The Artist Is A Thief, Matthew Rimmer Nov 2001

The Artist Is A Thief, Matthew Rimmer

Matthew Rimmer

Stephen Gray is a writer and law lecturer who has been living in Darwin since 1989. He started out writing formal legal pieces about how copyright law had unsuccessfully sought to accommodate Aboriginal art. Such work led him to further investigate the philosophical questions underlying the legal issues affecting both traditional and urban Indigenous people. Gray has also explored matters of bioprospecting in relation to Indigenous biological resources. He has investigated the introduction of a label of authenticity into Australia. Gray has also published a number of articles about other legal issues affecting Indigenous people. He has explored such topics …

Purveyance And Power Or Over-Priced Free Lunch: The Intellectual Property Clause As An Ally Of The Takings Clause In The Public’S Control Of Government, Malla Pollack Oct 2001

Purveyance And Power Or Over-Priced Free Lunch: The Intellectual Property Clause As An Ally Of The Takings Clause In The Public’S Control Of Government, Malla Pollack

Malla Pollack

Government can bypass citizen control if it can use revenue not publicly scrutinized through the public taxing/spending system. One method of bypass is paying with non-monetary compensation such as (i) property, or (ii) the right to charge others for some necessary good or service, intangible property. The Takings/Just Compensation Clause of the Fifth Amendment is one authority controlling government's ability to bypass financial scrutiny. In this article, I argue that the Intellectual Property Clause also should be used to control some governmental bypass. I attempt to justify this suggestion both theoretically and historically. The historical material included focuses on English …

The Internet Opens Its Doors For .Biz-Ness, Corey A. Ciocchetti Sep 2001

The Internet Opens Its Doors For .Biz-Ness, Corey A. Ciocchetti

Corey A Ciocchetti

Starting on October 1, 2001, .BIZ will become active as the Internet's newest top-level domain; its space reserved solely for businesses engaging in "bona fide" commercial activities. This space has the potential to reinvigorate, at least partly, the immense economic potential of the Internet by stimulating a multitude of e-commerce transactions so common only a few years ago. This iBreif explores the history of how and why this new top-level domain came into being. Following this history lies a discussion of the current .BIZ registration process as well as an analysis of the corresponding Intellectual Property Claims system.


The Treaty Of Waitangi In Legislation, Matthew S. R. Palmer Sep 2001

The Treaty Of Waitangi In Legislation, Matthew S. R. Palmer

The Hon Justice Matthew Palmer

Whether and how the Treaty of Waitangi should be referred to in legislation are current questions that arise every time a new piece of legislation is developed. These questions provoke visceral political reactions from all sides of the political spectrum. The answers matter.I argue that it is important to consider the purpose of referring to the Treaty in legislation. The symbolic value of referring to the Treaty of Waitangi in legislation should not be underestimated as a purpose. This purpose may be satisfied by a general reference to the Treaty as contained in a variety of current statutes. But achieving …

Monitoring Employee E-Mail: Efficient Workplaces Vs. Employee Privacy, Corey A. Ciocchetti Jul 2001

Monitoring Employee E-Mail: Efficient Workplaces Vs. Employee Privacy, Corey A. Ciocchetti

Corey A Ciocchetti

Employer monitoring of electronic mail constitutes an emerging area of the law that is clearly unsettled at this point in time. This iBrief demonstrates that the privacy rights of non public-sector employees are relatively unprotected by the federal and state constitutions, broad judicial interpretations of enacted privacy legislation favor legitimate employer-monitoring practices, and many of the elements of common law claims are difficult for employees to prove.

Opt-In Government: Using The Internet To Empower Choice – Privacy Application, Malla Pollack Jul 2001

Opt-In Government: Using The Internet To Empower Choice – Privacy Application, Malla Pollack

Malla Pollack

This article proposes a relatively novel model of government regulation and illustrates how the model might work with respect to Internet privacy protection for U.S. residents. [I suggest "opt-in government" as a practical method to integrate the democratic concept of voice with the market model of choice. "Opt-in government" either (i) creates "a safe place" that persons may enter only if they wish to do so, or (ii) enables a choice that the so-called private sector has not offered.

The Complexities Of Online Mutual Fund Advertising: A Summary Of The Relevant Regulations, Corey A. Ciocchetti

Corey A Ciocchetti

As the investment marketplace advances with current technology, paper-based advertising has quickly been supplemented by on-line advertising. Interestingly, both the Securities Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers are treating this new medium similarly to the old-fashioned paper-based medium. This iBrief discusses and summarizes the current regulations surrounding one emerging form of on-line advertising - that of mutual funds. This discussion is intended to form a solid foundation from which an interested party may delve further into this emerging area of e-commerce.

Arresting Technology: An Essay, Ann Bartow May 2001

Arresting Technology: An Essay, Ann Bartow

Ann Bartow

This Essay considers the current trend of content owners using copyright laws (particularly the doctrine of contributory infringement) to "arrest technology," thereby burdening file sharing technologies with a duty to prevent unauthorized copying of copyrighted works in digital formats. The Author argues that copying is not necessarily theft, and that sharing music files (for example) shouldn't be treated by courts or lawmakers as if it was "the moral equivalent of looting." Instead, copyright owners should take responsibility for developing technological measures to minimize unauthorized copying, so that file trading technologies, themselves often copyrightable innovations, can flourish and copyright law promotes …


Mediation In Black And White: Mediation Center-Police Partnerships - A Dignified Police Response, Christopher C. Cooper Dr. May 2001

Mediation In Black And White: Mediation Center-Police Partnerships - A Dignified Police Response, Christopher C. Cooper Dr.

Christopher C. Cooper Dr.

Police Officers assigned to Patrol duties can use mediation skills to address calls-for-service involving interpersonal disputes. The research shows that whether or not police use mediation or a similar methodology to resolve a dispute may depend on the race, ethnicity or social class of the complaining parties. Finally, police mediation [center] partnerships must be employed in such a way that community members are empowered by law enforcement to help themselves.

Bracketed Flexibility: Standards Of Performance Level The Playing Field, Claire Moore Dickerson Apr 2001

Bracketed Flexibility: Standards Of Performance Level The Playing Field, Claire Moore Dickerson

Claire Moore Dickerson

Experiments in behavioral economics suggest that legal constraints do reduce uncertainty, thus justifying the use of standards of performance and challenging assertions that regulation of this nature is inefficient.


Are Online Business Transactions Executed By Electronic Signatures Legally Binding?, Corey A. Ciocchetti Feb 2001

Are Online Business Transactions Executed By Electronic Signatures Legally Binding?, Corey A. Ciocchetti

Corey A Ciocchetti

Most of us believe that we make contracts over the Internet all the time. We buy books and computers, arrange for hotels and planes, trade stocks, and apply for mortgages. But as recently as seven months ago that transaction was most likely not legally binding. This uncertainty led many practitioners, businesspeople, and consumers to question the efficacy of contracts executed by electronic signatures. Without a uniform standard, many jurisdictions ruled inconsistently, while other jurisdictions did not consider the issue. This disparate treatment threatened the legitimacy of online agreements and deprived both consumers and businesses of the certainty and predictability expected …


A Dinamikus És Organikus Fejlõdés Gazdasága (Dynamic And Organic Development Economy), Milan Meszaros Feb 2001

A Dinamikus És Organikus Fejlõdés Gazdasága (Dynamic And Organic Development Economy), Milan Meszaros

Milan Meszaros physicist

In the present paper it is shown in details that the development of industry based on the monetary economy and the real protection of the environment contradicts to each other, antagonistically. Furthermore, the handling and inherent solution of the contradiction points to the direction of a new development path which is called the Dynamic and Organic Development Economy (DODE). Finally, this new path means the real unison of the industrialization and protection of the environment, as well as, a fundamental -but not sustainable or other discreditable etc.- transformation of the industrial development and consumer society within the frame of monetary …
