Protecting Folklore Of Indigenous Peoples: Is Intellectual Property The Answer?, Christine Farley
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
What can the Navajos do to prevent non-Navajos from using Navajo rug patterns to produce rugs overseas using cheap material and labor, thereby undercutting the Navajos themselves in a market for their famous rugs? What can the Australian Aboriginal peoples do when their sacred and secret imagery is reporduced on carpets they did not make, and sold to non-Aboriginals, who will inevitably walk on them? Do these communities have any legal rights to these pieces of their culture? Does the law provide any means for them to take back their culture or to prevent further poaching?https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=923410
Caught In The Net Of Copyright, Peter Jaszi
Caught In The Net Of Copyright, Peter Jaszi
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
As an overture to this Comment, I'd like to begin with one of my favorite passages from the recent National Information Infrastructure (NII)Task Force Working Group Report on Intellectual Property and the NII-the so-called White Paper.' The passage is not one of the deceptively bland legislative proposals-nor one of the strategic half-truths in the purported summary of current copyright law. Rather, it is a passage from the section on copyright awareness, and it is an excellent example of a good idea gone wrong. The good idea is that our elementary and secondary schools could take a role in preparing students …

On The Author Effect: Contemporary Copyright And Collective Creativity, Peter Jaszi
On The Author Effect: Contemporary Copyright And Collective Creativity, Peter Jaszi
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
As exemplified by the articles in this volume, recent scholarship on "authorship" reflects various influences. Among the most important are Michel Foucault's article, What is an Author?, and Benjamin Kaplan's book, An Unhurried View of Copyright. Since the late 1960s, these two texts have influenced work in literary and legal studies respectively. Only recently, however, have the lines of inquiry that Foucault and Kaplan helped to initiate begun to converge.

The United States is a party to many copyright treaties, including a network of bilateral arrangements with other countries and one regional agreement. I will concentrate on the two major multilateral agreements to which the United States is a party, the Universal Copyright Convention ("UCC") and the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works ("Berne Convention").

Who Cares Who Wrote "Shakespeare"?, Peter Jaszi
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Obviously, a great many people, on both (or all) sides of the "authorship question," and they care a lot. The real question is why. Proponents of various authorship claimants compete in their protestations of admiration for the plays and poems in controversy. But if these works are in fact so universally and inexhaustibly fertile of significance, why should any admirer of them waste precious time, which might better be devoted to the study of the texts themselves, arguing about an ultimately irresoluble historical puzzle? And why is so much of the discussion conducted at such a relatively high pitch of …

When Works Collide: Derivative Motion Pictures, Underlying Rights, And The Public Interest, Peter Jaszi
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Dramatic motion pictures' are prime examples of what copyright law terms "derivative works' because they are almost invariably based upon one or more prior works. Derivative works are so-called because they borrow from original works whether or not those works are in the same media. The universe of derivative works is broad. It encompasses everything from stuffed toys representing cartoon characters to translations of serious-minded literature.
