- contracts, technology, and actual or implied knowledge., Comment: 29th TPRC Conference, 2001

43. After Access: Canadian Education and Copyright Reform

Author

Geist, Michael

Abstract

With the dramatic growth of the Internet in the 1990s, the Canadian government developed a well-regarded strategy for addressing the emerging issues posed by the "information highway." The strategy featured legal reforms to address privacy and e-commerce, administrative reforms for the government online initiative, and connectivity programs such as SchoolNet, designed to provide ubiquitous Internet connectivity in Canadian schools. SchoolNet was perhaps the biggest success as Canada became the first country in the world to connect every school to the Internet. Today the federal government is again faced with the need to develop a strategy with respect to the Internet and education, in this case, copyright reform. The author argues that Canadian copyright law must adopt a balanced approach in which the interests of creators are addressed in parallel with the needs of the users and larger public interest. He further suggests that a full "fair use" provision--one that would amend the current copyright act so that the list of fair dealing rights would be illustrative rather than exhaustive--would help solve many difficult copyright issues.
