Top-level domain

and Uzi Nissan having purchased the rights to the domain names in a timely manner and without hindrance at the time of purchase, the court’s rulings were generally fair. Because of the ACPA, Nissan Motor Company (NMC) had a valid case against Nissan Computer Corp. (NCC). Due to timely purchasing of domains reflecting a family name, Uzi Nissan deserved to win the case. However, I believe it was unfair to say that Mr. Nissan was unable to use the domain for business transactions. Our entire…

What Is Fair Use? In its most general sense, a fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without permission from the copyright owner. In other words, fair use is a defense against a claim of copyright infringement. If your use qualifies as a fair use, then it would not be considered an infringement. So what is a “transformative” use? If this definition…

Does Barbro have the right of Re-sale ? In the Usedsoft case the CJEU held that the grant of an unlimited license together with the possibility to download a copy of a computer program is tantamount to a first sale, which exhausts the right of distribution, so that a further resale of that copy cannot be opposed by the right holder in this case ,Network Inc . This is to mean that Barbro would enjoy the benefits of being part of a first sale contract and as such she can resell the albums…

The Kelo majority allowed the takings when it held that economic development qualifies as a public use under the federal Constitution. The majority also expressed its deference to legislature on the question of what constitutes a public use. By comparing precedent, Justice Stevens of the majority found that New London's plan served the “valid public purpose of economic development, including new jobs and increased tax revenues." (Kelo v. City of New London, Majority Opinion, 13). Justice Stevens…

Through the years, it has been unclear to many people whether or not eminent domain has been used correctly. Many people disagree, but those are the people who have been affected by it directly.

The Fifth Amendment states that the government has the right to take private property if they can prove that the property is going to be used for public use…

the idea that if an idea became part of the public domain, it would become obsolete and lose most, if not all, of its value and potential. In this way, public domain is seen as the “place where ideas go to die”. Conversely, one of the argument for shorter copyrights is based around the notion that copyright laws are already too invasive and/or interminable. This view would likely be taken by someone who held belief in the power of public domain, rather than in its hindrance. Longer copyrights is…

A true friend accepts who you are but also helps you become who you are supposed to be. The definition of a true friend has changed over time. “The Japanese have a term, Kenzoku, which translated means “family”. The connotation suggests a bond between people who’ve made a similar commitment and share a similar destiny. It implies the presence of the deepest connection of friendship, of lives lived as comrades from the distant past.” (Lickerman, Alex. “The True Meaning of Friendship.” Psychology…

highly on the willows because they use them for dams and lodges. Next, the beavers provide a pond to many reptiles and amphibians. In return this increases many of different animals up and down the trophic levels. An ecosystem will become less diverse as there are changes from different trophic levels, a term called trophic cascades will begin to occur as the apex predator is eliminated from an ecosystem. With the willows being gone there is not a place for other small animals to live and eat…
