Joutsing At Windmills: Cervantes And The Quixotic Fight For Authorial Control, H. Parkman Biggs
Joutsing At Windmills: Cervantes And The Quixotic Fight For Authorial Control, H. Parkman Biggs
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
Achieving the appropriate balance between the right of first authors to control the later use of their work and freedom for follow-on authors to further develop from that text has long been challenging.

Touro Law Review
In 2006, Greg Gillis was a twenty-four year old leading a double-life. During the day he was a biomedical engineer, but by night he was slowly becoming an infamous mash-up artist.

Part II also addresses how fair use and the Betamax standard might apply to digital technologies. Part III explains how the DMCA effectively abolished the defense of fair use and its application under the Betamax standard. Finally, Part IV …
