PRIVACY, CONFIDENTIALITY, AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ONLINE: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES FOR CONSUMER BEHAVIOR RESEARCH ABSTRACT - S CONSUMER RESEARCH IN VIRTUAL COMMUNITIES Constance Porter, Georgia State University, USA The special problems of privacy and intellectual property rights for researchers examining virtual communities are addressed with emphasis on questions of individual rights and what practical and theoretical perspectives should guide research behavior in adequately protecting those rights without sacrificing research efficacy. The author has substantially completed the conceptual part of this paper. CONSUMER INTERESTS VERSUS PRIVACY ON THE INTERNET Angela Hausman, The University of Texas-Pan American, USA Issues that may contribute to consumer vulnerability in cyberspace are addressed with emphasis on issues such as the collection of data on individuals without their knowledge, increased electronic surveillance in the workplace, and the possible vulnerability of stored information online for consumers, businesses and other entities that collect this information. This paper is primarily conceptual.

Mendoza, University of Arkansas, USA The growth of the file sharing or "peer-to-peer" mechanisms such as Napster, Freenet, Kazaa, Morpheus and others has raised a host of issues for consumer researchers, business, and policy makers. The perceptions and attitudes of consumers toward the sharing of copyrighted material in an online context is examined in an effort to better understand the interactions between policy-makers, intellectual property owners, and other consumers using quantitative and qualitative data. Data collection is continuing. ----------------------------------------
