Europe: Open Market… Open Source?, Heather Forrest
Europe: Open Market… Open Source?, Heather Forrest
Duke Law & Technology Review
The recent Proposed Directive on the patentability of computer-implemented inventions takes the European Community a step further down the road towards patents for computer software. If the goal of the Proposed Directive is to facilitate market entry for individual programmers and small and medium enterprises -- as it must be within the framework of the European Treaty -- then the European Commission should not be expanding intellectual property rights in technology goods, which, by their very nature, will lose value to the public long before their monopoly rights expire. Rather, the Commission should look to the open source movement and …

Icann—Now And Then: Icann’S Reform And Its Problems, Kim G. Von Arx
Icann—Now And Then: Icann’S Reform And Its Problems, Kim G. Von Arx
Duke Law & Technology Review
This paper sheds some light upon the major problem arising from the current normative infrastructure of the DNS and provides a possible solution to the current physical problem of the DNS. The paper's main focus is the single-entity control of the A Root. The paper uses as a starting point the Blueprint prepared by the Committee on ICANN Evolution and Reform and raises the question: Has this reform done anything to resolve the single-entity control of the A Root? The paper argues that the reform has done nothing to solve the problem because the international privatization of the DNS merely …

From Napster To Kazaa: The Battle Over Peer-To-Peer Filesharing Goes International, Seagrumn Smith
Duke Law & Technology Review
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) may have won its domestic battle against Napster, but as an increasing number of peer-to-peer (P2P) providers crop up overseas, it has become apparent that the file-swapping battle has really just begun. As the recording and movie industries struggle to protect their copyrighted interests abroad, courts, both in the United States and in foreign countries, are being asked to answer difficult questions concerning international jurisdiction and enforcement. This ibrief will further explore these issues, particularly with reference to the RIAA's and Motion Picture Association of America's (MPAA) legal efforts against Kazaa, a foreign-based …
Due Process Erosion: The Diminution Of Live Testimony At The Icty, Megan A. Fairlie
Due Process Erosion: The Diminution Of Live Testimony At The Icty, Megan A. Fairlie
Faculty Publications
Shortly after its creation in 1993, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) adopted an adversarial construct and advocated a preference for the presentation of direct evidence, or live witness testimony, in its criminal trials. In the wake of that decision and under considerable pressure to expedite its proceedings, the ICTY judges responded with efforts to streamline the trial process, amending the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure and Evidence so as to incrementally increase the admissibility of written evidence. This article tracks the relevant rule changes and questions the merit of the decision to move away from live testimony. …

Anticipatory Repudiation Of Letters Of Credit, Keith A. Rowley
Anticipatory Repudiation Of Letters Of Credit, Keith A. Rowley
Scholarly Works
Letters of credit play a vital role in financing international transactions, and are becoming increasingly popular domestically as substitutes for more traditional secured financing. As such, they deserve substantially more scholarly attention than they receive outside of specialized treatises and banking trade publications. Moreover, as unilateral promises by issuers of the letters of credit to pay money to their beneficiaries, the fact that Article 5 of the Uniform Commercial Code and pre-UCC common law recognize the right of a beneficiary to sue for anticipatory repudiation is at odds with the prevailing rule in this country that a promisee cannot sue …
The American Influence On International Arbitration, Roger P. Alford
The American Influence On International Arbitration, Roger P. Alford
Journal Articles
It is indisputable that the international arbitration world is an identifiable epistemic community that transcends national borders, and whose members are shaped by their own experience. Increasingly, that experience reflects an American influence, be it heritage, training, affiliation, or client base. In these remarks, Professor Alford addresses three issues related to the Americanization of international arbitration. The first is whether international arbitration has, in fact, only recently become Americanized. He posits instead that there is always an ebb and flow to the level of the United States' involvement in international arbitration. During the drafting and signing of the 1958 New …
