Freelance Articles And Electronic Databases: Who Owns The Copyrights?, Christine Soares

Duke Law & Technology Review

There has long been uncertainty as to who owns the rights to digital reproductions of freelance articles. The Supreme Court has recently affirmed that copyrights for the digital reproduction of freelance articles belong to freelance authors, rather than the periodical and electronic media publishers who included the articles in electronic databases. However, in answering this question others, such as the preservation of the historical record and future dealings with freelance writers remain to be answered. The author discusses the recent Supreme Court ruling and offers answers to questions created by it.

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

In the case of Pazzalo v. Rhode Island the United States Supreme Court reversed a determination by the Rhode Island Supreme Court which held that land owners had no right to sue for a regulatory taking if the land owners purchased title to land on which a preexisting restriction existed. Before this case, the rule in New York also precluded landowners from challenging land use regulations that existed at the time they purchased land. After holding that a regulatory takings challenge existed, the Supreme Court remanded the case back to Rhode Island to decide whether the preexisting regulations affected the …

When Children And The Elderly Are Victims: Balancing The Rights Of The Accused Against Those Of The Victim, Charles W. Ehrhardt

Scholarly Publications

Child sexual abuse prosecutions involve difficult societal issues as well as complex evidentiary and constitutional problems. The abusive act frequently occurs in private upon a young victim who proves an unpersuasive witness during a subsequent trial. Often only two eye witnesses exist, the victim and the accused, thus making the victim's credibility a critical issue. Because of the nature of these prosecutions, there has been a special focus on the principles regulating the admissibility of evidence in child abuse cases. Balancing the due process and constitutional rights of the accused against the interests of both the child and society in …
