Abstract We present a new framework for analyzing defamation liability that serves both to clarify and complicate understandings of the law’s consequences for speakers, victims, and the marketplace of ideas. In addition to the familiar deterrence and chilling effects, we show how defamation liability can generate a “warming effect,” making statements more credible and potentially raising both the quality and quantity of speech. We also explain how a more plaintiff-friendly liability regime may exacerbate harms to defamation victims. We end by considering the possibility of “self-tailored” defamation law, with victims or speakers selecting the defamation liability regime that applies to them.
我们提出了一个分析诽谤责任的新框架,它既可以澄清也可以使法律对说话者、受害者和思想市场的后果的理解复杂化。除了常见的威慑和寒蝉效应外,我们还展示了诽谤责任如何产生“暖化效应”,使言论更加可信,并有可能提高言论的质量和数量。我们还解释了一个更有利于原告的责任制度如何可能加剧对诽谤受害者的伤害。最后,我们考虑了“量身定制”诽谤法的可能性,由受害者或说话者选择适用于他们的诽谤责任制度。

Data Pollution 数据污染
IF 2.2 1区 社会学 Q1 LAW Pub Date : 2019-01-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3191231
O. Ben‐Shahar
Digital information is the fuel of the new economy. But like the old economy’s carbon fuel, it also pollutes. Harmful “data emissions” are leaked into the digital ecosystem, disrupting social institutions and public interests. This article develops a novel framework—data pollution—to rethink the harms the data economy creates and the way they have to be regulated. It argues that social intervention should focus on the external harms from collection and misuse of personal data. The article challenges the hegemony of the prevailing view—that the injuries from digital data enterprise are exclusively private. That view has led lawmakers to focus solely on privacy protection as the regulatory objective. The article claims, instead, that a central problem in the digital economy has been largely ignored: how the information given by people affects others, and how it undermines and degrades public goods and interests. The data pollution concept offers a novel perspective why existing regulatory tools—torts, contracts, and disclosure law—are ineffective, mirroring their historical futility in curbing the harms from industrial pollution. The data pollution framework also opens up a rich roadmap for new regulatory devices—“an environmental law for data protection”—which focuses on controlling these external effects. The article examines how the tools used to control industrial pollution—production restrictions, carbon tax, and emissions liability—could be adapted to govern data pollution.
数字信息是新经济的燃料。但就像旧经济的碳燃料一样,它也会造成污染。有害的“数据排放”流入数字生态系统,扰乱社会制度和公共利益。本文提出了一个新的框架——数据污染——来重新思考数据经济造成的危害以及必须对其进行监管的方式。认为社会干预应侧重于个人数据收集和滥用的外部危害。这篇文章挑战了“数字数据企业的伤害完全是私人的”这一主流观点的霸权。这种观点导致立法者只把隐私保护作为监管目标。相反,这篇文章声称,数字经济中的一个核心问题在很大程度上被忽视了:人们提供的信息如何影响他人,以及它如何破坏和降低公共产品和利益。数据污染的概念提供了一个新的视角,为什么现有的监管工具——侵权、合同和信息披露法——是无效的,反映了它们在遏制工业污染危害方面的历史无效。数据污染框架还为新的监管手段——“数据保护环境法”——开辟了丰富的路线图,重点是控制这些外部影响。本文考察了用于控制工业污染的工具——生产限制、碳税和排放责任——如何适用于治理数据污染。

The Proportional Internalization Principle in Private Law 私法中的比例内部化原则
IF 2.2 1区 社会学 Q1 LAW Pub Date : 2019-01-01 DOI: 10.1093/jla/laz006
Omer Pelled
According to common conception, laws should make actors internalize all the costs and benefits of their actions to make them behave efficiently. This article shows that even when only partial internalization is possible, private law can create efficient incentives by ensuring that each actor internalizes an identical proportion of the costs and benefits.This proportional internalization principle has profound implications. In tort law, it offers a new mechanism for dividing liability between multiple parties. In contract law, it suggests a new default rule for joint ventures. And, in restitution law, it presents an alternative doctrinal formulation for restitution for unrequested benefit.
一般观念认为,法律应该使行为人将其行为的所有成本和收益内化,以使其行为有效。本文表明,即使只有部分内部化是可能的,私法也可以通过确保每个行为者内部化相同比例的成本和收益来创造有效的激励。这个比例内化原则具有深远的意义。在侵权行为法中,它提供了一种分担多方责任的新机制。在合同法中,它为合资企业提出了新的默认规则。而且,在赔偿法中,它提出了另一种理论公式,用于赔偿未请求的利益。

Recoupment and Predatory Pricing Analysis 补偿和掠夺性定价分析
IF 2.2 1区 社会学 Q1 LAW Pub Date : 2018-12-31 DOI: 10.1093/JLA/LAY003
L. Kaplow
Recoupment inquiries play an increasingly important role in antitrust analysis, yet they raise a number of conundrums: How can a failure of recoupment due to the plausible long-run profit recovery being dwarfed by short-run losses be reconciled with a defense of no predation that presupposes no short-run sacrifice to begin with? How can recoupment inquiries be diagnostic with respect to competing explanations for defendants’ behavior—such as product promotion or “legal” predation—that likewise require recoupment? This article addresses these questions and others by grounding recoupment and predatory pricing analysis more broadly in a decision framework that focuses on classification (distinguishing illegal predation from other explanations for firms’ pricing) and on the magnitudes of the deterrence benefits and chilling costs of imposing liability. Regarding the latter, although concerns for the chilling of procompetitive activity sensibly drive predatory pricing analysis, the great variation in chilling costs across competing explanations for alleged predation is unrecognized. Much of the analysis here is not particular to recoupment; the investigation aims to inform future research, policy, and practice regarding many aspects of predatory pricing as well as other forms of anticompetitive conduct. Forthcoming, Journal of Legal Analysis (2018)
补偿调查在反垄断分析中发挥着越来越重要的作用,但它们也带来了许多难题:由于短期损失使看似合理的长期利润恢复相形见绌而导致的补偿失败,如何与以不牺牲短期利益为前提的不掠夺辩护相协调?关于被告行为的竞争性解释,如产品促销或“合法”掠夺,同样需要赔偿,赔偿调查如何能够诊断?本文通过在一个决策框架中更广泛地对补偿和掠夺性定价进行分析来解决这些问题和其他问题,该决策框架侧重于分类(将非法掠夺与公司定价的其他解释区分开来)以及施加责任的威慑效益和冷却成本的大小。对于后者,尽管对促进竞争活动的寒蝉效应的关注合理地推动了掠夺性定价分析,但对所谓的掠夺性行为的不同解释中,寒蝉成本的巨大差异尚未得到承认。这里的许多分析并不是专门针对补偿的;调查旨在为未来的研究、政策和实践提供信息,涉及掠夺性定价以及其他形式的反竞争行为的许多方面。《法律分析》(2018)

Discrimination in the Age of Algorithms 算法时代的歧视

Abstract The law forbids discrimination. But the ambiguity of human decision-making often makes it hard for the legal system to know whether anyone has discriminated. To understand how algorithms affect discrimination, we must understand how they affect the detection of discrimination. With the appropriate requirements in place, algorithms create the potential for new forms of transparency and hence opportunities to detect discrimination that are otherwise unavailable. The specificity of algorithms also makes transparent tradeoffs among competing values. This implies algorithms are not only a threat to be regulated; with the right safeguards, they can be a potential positive force for equity.
法律禁止歧视。但是,人类决策的模糊性往往使法律体系很难知道是否有人存在歧视。要了解算法如何影响歧视,我们必须了解它们如何影响歧视的检测。有了适当的要求,算法就有可能实现新形式的透明度,从而有机会发现在其他情况下无法发现的歧视。算法的特殊性也使得竞争价值之间的权衡变得透明。这意味着算法不仅是一种需要监管的威胁;有了适当的保障,它们可以成为促进公平的潜在积极力量。

Unsettled: A Global Study of Settlements in Occupied Territories 未解决:被占领领土上定居点的全球研究
IF 2.2 1区 社会学 Q1 LAW Pub Date : 2017-12-01 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2835908
E. Kontorovich
This Article provides the first comprehensive, global examination of state and international practice bearing on Article 49(6) of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which provides that an “Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” This provision is a staple of legal and diplomatic international discussions of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and serves as the basis for criticism of Israeli settlement policy. Despite its frequent invocation in the Israeli context, scholars have never examined – or even considered – how the norm has been interpreted and applied in any other occupation context in the post-WWII era. For example, the International Committee of the Red Cross’s (ICRC) influential Study on Customary International Humanitarian Law lists 107 instances of national practice and UN practice applying or interpreting the prohibition, and all but two relate to Israel. Many questions exist about the scope and application of Art. 49(6)’s prohibition on “transfer,” but they have generally been answered on purely theoretically. To better understand what Art. 49(6) does in fact demand, this Article closely examines its application in all other cases in which it could apply. Many of the settlement enterprises studied in this Article have never been discussed or documented. All of these situations involved the movement of settlers into the occupied territory, in numbers ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands. Indeed, perhaps every prolonged occupation of contiguous habitable territory has resulted in significant settlement activity.Clear patterns emerge from this systematic study of state practice. Strikingly, the state practice paints a picture that is significantly inconsistent with the prior conventional wisdom concerning Art. 49(6). First, the migration of people into occupied territory is a near-ubiquitous feature of extended belligerent occupations. Second, no occupying power has ever taken any measures to discourage or prevent such settlement activity, nor has any occupying power ever expressed opinio juris suggesting that it is bound to do so. Third, and perhaps most strikingly, in none of these situations have the international community or international organizations described the migration of persons into the occupied territory as a violation of Art. 49(6). Even in the rare cases in which such policies have met with international criticism, it has not been in legal terms. This suggests that the level of direct state involvement in “transfer” required to constitute an Art. 49(6) violation may be significantly greater than previously thought. Finally, neither international political bodies nor the new governments of previously occupied territories have ever embraced the removal of illegally transferred civilian settlers as an appropriate remedy.The deeper understanding – based on a systematic survey of all available state practice – of the prohibition on settlements should
本条第一次全面、全面地审查了与《日内瓦第四公约》第49条第6款有关的国家和国际惯例,该条规定“占领国不得将其本国平民的一部分驱逐或移送到其占领的领土”。这一规定是关于阿以冲突的法律和外交国际讨论的主要内容,也是批评以色列定居点政策的依据。尽管它经常在以色列的背景下被引用,但学者们从来没有研究过——甚至没有考虑过——在二战后的任何其他占领背景下,这一规范是如何被解释和应用的。例如,红十字国际委员会(ICRC)颇具影响力的《习惯国际人道主义法研究》(Study on Customary International Humanitarian Law)列出了107个国家实践和联合国实践适用或解释禁令的例子,除了两个以外,其余都与以色列有关。关于第49条第(6)款禁止“转让”的范围和适用,存在着许多问题,但一般都是在纯理论上得到了解答。为了更好地理解第49条第(6)款的实际要求,本文仔细审查了它在所有其他可能适用的情况下的适用情况。本文研究的许多聚落企业从未被讨论或文献记载。所有这些情况都涉及移民进入被占领领土,人数从数千到数十万不等。事实上,也许每一次对连续可居住领土的长期占领都会导致大量的定居活动。这种对国家实践的系统研究,形成了清晰的模式。引人注目的是,国家实践描绘了一幅与第49(6)条之前的传统智慧明显不一致的画面。首先,人民向被占领土的迁移是长期交战占领的一个几乎无处不在的特征。第二,没有任何占领国采取任何措施阻止或阻止这种定居活动,也没有任何占领国在法律上表示它必须这样做。第三,也许也是最引人注目的是,在所有这些情况下,国际社会或国际组织都没有将人员向被占领领土的移徙描述为违反第49(6)条。即使在少数情况下,这些政策遭到了国际社会的批评,但也不是在法律上。这表明,构成第49(6)条违反所要求的国家直接参与“转让”的程度可能比以前认为的要大得多。最后,无论是国际政治机构还是以前被占领领土的新政府,都从未把驱逐非法转移的平民定居者作为一种适当的补救办法。基于对所有现有国家实践的系统调查对禁止定居点的更深入了解,应该为关于阿拉伯-以色列冲突的法律讨论提供信息,包括国际刑事法院可能对这种活动进行的调查。更广泛地说,本文对第49条第6款的新理解也可以为如何正确对待几个正在进行的占领提供重要启示,从西撒哈拉和北塞浦路斯,到俄罗斯对乌克兰和格鲁吉亚的占领,本条首次记录了这些占领的解决政策。

The New Essentialism in Property 财产的新本质主义

K. Wyman
Is property a flexible bundle of rights or a stable legal category? Since the late 1990s, prominent scholars have rejected the conventional wisdom that the bundle metaphor defines property. These “new essentialists” have sought to reclaim property as a distinct legal category with a definable core. Their academic project is now highly salient because the American Law Institute is engaged in a project of restating property law, directed by a leading new essentialist. This article takes stock of the new essentialists’ efforts to offer a new understanding of property. It distills the core elements of the new essentialist definition of property. Most importantly, it argues that this definition is highly malleable and not as distinct from the bundle picture as the new essentialists and their critics suppose.
财产是一种灵活的权利组合还是一种稳定的法律范畴?自20世纪90年代末以来,著名学者们已经摒弃了捆绑隐喻定义财产的传统智慧。这些“新本质主义者”试图将财产作为一个具有可定义核心的独特法律类别。他们的学术项目现在非常突出,因为美国法律研究所正从事一项重述物权法的项目,由一位重要的新本质主义者指导。本文盘点了新本质主义者为提供对财产的新理解所做的努力。它提炼了新本质主义财产定义的核心要素。最重要的是,它认为这个定义是高度可塑的,并不像新本质主义者和他们的批评者所认为的那样与捆绑图景截然不同。

For this purpose, the study analyzes a sample of seventy residential leasesfromtheGreaterBostonAreaintermsofMassachusettsLandlordandTenantLaw. The article’s findings reveal that landlords often use deceptive—as well as clearly in-valid—provisions in their contracts, and regularly fail to disclose the vast majority of the mandatory rights and remedies that the law bestows upon tenants in their leases. Building on psychological insights and on survey evidence, the article suggests that this drafting pattern may significantly affect tenants’ decisions and behavior.

本文探讨了住宅租赁合同中不可执行和误导性条款的普遍性。为此,该研究分析了大波士顿地区70份住宅租赁合同的样本,其中包括马萨诸塞州的房东和租户法。这篇文章的发现揭示了房东经常在他们的合同中使用欺骗性的条款——以及明显无效的条款,并且经常没有披露法律在租约中赋予租户的绝大多数强制性权利和补救措施。基于心理学见解和调查证据,本文认为这种起草模式可能会显著影响租户的决策和行为。特别是,当与房东发生问题或纠纷时,租户很可能认为租赁协议中的条款具有可执行性和约束力,从而放弃有效的法律权利和索赔。因此,文章预计,只要监督和执行机制不足以阻止房东在合同中使用这些条款,这些条款就会持续存在。根据这一证据,本文探讨了初步的政策处方。
