A State Law Approach To Preserving Fair Use In Academic Libraries, David R. Hansen Nov 2011

A State Law Approach To Preserving Fair Use In Academic Libraries, David R. Hansen

David R Hansen

Every year academic libraries spend millions of dollars to provide their users access to copyrighted works. Much of that money goes not toward purchasing physical copies of books or journals, but toward licensing electronic content from publishers. In those electronic license agreements, the default rules for how users interact with copyrighted content is often altered, and academic library users are deprived of basic rights — especially rights such as fair use — which are granted under federal copyright law. The literature is flush with discussion of the misuse of private contracts to alter the rights granted by Congress in copyright’s …

Resolving Conflicts Between Green Technology Transfer And Intellectual Property Law, Robert V. Percival, Alan Miller

Robert Percival

This paper examines claims that intellectual property law, which is designed to create incentives for innovation, actually may inhibit the transfer to developing countries of green energy innovations. Although the paper cannot find significant examples of green energy technologies whose diffusion has been hindered by existing intellectual property protections, it explores strategies, such as compulsory licensing schemes, for responding to such problems if and when they arise in the future. The paper concludes that intellectual property law need not be an obstacle to a global transformation toward a green energy infrastructure that can promote economic development while advancing new levels …

Whose Body Is It Anyway? Human Cells And The Strange Effects Of Property And Intellectual Property Law, Robin C. Feldman May 2011

Whose Body Is It Anyway? Human Cells And The Strange Effects Of Property And Intellectual Property Law, Robin C. Feldman

Robin C Feldman

Whatever else I might own in this world, it would seem intuitively obvious that I own the cells of my body. Where else could the notion of ownership begin, other than with the components of the tangible corpus that all would recognize as "me?" The law, however, does not view the issue so neatly and clearly, particularly when cells are no long in your body. As so often happens in law, we have reached this point, not by design, but by the piecemeal development of disparate notions that, when gathered together, form a strange and disconcerting picture.

Costos Sin Beneficios. Artículo 5 Bis De La Ley 11.723, Maximiliano Marzetti Dec 2010

Costos Sin Beneficios. Artículo 5 Bis De La Ley 11.723, Maximiliano Marzetti

Maximiliano Marzetti

La incorporación del artículo 5 bis a la ley 11.723 representa una pérdida neta de bienestar social. Se trata de una norma ineficiente y por lo tanto innecesaria. La reforma tendría que haberse evitado. Su único efecto es una transferencia de riqueza (sin ninguna justificación válida) de parte de los consumidores argentinos hacia los productores de fonogramas y agencias de gestión colectiva.
