Copyright In Legal Documents, David Vaver Oct 1993

Copyright In Legal Documents, David Vaver

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

Original legal documents and forms have long enjoyed copyright protection. After looking at Commonwealth and U.S. decisions, the author discusses the nature, extent, and desirability of protection. An examination of the technicalities of copyright protection reveals a law drafted in broad generalities and ill-suited to respond adequately to the common practices arising from this class and, by implication, other classes of creative work. The author concludes by suggesting practical ways in which legislators, lawyers, and judges can solve some of the copyright problems generated through the use of legal documents.

Recent Developments In Copyright Protection For Computer Software In The United States And Japan, Yutaka Nakamura Jul 1993

Recent Developments In Copyright Protection For Computer Software In The United States And Japan, Yutaka Nakamura

Many current legal issues pertaining to copyright of computer software involve defining the scope of protection of non-literal expression, such as "user interface" and "look and feel," in contrast to literal expression, such as "source code," to which ownership may be more clearly attributed. Superficially, it appears that the case law pertaining to non-literal expression is developing differently in Japan and the United States. This comment demonstrates that, however, while Japanese and U.S. courts have been applying formally different analytical criteria, the decisions of both have been similar in seeking equity-oriented solutions.

Cites For Sore Ears (A Paper Moon), Vaughan Black, David Fraser Apr 1993

Cites For Sore Ears (A Paper Moon), Vaughan Black, David Fraser

Dalhousie Law Journal

Music, as we know, is one of our vital cultural practices. It "has charms to soothe a savage breast" and is "the food of love."' Someone who does not love music is not to be trusted but someone "who has music in his [sic] soul will be most in love with the loveliest." Music and one's attitude towards it tell us a lot about the ethical and moral value of a person. Law, another key part of our culture, has traditionally dealt with music mainly as something which might fall within the domain of copyright or some related field of …
