Scholarly Journals And The Open Access Conundrum, Colin B. Sakumoto
Scholarly Journals And The Open Access Conundrum, Colin B. Sakumoto
Colin B Sakumoto
This paper examines the desirability and feasibility of open access scholarly journals with particular emphasis on the parties shaping the production of these journals. In examining how the current publishing model will shape the implementation of open access publishing, analysis of the obstacles likely to hinder implementation is given in depth. Finally, a number of measures are suggested to help build the momentum needed to one day realize a widespread open access publishing model.
A Uniquely Canadian Institution: The Copyright Board Of Canada, Daniel J. Gervais
A Uniquely Canadian Institution: The Copyright Board Of Canada, Daniel J. Gervais
Daniel J Gervais
Several countries have fostered the growth of Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) through legislative initiatives in the belief that CMOs offer a viable solution to the problems associated with individual licensing, collecting royalties and enforcing copyright against large numbers of users. In theory, collective licensing enables creators to exercise rights in a fair, efficient and accessible manner. It ensures copyright protection when individual management of it becomes difficult or impracticable. However, collective management is not a panacea, and questions have been raised about the efficiency and the transparency of CMOs and their continued relevancy in the digital age. This Chapter attempts …
Considering The Reach Of Phelps, Thomas G. Field Jr.
Considering The Reach Of Phelps, Thomas G. Field Jr.
The University of New Hampshire Law Review
[Excerpt] “As the Supreme Court recently confirmed in Quanta Computer, Inc. v. LG Electronics, Inc., patent and copyright owners have limited rights following voluntary transfers of protected goods. Moreover, as discussed at length by the Second Circuit in Platt & Munk Co. v. Republic Graphics, Inc., patent owners‟ rights have long been similarly affected by involuntary transfers. Platt & Munk finds the lack of equivalent copyright rulings remarkable, but does not allow lack of direct precedent to stand in the way of finding that involuntary transferees of copyright-protected goods have the same rights as voluntary transferees.
Initially, the Fourth Circuit, …

The Dangers Of The Digital Millennium Copyright Act: Much Ado About Nothing?, Steve P. Calandrillo, Ewa M. Davison
The Dangers Of The Digital Millennium Copyright Act: Much Ado About Nothing?, Steve P. Calandrillo, Ewa M. Davison
William & Mary Law Review
In 1998, Congress passed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a landmark piece of legislation aimed at protecting copyright holders from those who might manufacture or traffic technology capable of allowing users to evade piracy protections on the underlying work. At its core, the DMCA flatly prohibits the circumvention of "technological protection measures "in order to gain access to copyrighted works, but provides no safety valve for any traditionally protected uses. While hailed as a victory by the software and entertainment industries, the academic and scientific communities have been far less enthusiastic. The DMCA's goal of combating piracy is a …
Draft For Harmless Use: Gleaning From Fields Of Copyrighted Works - 2008, Wendy J. Gordon
Draft For Harmless Use: Gleaning From Fields Of Copyrighted Works - 2008, Wendy J. Gordon
Scholarship Chronologically
My inquiry is into whether harmless uses of property should give the property owner a right to sue. Under current law, harmless trespasses to land and to copyrights and patents do indeed give rise to liability. Should they? Neither moral philosophy, political science nor economics deals well with the harmless free-rider. The possibility I'm exploring-- just exploring at this stage-- is the following: that where inexhaustible products like information become a primary source of value, our institutions might serve us better if instead of mandating payment for harmless use via legal compulsion, payment for harmless use be left to the …
"Fit For Purpose:" Why The European Union Should Not Extend The Term Of Related Rights Protection In Europe, Susanna Monseau
"Fit For Purpose:" Why The European Union Should Not Extend The Term Of Related Rights Protection In Europe, Susanna Monseau
Susanna Monseau
This paper argues that the European Union should not, as it currently proposes, extend the term of protection for sound recordings in Europe. It compares the U.K. government’s current policy that the scope and length of copyright protection for sound recordings should not be extended, with that of the European Union which, encouraged by the French government particularly, has recently proposed an extension from the 50 year term to a 95-year term of copyright protection for sound recordings. It analyzes several major independent reviews of the evidence on extending copyright protection for sound recordings, including the findings and recommendations of …

The Harry Potter Lexicon And The World Of Fandom: Fan Fiction, Outsider Works, And Copyright, Aaron Schwabach
The Harry Potter Lexicon And The World Of Fandom: Fan Fiction, Outsider Works, And Copyright, Aaron Schwabach
Aaron Schwabach
Fan fiction, long a nearly invisible form of outsider art, has grown exponentially in volume and legal importance in the past decade. Because of its nature, authorship, and underground status, fan fiction stands at an intersection of issues of property, sexuality, and gender. This article examines three disputes over fan writings, concluding with the recent dispute between J.K. Rowling and Steven Vander Ark over the Harry Potter Lexicon, which Rowling once praised and more recently succeeded in suppressing. The article builds on and adds to the emerging body of scholarship on fan fiction, concluding that much fan fiction is fair …

Copyright And The Fashion Industry, Victoria R. Watkins
Copyright And The Fashion Industry, Victoria R. Watkins
Victoria R Watkins
This paper seeks to discuss the relationship, or lack there of, between copyrights and the fashion industry. Although fashion designs are works of authorship, and comply with originality requirements of § 102 of the Copyright Act, the structure and nature of the industry do not compel the need for this protection, enabling it to run efficiently without it. In order to prove the stated claim, the article will examine the history of the industry, case law, other scholarly writings and current trends in the market.
Testing The Over- And Under-Exploitation Hypotheses: Bestselling Musical Compositions (1913-32) And Their Use In Cinema (1968-2007), Paul J. Heald
Testing The Over- And Under-Exploitation Hypotheses: Bestselling Musical Compositions (1913-32) And Their Use In Cinema (1968-2007), Paul J. Heald
Paul J. Heald
Some economists assert that as valuable works transition from copyrighted status and fall into the public domain they will be underexploited and their value dissipated. Others insist instead that without an owner to control their use, valuable public domain works will be overexploited or otherwise debased. This study of the most valuable musical compositions from 1913-32 demonstrates that neither hypothesis is true as it applies to the exploitation of songs in movies from 1968-2007. When compositions fall into the public domain, they are just as likely to be exploited in movies, suggesting no under-exploitation. And the rate of exploitation of …
Grokster, Bittorrent, Copyright Infringement, And Inducement: How Modus Operandi Can Provide A Functional Standard For Future File-Sharing Cases, Jamie Gregorian
Grokster, Bittorrent, Copyright Infringement, And Inducement: How Modus Operandi Can Provide A Functional Standard For Future File-Sharing Cases, Jamie Gregorian
Jamie Gregorian
In 2005, the Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling in MGM Studios Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd. In that ruling, the Court created the inducement standard, a new avenue by which artists could pursue claims against file-sharing companies that were facilitating the infringement of their intellectual property. Under the inducement standard, the act of inducing another to infringe copyright is now sufficient to confer secondary liability. As file-sharing outfits continue to learn from previous judicial decisions and tailor their infringement-facilitating software so as to avoid legal liability, the criminal law concept of modus operandi may prove beneficial to courts in deciding …
Guns And Speech Technologies: How The Right To Bear Arms Affects Copyright Regulations Of Speech Technologies, Edward Lee
Edward Lee
This Essay examines the possible effect the Supreme Court’s landmark Second Amendment ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller will have on future cases brought under the Free Press Clause. Based on the text and history of the Constitution, the connection between the two Clauses is undeniable, as the Heller Court itself repeatedly suggested. Only two provisions in the entire Constitution protect individual rights to a technology: the Second Amendment’s right to bear “arms” and the Free Press Clause’s right to the freedom of the “press,” meaning the printing press. Both rights were viewed, moreover, as preexisting, natural rights to …
Copyright Infringement In The Internet Age - Primetime For Harmonized Conflict-Of-Laws Rules?, Anita B. Frohlich
Copyright Infringement In The Internet Age - Primetime For Harmonized Conflict-Of-Laws Rules?, Anita B. Frohlich
Anita B Frohlich
The traditionally national nature of law endangers its very raison d’être in today’s interconnected and borderless world. Conflict-of-laws methodology may prove to represent an adequate means to maintain relevance of national legal tradition in presence of the increasingly international nature of legal disputes. Here, I propose that only a harmonized conflict-of-laws framework can achieve this goal. Specifically, I focus on international copyright law since (1) the current national jurisprudence in this field is unsatisfactory and disparate, (2) international intellectual property law has so far mostly failed to cross-fertilize with the field of conflict of laws, and (3) there have been …

Pirates Among The Second Life Islands – Why You Should Monitor The Misuse Of Your Intellectual Property In Online Virtual Worlds, Ben Quarmby
Ben Quarmby
Virtual online worlds such as Second Life – a world in which users can live, work and purchase virtual goods, services and real estate – have enjoyed a well-documented explosion in popularity. Their success, however, has not come without some degree of turbulence. Relying on the example of Second Life, this article will address one of the primary sources of concern to arise in connection with these worlds: the dramatic escalation in trademark and copyright violations in virtual world and its impact on real-world individuals or business entities. Given that users have the ability to design and create virtual property …

Intellectual Property Rights And Global Warming, Estaelle Derclaye
Intellectual Property Rights And Global Warming, Estaelle Derclaye
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
Global warming is an issue that is everywhere in today's society. This article examines whether intellectual property rights could be the solution to the global warming problem. The article limits its discussion to patent and copyright law and explores solutions to global warming that are applicable in Europe. The author suggests that these recommendations could influence other countries to make their intellectual property rights greener, as intellectual property rights are based on international instruments and universal agreements that could apply in any country. The article examines how current copyright and patent laws already tackle global warming and explains how these …
Kewanee Revisited: Returning To First Principles Of Intellectual Property Law To Determine The Issue Of Federal Preemption, Sharon K. Sandeen
Kewanee Revisited: Returning To First Principles Of Intellectual Property Law To Determine The Issue Of Federal Preemption, Sharon K. Sandeen
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
In the early 1970s it was thought that states could regulate in the areas of trade secrets without interfering with federal patent policies. However, this concept was called into question in the Sixth Circuit's ruling in Kewanee Oil Co. v. Bicron. In 1974 the Supreme Court ruled that Ohio's trade secret law was not preempted by federal patent law. This article revisits the issues raised in Kewanee in light of the Supreme Court's current preemption jurisprudence, changes in patent law, copyright law, and trade secret law since that time. First, the article reviews the history and context of the Kewanee …
Restricting Fair Use To Save The News: A Proposed Change In Copyright Law To Bring More Profit To News Reporting, Ryan T. Holte
Restricting Fair Use To Save The News: A Proposed Change In Copyright Law To Bring More Profit To News Reporting, Ryan T. Holte
Prof. Ryan T. Holte
This article deals with the current state of the news industry and the rapidly declining number of national newspapers. It examines the present condition of the media, the effect the Internet has had on the news business, and the economic and public policies behind protecting news. The paper then discusses the current means of protecting information, through copyright and misappropriation law, before proposing a change in the Copyright Act to better allow the news industry to reap profits from top-caliber news reporting.

LEVERAGING THE INTERNET’S COMMUNICATIONS POTENTIAL WHILE MANAGING THE MESSAGE TO MAINTAIN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE INTERESTS IN INFORMATION SECURITY, REPUTATION AND COMPLIANCE
By Margo E. K. Reder
For approximately eight years, Whole Foods Market, Inc. [Whole Foods] CEO John Mackey posted messages to Yahoo! Financial’s online message board for Whole Foods. Rather than using his real name, Mr. Mackey like many posters to chat rooms, created an online alter ego and posted his comments under a pseudonym. As “Rahodeb” Mr. Mackey promoted his Whole Foods chain, boasted about personal stock gains in Whole Foods stock, company plans and performance …
