Uncle Sam, Can You Please Sing Us A "Choruss"?, Brody Ehrlich

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The rise of peer-to-peer file-sharing platforms like Napster fundamentally disrupted the music industry, leading to a sharp decline in sales and prompting legal battles over copyright infringement. The note argues that traditional legal and market-based strategies to combat piracy have largely failed, necessitating a revised copyright system that balances industry interests with consumer behavior. It proposes a compulsory licensing model, inspired by the Choruss experiment, to legalize and monetize file sharing while ensuring fair compensation for rights holders.

The Status Of Teachers Unions: Are Rumors Of Their Demise Exaggerated?, Charles J. Russo

Educational Leadership Faculty Publications

Recent legislation raised questions about the status of teachers unions and public-sector collective bargaining. Although the changes in Florida, Idaho, and Tennessee occurred with a minimum of disruption, the same was not true in Ohio and Wisconsin.
