From the supplier: A Clinton administration proposal would give database developers legal recourse against those who use information in the database in such a way that it competes with the developer’s business interests. This proposal creates a property right that runs counter to the ‘fair use’ doctrine, which allows portions of copyrighted materials to be used for purposes such as news reporting. The proposal would restrict the dissemination of information.

From the supplier: The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) will appeal an Oct. 3, 1996, US District Court ruling that found that its codes and formulas for workers’ compensation rate filings do not have copyright protection. The NCCI sued former VPs Michael Camilleri and Robert Hilton, Industrial Data Resources, and the Adorno and Zeder law firm for violating statistical manual copyrights which had been filed in 1979. The ruling found that the manuals are in the public domain.

Product Description
Three major articles.

Journal of the Patent and Trademark Office Society

Product Description
International Copyright Law and Policy deals comprehensively with the major treaties and conventions covering the law of international copyright and neighboring rights. It explains the complex legal, economic and political background to the treaties and their contents, and how they inter-relate. There is also practical commercial discussion of how copyright and neighboring rights are treated in international trade measures such as GATT, WTO, NAFTA, and bilateral and unilateral treaties, with a section devoted to how unilateral trade measures are applied by the USA in particular. There is also some discussion of how international copyright law and neighboring rights may develop in the future.

International Copyright Law and Policy

Product Description
The questions relating to copyright belong naturally to the sphere of political economy. They have to do with the laws governing production, and with the principles regulating supply and demand; and they are directly dependent upon a due determining of the proper functions of legislation, and of the relations which legislation, having for its end the welfare of the community as a whole, ought to bear towards production and trade.

As students of economic science, we recognize the fact that, in all its phases, it is in reality based upon two or three very simple propositions, such as:

Two plus two make four.

Two from one you can’t.

That which a man has created by his own labor is his own, to do what he will with, subject only to his proportionate contribution to the cost of carrying on the organization of the community under the protection of which his labor has been accomplished, and to the single limitation that the results of his labor shall not be used to the detriment of his fellow-men.

It is not in the power of legislators to make or to modify the laws of trade; it is their business to act in accordance with these laws.

Economic science is, then, but the systematizing, on the basis of a few generally accepted principles, of the relations of men as regards their labor and the results of their labor, namely, their property. There is therefore an essential connection between the systems governing all these relations, however varied they may be. Soundness of thought in regard to one group of them leads to soundness of thought about the others.

Product Description
In 1998, copyright lobbyists succeeded in persuading Congress to enact laws greatly expanding copyright owners’ control over individuals’ private uses of their works. The efforts to enforce these new rights have resulted in highly publicized legal battles between established media, and new upstarts. In this enlightening and well-argued book, law professor Jessica Litman questions whether copyright laws crafted by lawyers and their lobbyists really make sense for the vast majority of us. Should every interaction between ordinary consumers and copyright-protected works be restricted by law? Is it practical to enforce such laws, or expect consumers to obey them? What are the effects of such laws on the exchange of information in a free society? Litman’s critique exposes the 1998 copyright law as an incoherent patchwork. She argues for reforms that reflect common sense and the way people actually behave in their daily digital interactions. This paperback edition includes an afterword that comments on recent developments, such as the end of the Napster story, the rise of peer-to-peer file sharing, the escalation of a full-fledged copyright war, the filing of lawsuits against thousands of individuals, and the June 2005 Supreme Court decision in the Grokster case.
