Raise The Yellow Submarine! Subafilms And Extraterritorial Application Of The Copyright Act, Michael T. Crowley
Raise The Yellow Submarine! Subafilms And Extraterritorial Application Of The Copyright Act, Michael T. Crowley
Federal Communications Law Journal
Protecting United States industry from the costs of overseas pirating is complex without an enforceable bilateral copyright agreement. In fact, the U.S. loses billions of dollars to acts of piracy abroad every year. Yet, the Ninth Circuit destroyed a potential check against overseas piracy in Subafilms, Ltd. v. MGM-Pathe Communs. Co. when it ruled that the U.S. Copyright Act does not prohibit piracy abroad. After a discussion of relevant case law surrounding extraterritorial application of the Copyright Act, the Author of this Note criticizes the Subafilms decision and proposes changes to the current language contained in the Copyright Act.
Application Of International Water Law To Transboundary Groundwater Resources, And The Slovak-Hungarian Dispute Over Gabcikovo-Nagymaros, Gabriel Eckstein
Application Of International Water Law To Transboundary Groundwater Resources, And The Slovak-Hungarian Dispute Over Gabcikovo-Nagymaros, Gabriel Eckstein
Faculty Scholarship
The growth in global population and economic development has resulted in tremendous pressures on existing sources of fresh water. Human water use over the past three centuries increased by a factor of thirty-five and is growing by four to eight percent annually. Coupled with recurring international disputes over water resources, poor water management, and the realization that water is an indispensable but finite resource, these trends have propelled the use and management of transboundary groundwater resources to the forefront of legal debate.
Until recently, matters relating to groundwater resources were relatively ignored in the context of international law applicable to …
Reflections On Regional Human Rights Law, Gabriel M. Wilner
Reflections On Regional Human Rights Law, Gabriel M. Wilner
Scholarly Works
The principal purpose of the Colloquium, as can be seen from the great attention given to the papers presented by the second panel, was to discuss the uses of customary international human rights law in the defense of human rights before national courts. More generally, these discussions focused on the effectiveness of customary international human rights rules in influencing legislative and policy-making, administrative decisions and, particularly, judicial adjudication, at international and national levels. The initial and wider question of the feasibility of using custom as a source of human rights rules formed the underlying aspects of the debates in the …
Sources Of International Law, Louis B. Sohn
Sources Of International Law, Louis B. Sohn
Scholarly Works
To summarize, States can agree on international law begin made in any way they wish. Once they agree on a method, the matter is over. As I have pointed out, every few y ears we invent a new method; there is no end to ingenuity of human beings. by the year 2000, there might be one or two more methods. We are still applying the 19th century rule that international law is made by the community of states, but in every generation the community has been able to invent new methods for crystallizing international law. We finally have accepted the …

The Role Of Multilateral Finance And The Environment: A View From The World Bank, Andrew Steer, Jocelyn Mason
The Role Of Multilateral Finance And The Environment: A View From The World Bank, Andrew Steer, Jocelyn Mason
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Dr. Steer and Mr. Mason begin by noting that since fundingfor
the Rio Earth Summit agreements has not been forthcoming,
multilateralfinanciailn stitutions (MFIs) have taken responsibilityf or
advancing the environmental agenda set forth at the Summit. Dr.
Steer and Mr. Mason note that MFIs furnish three crucial functions
in implementing the global environmental agenda. First, MFIs are
able to target investments in developing countries that involve
important environmental issues. Second, MFIs are able to support
policy reforms within developing countries to ensure environmental
standards and issues are properly addressed. Finally, MFIs can
multiply a small amount offunding into a significant …
International Law, Industrial Location, And Pollution, Duane Chapman, Jean Agras, Vivek Suri
International Law, Industrial Location, And Pollution, Duane Chapman, Jean Agras, Vivek Suri
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
The dominant position of economists on trade and environment is that
increasing trade raises living standards, which provide the economic
basis for reduced pollution. Professors Chapman, Agras, and Suri
present a perspective that raises very different points. First, the dramatic
growth of manufacturing in East Asia for global markets is
based entirely (or nearly so) on the importation of processed
pollution-intensive raw materials. For a typical product in this global
system, a U.S. consumer purchasing an Asian product made from
imported resources benefits from a lower price and a cleaner local
environment; however, energy use and pollution associated with the …

Customary (And Not So Customary) International Environmental Law, Daniel Bodansky
Customary (And Not So Customary) International Environmental Law, Daniel Bodansky
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
In this article, Professor Bodansky examines the creation and importance of customary international law. He suggests that the debate over the legal status of any given norm may be misplaced Instead, he suggests that international lawmakers should spend their time and energy incorporating norms, regardless of their true status, into "concrete treaties and actions." The author begins his discussion by providing a working definition of customary international law. He asserts that such law can be based not just on uniformities of state behavior, as is traditionally held, but also on regularities in behavior. Thus, customary international law can be formed …
Enforcement And The Success Of International Environmental Law, Mary Ellen O'Connell
Enforcement And The Success Of International Environmental Law, Mary Ellen O'Connell
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Professor O'Connell discusses the tradtional methods used for international law "enforcement," and she argues that international law is generally obeyed Its enforcement is based primarily on compliance, not enforcement. Accordingly, the author argues against using international enforcement mechanisms to enforce international environmental law. Instead, she posits that domestic courts should be used for international environmental law enforcement, however, certain obstacles, such as sovereign immunity, the doctrine of standing, and the principle of forum non conveniens, must be overcome. Professor O'Connell argues that it may be possible to overcome many of these court-made obstacles to enforcing international law through domestic courts. …
The Puzzling Relationship Between Trade And Environment: Nafta, Competitiveness, And The Pursuit Of Environmental Welfare Objectives, Ileana M. Porras
The Puzzling Relationship Between Trade And Environment: Nafta, Competitiveness, And The Pursuit Of Environmental Welfare Objectives, Ileana M. Porras
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is often claimed to be a "promising beginning" for the reconciliation of trade and environment. Professor Porras, however, suggests that the form that "reconciliation" takes in NAFTA is extremely problematic. Harmonization of standards to facilitate the free flow of trade is a familiar trade goal. NAFTA's provisions regarding environmental standards, however, are not a straightforward requirement to harmonize standards. Rather, NAFTA recognizes state autonomy in standard setting, on the one hand, while requiring a form of upward harmonization, on the other. According to Professor Porras, the result of such an arrangement is the …
International Environmental Law And The "Bottom-Up" Approach: A Review Of The Desertification Convention, Kyle W. Danish
International Environmental Law And The "Bottom-Up" Approach: A Review Of The Desertification Convention, Kyle W. Danish
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
The media was once filled with images of encroaching deserts and
starving populations. Attention has since shifted to other issues, but
the problems remain. Desertification is acute not only in familiar
desert regions such as the Sahara, but in regions such as the Sahelian
and Other drylands which comprise nearly thirty-five percent of the
earth's total land area. Mr. Danish analyzes the Desertification
Convention of 1995, discussing both the Convention's efforts to
address the environmental degradation and the Convention's impact
on international notions of the state, crafting large-scale responses,
and generating centralized regulation. This Convention employs a
"bottom-up" approach; it …
