Information Wants To Be Free, But The Packaging Is Going To Cost You, Gregory A. Stobbs
Information Wants To Be Free, But The Packaging Is Going To Cost You, Gregory A. Stobbs
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
The question is this: where do we draw the line between private ownership and the public domain? It is not a question of choosing between copyright and patent, of choosing between hardware and software, or of choosing between implementation and algorithm. It is a more fundamental question that reaches back to ancient human values and transcends our current fixation on computers and software. It helps to put things in perspective. When debating where we and the law are headed (as we are now), it helps to know where we have been. In this regard, do not assume that software patents …
Sofware Patents And The Information Economy, Michael Perelman
Sofware Patents And The Information Economy, Michael Perelman
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
Modern economists universally acknowledge that information is an essential component of productivity. Moreover, as they begin to focus more and more on the nature of information, their conception of information widens considerably.
Digital Demons And Lost Lawyers: A Review Of Law In A Digital World By M. Ethan Katsh, Bruce A. Markell
Digital Demons And Lost Lawyers: A Review Of Law In A Digital World By M. Ethan Katsh, Bruce A. Markell
Federal Communications Law Journal
The increase in technology gives rise to an interesting discussion on whether the way lawyers approach the law will change. This question is analyzed with Professor Katsh's premise that the increase in the use of computers and networks will ultimately change the manner in which lawyers accumulate and use information. The Reviewer defends the role of lawyers as being more than just "information providers;" lawyers are guardians of a distinguished service as well. The Reviewer declares that what lawyers do cannot be oversimplified by computers and networks. Nevertheless, the Reviewer emphasizes that Law in a Digital World does provide insight …

An End To The Odyssey: Equal Athletic Opportunities For Women, Jeffrey H. Orleans
An End To The Odyssey: Equal Athletic Opportunities For Women, Jeffrey H. Orleans
Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy
I. Preface Princess and maids delighted in that feast; then, putting off their veils, they ran and passed a ball to a rhythmic beat. 1 So Homer, c. 800 B.C., sings of Princess Nausikaa before she befriends Odysseus near a stream on the island of Skheria. Homer's adventurer ac- cepts his royal rescuer's "game of her own" without surprise. Three millen- nia later, many American colleges are still unsure how men and women can have as equal a chance to "pass a ball" against other colleges as to parse the epic of Odysseus and Penelope in their classrooms. Title IX …
Of Seeds And Shamans: The Appropriation Of The Scientific And Technical Knowledge Of Indigenous And Local Communities, Naomi Roht-Arriaza
Of Seeds And Shamans: The Appropriation Of The Scientific And Technical Knowledge Of Indigenous And Local Communities, Naomi Roht-Arriaza
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article recasts the debates over access to, and control over, genetic and biological knowledge and resources in terms of the appropriation of indigenous and local communities' knowledge and resources. It first discusses recent examples of appropriation as currently conducted by global biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and agribusiness corporations and their associates in Northern universities, seed and gene banks, and research centers. Second, it describes and exposes the mechanisms of appropriation by focusing on the limited and culturally determined definitions of what is "wild" as opposed to "cultivated," what is "knowledge" and who can possess it, and what are "innovations" and "inventions." …
International Law And The Information Age, John K. Gamble
International Law And The Information Age, John K. Gamble
Michigan Journal of International Law
The subject of this article is problematic because of the paucity of other work addressing the topic and its amorphous and technical nature. The author shall argue that the information age will affect almost all aspects of how international law is made and studied, everything from theory to sources to research to teaching. Rather than limiting the article to one or two aspects of the changes brought by the information age, the author offers a tour d'horizon. This risks superficiality, but is consonant with the goal of stimulating discussion about issues that are important to the future of international …
Norms Of Communication And Commodification, Wendy J. Gordon
Norms Of Communication And Commodification, Wendy J. Gordon
Faculty Scholarship
Around the laws that regulate information and communication swarm a host of related nonlegal norms: norms of secrecy, confidentiality, and privacy; of anonymity, source-identity, and citation; of quotation, paraphrase, and hyperbole; norms of free copying and norms of obtaining permission; norms of gossip and of blackmail. The articles by Saul Levmore and Richard McAdams provide useful windows on some of the ways these laws and norms interact. The two articles also provide insight into the comparative advantage possessed in some circumstances by law and by nonlegal norms, respectively, when information and communication are at issue. In my brief Comment I …
