When Does A Work Infringe The Derivative Works Right Of A Copyright Owner?, Amy B. Cohen
Faculty Scholarship
Consider the following fact situation: A, an artist, designs art work and registers the copyright in that art work. A then licenses P to publish note cards using the art work. The note cards are published by P and distributed to retail card stores. T purchases several hundred cards and then takes each card, glues it carefully to a ceramic tile, and sells the tiles for a profit as "tile art" that purchasers can use to decorate walls, counters, even floors. If A now sues T for copyright infringement, how should the court rule? Has T infringed A's copyright?

Massachusetts' Domestic Partnership Challenge: Hope For A Better Future, Jennifer Levi
Massachusetts' Domestic Partnership Challenge: Hope For A Better Future, Jennifer Levi
Faculty Scholarship
Acknowledging that its decision means that "some household members" may be without a "critical social necessity," the Massachusetts Supreme Iudicial Court (SJC) ruled in Connors v. City of Boston that Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino's executive order granting health insurance benefits to the domestic partners of city employees could not stand in the face of a Massachusetts state insurance law. In Connors, the SJC simultaneously recognized that although the demographics of Massachusetts households have changed within the more than forty years since the state insurance law, G.L. c. 32B (Chapter 32B), was adopted, that law nevertheless constrains municipalities from extending …

Libraries Face Internet Filter Question, Pat Newcombe
Libraries Face Internet Filter Question, Pat Newcombe
Faculty Scholarship
The Author describes how libraries electronically bar access to objectionable Internet sites and the legal trouble encountered with this policy by free-speech advocates. The ALA, the American Civil Liberties Union, and other free-speech advocates have strongly resisted having libraries play the role of lnternet censor. But parents and patrons who use the libraries on a regular basis have pressured libraries in a growing number of communities to devise some kind of barrier to viewing sexually explicit material from the Internet on library PCs.
Cross-Border Bank Branching Under The Nafta: Public Choice And The Law Of Corporate Groups, Eric J. Gouvin
Cross-Border Bank Branching Under The Nafta: Public Choice And The Law Of Corporate Groups, Eric J. Gouvin
Faculty Scholarship
This Article examines a question left unresolved after the negotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA): whether the banks of the member countries should be permitted to engage in the business of banking in the other member countries simply by branching across national borders. Under present law, the United States permits branching subject to extensive restrictions, while Canada and Mexico permit access to their banking markets only by acquisition or establishment of institutions chartered in their countries. While the NAFTA does not provide for unfettered branching across national borders, article 1403(3) of the NAFTA left the issue of …
Of Hungry Wolves And Horizontal Conflicts: Rethinking The Justifications For Bank Holding Company Liability, Eric J. Gouvin
Of Hungry Wolves And Horizontal Conflicts: Rethinking The Justifications For Bank Holding Company Liability, Eric J. Gouvin
Faculty Scholarship
To what extent should bank holding companies bear the costs of bank failure? Current banking law provides a number of ways to impose liability on bank holding companies for bank failure. Those devices, however, have developed haphazardly and sometimes rest on inconsistent theoretical foundations. This Article critiques the regulatory justifications that have been offered for holding company liability and offers an alternative justification for imposing liability on holding companies based on the idea that directors of bank subsidiaries suffer from an especially difficult form of horizontal conflict--the situation where the board of directors owes several different duties and chooses to …
