Notes On Restitution - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon Jan 1985

Notes On Restitution - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon

Scholarship Chronologically

The principle which allows payment for nondamaging uses of property is, I submit, this one: protecting the system of property from eroding. Looking at the leading case in the area, we see precisely that: the user of the property is required to pay for his use, lest he be placed in a better position than a non-trespasser. Any other rule might encourage erosion of property systems.

Notes On Demarcation And Other Issues - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon Jan 1985

Notes On Demarcation And Other Issues - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon

Scholarship Chronologically

Not only is there a problem with demarking the resource (e.g., the problem of larger and larger generality that Hand tries to deal with) but there's also a problem with demarking the TYPE OF USE. In DOW JONES, for example, the defendant was merely making reference to (not copying)the average; ditto the NFL case.


Notes On Forms Of Discourse - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon Jan 1985

Notes On Forms Of Discourse - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon

Scholarship Chronologically

Is there anything which can explain the seeming schizophrenia between the courts favoring creators and users? Part of the explanation may lie in “forms of disclosure”: the cognate areas to which attention is directed. Once in the copyright area, you’re in an area where “policy rather than property” governs, and where limitations on rights are as crucial as the rights themselves.


Outline Of Desert Theory - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon Jan 1985

Outline Of Desert Theory - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon

Scholarship Chronologically

Locke suggests that a covetous stranger has no justification to complain of another’s taking possession and ownership of land if, after the owner’s appropriation, “there was as good left, as that already possessed, and more than he [the potential complainer] knew what to do with, or his industry could reach to.”

Notes On Value And Property - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon Jan 1985

Notes On Value And Property - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon

Scholarship Chronologically

My contention is that “value” should not be the basis for legal protection unless (a) there’s social as well as private value invoked and (b) the legal protection is necessary for the generation of, or protection of, the social value.


Notes On Value - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon Jan 1985

Notes On Value - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon

Scholarship Chronologically

The relation between value and property is very much at the core of this paper. First, as a theoretical matter (Holmes; the Ordinary Observer; custom and interactive pattern.) Second, intellectual products have increased greatly in value, shown both by statistics [3] and also by that unfortunate but fairly reliable secondary indicator of a phenomenon’s social importance: the volume of litigation concerning it.

Workshop Notes On New Property Rights - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon Jan 1985

Workshop Notes On New Property Rights - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon

Scholarship Chronologically

There’s a growth-by-accretion of new property rights, largely pushed by an unjust enrichment principles. Such a principle is itself without definable 1imits in an interrelated society. My task: looking at this trend from different vantage pts, other than that of pure desert, is the trend a good one. My view is that by and large it is not, but what we’ll discuss today falls far short of any such broad conclusion.


Copyright And The Moral Right: Is An American Marriage Possible?, Roberta R. Kwall Jan 1985

Copyright And The Moral Right: Is An American Marriage Possible?, Roberta R. Kwall

Vanderbilt Law Review

The 1976 Copyright Act (the 1976 Act) embodies the most extensive reforms in the history of our nation's copyright laws. One proposed reform that is noticeably absent from the statutory scheme, however, is the explicit adoption of protections for the personal rights of creators with respect to their works. Instead,the 1976 Act continues this country's tradition of safeguarding only the pecuniary rights of a copyright owner. By assuring the copyright owner the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the original work, to prepare derivative works, and to perform and display publicly certain types of copyrighted works, the 1976 Act focuses …

Reforms And Innovations Regarding Authors' And Performers' Rights In France: Commentary On The Law Of July 3, 1985, Jane C. Ginsburg

Faculty Scholarship

Following thirteen months of parliamentary deliberations, on July 3, 1985, France enacted a law which brings major reforms and additions to its copyright act of March 11, 1957. The new law becomes effective on January 1, 1986. Among the French modernizations and innovations discussed in this Article are the new law's provisions regarding: computer software protection and ownership; royalties for home taping of audio and audiovisual works; and the recognition and regulation of "neighboring rights." These provisions extend statutory protection for the contributions of performing artists, and also accord reproduction and performance rights to the producers of phono- and videograms. …


Authors' Rights In France: The Moral Right Of The Creator Of A Commissioned Work To Compel The Commissioning Party To Complete The Work, André Françon, Jane C. Ginsburg Jan 1985

Authors' Rights In France: The Moral Right Of The Creator Of A Commissioned Work To Compel The Commissioning Party To Complete The Work, André Françon, Jane C. Ginsburg

Faculty Scholarship

The French law protecting authors' rights incorporates two distinct regimes of rights, "pecuniary" rights, and "moral" rights. As the denomination indicates, pecuniary rights pertain to the author's economic interests, and provide the author a monopoly in the reproduction and public performance of his work. Moral rights safeguard the author's "personality" interest in his work. Despite the appellation "moral" rights, the author's claims under French law to the security of his personality as expressed in his work are not precatory: moral rights entail several distinct and enforceable interests. These are: the right to make the work known to the public "droit …
