Musical Work Copyright For The Era Of Digital Sound Technology: Looking Beyond Composition And Performance, Robert Brauneis
Musical Work Copyright For The Era Of Digital Sound Technology: Looking Beyond Composition And Performance, Robert Brauneis
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
For over 150 years, federal copyright law in the United States reflected and reinforced the model ofmusic as a two-stage art of composition and performance. Copyright protected scores, the stable, visually perceptible result of the deliberative activity of composition. It did not protect performances, theevanescent, unrepeatable, purely aural realizations of scores. Even as protection was extended tomusical sound recordings, copyright law has maintained a strong distinction between composition andperformance. In the last several decades, however, developments in sound technologies and their uses by musicians and listeners have substantially undermined that distinction. Written notation often no longer figures in any stage …
Rethinking Online Privacy In Canada: Commentary On Voltage Pictures V. John And Jane Doe, Ngozi Okidegbe
Rethinking Online Privacy In Canada: Commentary On Voltage Pictures V. John And Jane Doe, Ngozi Okidegbe
Articles
This article problematizes the use of the bona fide case standard as the legal standard for a court to order a third party Internet Service Provider ("ISP") to disclose subscriber information to a copyright owner in online piracy cases. It argues that ISP account holders have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their subscriber information. It contends that the current bona fide case standard affords a relatively low threshold of protection for Internet users’ subscriber information. The reason for which the article takes this position is that the bona fide case standard can be met solely by IP address evidence, …
Copyright’S Private Ordering And The 'Next Great Copyright Act', Jennifer E. Rothman
Copyright’S Private Ordering And The 'Next Great Copyright Act', Jennifer E. Rothman
All Faculty Scholarship
Private ordering plays a significant role in the application of intellectual property laws, especially in the context of copyright law. In this Article, I highlight some of the dominant modes of private ordering and consider what formal copyright law should do, if anything, to engage with private ordering in the copyright space. I conclude that there is not one single approach that copyright law should take with regard to private ordering, but instead several different approaches. In some instances, the best option is for the law to get out of the way and simply continue to provide room for various …
Toward A Closer Integration Of Law And Computer Science, Christopher S. Yoo
Toward A Closer Integration Of Law And Computer Science, Christopher S. Yoo
All Faculty Scholarship
Legal issues increasingly arise in increasingly complex technological contexts. Prominent recent examples include the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA), network neutrality, the increasing availability of location information, and the NSA’s surveillance program. Other emerging issues include data privacy, online video distribution, patent policy, and spectrum policy. In short, the rapid rate of technological change has increasingly shown that law and engineering can no longer remain compartmentalized into separate spheres. The logical response would be to embed the interaction between law and policy deeper into the fabric of both fields. An essential step would …

Afterword: Conferring About The Conference, Jessica Silbey, Aaron Perzanowski, Marketa Trimble
Faculty Scholarship
We heard at the conference five rich papers, all addressing in one way or another the conference's theme: "ReCalibrating Copyright: Continuity, Contemporary Culture, and Change." Professor Craig Joyce, in his capacity as conference convener, asked us as Fellows, at the end of the day of presentations and discussions, how we thought the Presenters' papers spoke to each other and to the conference's focus.
On Aereo And "Avoision", Rebecca Giblin, Jane C. Ginsburg
On Aereo And "Avoision", Rebecca Giblin, Jane C. Ginsburg
Faculty Scholarship
Avoision describes conduct which seeks to exploit 'the differences between a law's goals and its self-defined limits' – a phenomenon particularly apparent in tax law. This short paper explains how the technology company Aereo utilised avoision strategies in an attempt to design its way out of liability under US copyright law. The authors argue that existing formulations encourage such strategies by applying differently depending on how the transaction is structured, resulting in a wasteful devotion of resources to hyper-technical compliance with the letter rather than meaning and purpose of the law.?
Intellectual Property Experimentalism By Way Of Competition Law, Tim Wu
Intellectual Property Experimentalism By Way Of Competition Law, Tim Wu
Faculty Scholarship
Competition law and Intellectual Property have divergent intellectual cultures – the former more pragmatic and experimentalist; the latter influenced by natural law and vested rights. The US Supreme Court decision in Federal Trade Commission v. Actavis is an intellectual victory for the former approach, one that suggests that antitrust law can and should be used to introduce greater scrutiny of the specific consequences of intellectual property grants.
The Fair Use Doctrine: Markets, Market Failure And Rights Of Use, Wendy J. Gordon
The Fair Use Doctrine: Markets, Market Failure And Rights Of Use, Wendy J. Gordon
Faculty Scholarship
Markets are most acceptable when they serve efficiency and other goals. It is only under transaction-costless conditions of perfect knowledge, flawless and cost-free enforcement, full monetization, and instantaneous ability to organize and negotiate, that markets are guaranteed to generate efficient outcomes. And even then, markets could fall short as social tools, because goals other than allocative efficiency may fail to be met.
