Authentic Authorship, Alina Ng

Alina Ng

Copyright laws protect original works of authorship, but ownership rights in literary and artistic works need not necessarily reside with the author or creator of the work. By statutory provision, the copyright owner, and not the author, possesses the exclusive rights to control the reproduction, distribution, public performances, and the making of derivatives. It is interesting to note the apparent disconnect between the exclusive rights protecting the subject matter of authorship and the author, as the creator, of a work of authorship. This disconnect is, arguably, attributable to the influence of law and economics, and American legal realism, on copyright …

The Idea Of A Use Right, Alina Ng

Alina Ng

The law of nuisance requires property law as a legal institution to balance and manage the utility of competing land use. When an intentional invasion of land creates an unreasonable and substantial interference with the use of another person’s land, the nuisance may be enjoined by law. This enquiry requires a consideration of whether the social utility of the tort-feasor’s conduct outweighs its social costs, and provides the courts with a legal strategy to manage conflicting resource uses. Copyright jurisprudence similarly requires management of society’s use of information as a resource for creativity and progress. The legal strategy employed to …

Metodologia E Epistemologia Da Análise Econômica Do Direito, Ivo T. Gico Jr.

Ivo Teixeira Gico Jr.

Trata-se de uma contextualização da Análise Econômica do Direito – AED dentro da epistemologia jurídica em um contexto civilista.

When Users Are Authors: Authorship In The Age Of Digital Media, Alina Ng

Alina Ng

This Article explores what authorship and creative production means in the digital age. Notions of the author as the creator of the work provided a point of reference for recognizing ownership rights in literary and artistic works in conventional copyright jurisprudence. The role of the author, as the creator and producer of a work, has been seen as distinct and separate from that of the publisher and user. Copyright laws and customary norms protect the author’s rights in his creation to provide the incentive to create and allow him to appropriate the social value generated by his creativity as recognition …
