Copyright's Communications Policy, Timothy Wu
Copyright's Communications Policy, Timothy Wu
Michigan Law Review
There is something for everyone to dislike about early twenty-first century copyright. Owners of content say that newer and better technologies have made it too easy to be a pirate. Easy copying, they say, threatens the basic incentive to create new works; new rights and remedies are needed to restore the balance. Academic critics instead complain that a growing copyright gives content owners dangerous levels of control over expressive works. In one version of this argument, this growth threatens the creativity and progress that copyright is supposed to foster; in another, it represents an "enclosure movement" that threatens basic freedoms …

Using Architectural Constraints And Game Theory To Regulate International Cyberspace Behavior, Van N. Nguy
Using Architectural Constraints And Game Theory To Regulate International Cyberspace Behavior, Van N. Nguy
San Diego International Law Journal
The debate over whether cyberspace can or should be regulated is essentially dead. This is the conclusion being taught in law schools today. The battle between Judge Frank Easterbrook and Professor Lawrence Lessig over "laws" and "horses", infamous among cyberspace legal scholars, became irrelevant when geographically-based governments began regulating Internet related activities. However, debate over how the Internet should be regulated continues. One way of framing this debate is in terms of deciding how to regulate behavior in cyberspace. Professor Lessig postulated four kinds of constraints regulate behavior: (1) social norms, (2) markets, (3) law, and (4) architecture. This comment …
Parity Rules: Mapping Regulatory Treatment Of Similar Services, Sherille Ismail
Parity Rules: Mapping Regulatory Treatment Of Similar Services, Sherille Ismail
Federal Communications Law Journal
The notion of regulatory parity has greatly impacted the evolution of American communications regulation, but the difficulties associated with applying this standard are frequently under-appreciated by industry participants. Throughout this Article, the Author acknowledges the difficulties in applying equal treatment standards to operators of various communications, video, and data services. Mr. Ismail asserts that several problems arise with attempts to ameliorate apparent disparities in how entities are regarded under current regulations, including difficulties in assessing revenue resources, channel control, and service delivery methods. The Article concludes that parity is difficult to define and apply in an effort to eliminate inefficiencies …
Proposed Regulations On Noncompensatory Options: A Light At The End Of The Tunnel, Walter D. Schwidetzky
Proposed Regulations On Noncompensatory Options: A Light At The End Of The Tunnel, Walter D. Schwidetzky
All Faculty Scholarship
It has become increasingly common for partnerships to issue options. There is a dearth of authority on the federal tax treatment of options to acquire interests in partnerships. In this context, there are two main categories of options, services options and noncompensatory options. Services options, unsurprisingly, are options to acquire partnership interests where the option is received in exchange for services. Noncompensatory options cover the rest of the waterfront. The simplest version of the latter would be partnership analog to normal options found outside the partnership context: the option holder pays the partnership an option premium to acquire an option …

This essay posits that many federal environmental laws were adopted for the wrong rea- sons. Further, it suggests that environmental protections could be improved if more policy decisions were left in the hands of state and local governments.
The Police Powers: A Pretext For Protectionism?, David M. Nelson
The Police Powers: A Pretext For Protectionism?, David M. Nelson
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
The first part of this note will define administrative and technical regulations and discuss recent trends toward these regulations in the European Community. The second part will concentrate on protectionism and analyze the negative effects of protectionism on consumers and producers. This part will set forth four arguments against protectionism. These four rationales can be divided into: (1) economic rationale; (2) retaliation rationale; (3) legitimacy of international law; and (4) purpose of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Part three will examine the current legal atmosphere surrounding health and safety regulations. This part will examine the Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary …
