Ip Things As Boundary Objects: The Case Of The Copyright Work, Michael J. Madison

It is usually argued that the central challenge in understanding the work is to develop a sensible method for appreciating its boundaries.

An inclusionary takings statute would also mandate that local municipalities and private developers provide affordable housing in new developments benefiting from eminent domain takings.
