Copyright As Contract, Jeffrey L. Harrison
Copyright As Contract, Jeffrey L. Harrison
Jeffrey L Harrison
Copyright is essentially a contract between the author and the public with the government acting as the agent of the public. The consideration received by authors is defined by duration and breadth of exclusivity. The consideration for the public is the creation of a "work" that will be available on a limited basis for the life of the author plus 70 years and then available without limit after that. If there were no transaction costs at all, it would be possible to "pay" authors different amounts of exclusivity. Perhaps a greeting card would get one holiday season of exclusivity, if …

Abstract Sale submission to vendor and price payment by buyer generally shows just the explicit and implied will of both parties and their loyalty to their own legal commitments. For that reason, chronological ownership comes to be true in private contacts, in which vendor holding the completely discretionary by sending the object of sale by post, third party or his legal representative, provides buyer with complete discretionary for the object.

U.S. Immigration Policy: Contract Or Human Rights Law?, Victor Romero
Victor C. Romero
The current immigration debate often reflects a tension between affirming the individual rights of migrants against the power of a nation to control its borders. An examination of U.S. Supreme Court precedent reveals that, from our earliest immigration history to the present time, our immigration policy has functioned more like contract law than human rights law, with the Court deferring to the power of Congress to define the terms of that contract at the expense of the immigrant's freedom.

The franchise system of distribution of goods and services is playing an increasing role in our economy. One marketing authority distinguishes between the product franchise and the franchise of an entire business entity in terms of the role played by each in our complex marketing system of today. Product franchises are given to a few selected dealers in a community, and the distribution of the product is limited to these outlets alone. The other meaning of franchise, as a method of operating an entire business will concern us here.

The Sound Of Silence - An Analysis Of The Incorporation Of Arbitration Terms After Contract Formation, Jonathan Muk
Jonathan Muk
R1 International Pte Ltd v Lonstroff AG [2014] SGCA 56 (“R1 International”) is significant for it affirms the position that an arbitration clause may be incorporated into a contract subsequent to its formation if there was a prior understanding to that effect. In its decision, the Court of Appeal overruled the decision of the trial judge and held that an arbitration clause stating that arbitration is to be held in Singapore was incorporated subsequent to the formation of the contract. An analysis of the case is worthwhile, since the court’s view was that the arbitration term was incorporated as a …

Artificial Insemination From Donor (Aid) – From Status To Contract And Back Again?, Yehezkel Margalit

The last few decades have witnessed dramatic changes in the institutions of family and parenthood and an abandonment of the historical emphasis on their bionormative structures. These changes are the result of societal shifts with respect to public openness and technological innovations that segregate marital relations from sexuality and fertility. The resultant parenthood structures, which depart from traditional spousal and parental models, intensify the ability and need to determine legal parenthood in numerous unprecedented contexts. Sir Henry Maine famously stated that mankind is pacing from status toward contract. This theme has had particular resonance during the past half century in …
