Location:

Call #:
QA76.76.C69 A35 2011
Publisher:
MIT Press,
Government agencies and public organizations often consider adopting open source software (OSS) for reasons of transparency, cost, citizen access, and greater efficiency in communication and delivering services. Adopting Open Source Software offers five richly detailed real-world case studies of OSS adoption by public organizations. The authors analyze the cases and develop an overarching, conceptual framework to clarify the various enablers and inhibitors of OSS adoption in the public sector. The book provides a useful resource for policymakers, practitioners, and academics.The five cases of OSS adoption include a hospital in Ireland; an IT consortium serving all the municipalities of the province of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy; schools and public offices in the Extremadura region of Spain; the Massachusetts state government's open standards policy in the United States; and the ICT department of the Italian Chamber of Deputies. The book provides a comparative analysis of these cases around the issues of motivation, strategies, technologies, economic and social aspects, and the implications for theory and practice.

Confidentiality, transparency, and the U.S. civil justice system / edited by Joseph W. Doherty, Robert T. Reville, Laura Zakaras.
Location:
lax
Call #:
KF8700 .C658 2012
Publisher:
Oxford University Press,
American law was founded on the principle of an open court, where the general public could observe judicial proceedings and report to others on the outcomes. In recent decades, however, civil disputes have been increasingly resolved out of court, with the outcomes of the disputes kept secret. While it is widely acknowledged that confidential handling of disputes has advantages, these trends reduce the transparency of the entire civil justice system. This collection of articles considers whether reversing this trend should be a public policy objective. With special attention to modern mass litigation, leading legal scholars provide empirical, nonpartisan, and multidisciplinary analyses, case studies, and novel prescriptions for reform of various aspects of the system.

Copyright and the challenge of the new / editors, Brad Sherman, Leanne Wiseman.
Location:
lax
Call #:
K1420.5 .C672 2012
Publisher:
Kluwer Law International ; Sold and distributed in North, Central and South America by Aspen Publishers,
Copyright is not, as is often thought, something that is periodically extended to cover a new field or medium; rather, copyright redefines itself whenever its efficacy is challenged. While many factors have contributed to this process, the most consistent has been the challenges created by new technologies. The contributing authors build upon this insight to show that copyright law is, and has always been, a creature of technology. Each chapter focuses on a specific technology or group of technologies photography, telegraphy, the phonogram, radio, film, the photocopier, the tape player, television, and computer programs emphasizing the changes that each technology instigated and the challenges and opportunities it created. Perhaps the most profound insight of this extraordinary book is the authors claim ably supported in a series of intriguing chapters that the way the law responds and reacts to new technologies is always mediated by the political, social, economic, and cultural environment in which the interaction occurs.

Cultural heritage, cultural rights, cultural diversity : new developments in international law / edited by Silvia Borelli and Federico Lenzerini.
Location:

Call #:
K3791 .C84 2012
Publisher:
Martinus Nijhoff Publishers,
Cultural Heritage, Cultural Rights, Cultural Diversity: New Developments in International Law explores the recent evolution of cultural heritage law which has resulted in the emergence of a new international conscience, rooted in the awareness that cultural heritage represents a holistic notion strongly connected with the identity of peoples as well with individual and collective human rights. Leading international scholars examine the new challenges determined by that evolution, reaching beyond only tangible artistic and monumental expression and paying particular attention to the linkages between cultural heritage, cultural diversity and human rights. As such, Cultural Heritage, Cultural Rights, Cultural Diversity: New Developments in International Law offers a comprehensive and original overview of how the international approach to culture has evolved from a sovereignty-based idea of cultural property to a perception which emphasises the human dimension of cultural heritage.

Exclusions from patentability : how far has the European Patent Office eroded boundaries? / Sigrid Sterckx and Julian Cockbain.
Location:
lax
Call #:
KJC2725 .S74 2012
Publisher:
Exclusions from Patentability reviews the history of the adoption of exclusions from patentability under the European Patent Convention since its first conception in 1949 through to its most recent revision. The analysis shows how other intellectual property treaties, such as UPOV, the Strasbourg Patent Convention, PCT, the EU Biotech Directive and TRIPS have affected the framing of the exclusions. Particular attention is given to those exclusions considered the most contentious (computer programmes, discoveries, medical treatments, life forms and agriculture) and those decisions which have been most influential in shaping the approaches by which the exclusions have been interpreted. The 'morality' exclusion and the interpretation of the exclusions are discussed critically and suggestions for coherent interpretation are made.

Fight over digital rights : the politics of copyright and technology / Bill D. Herman.
Location:
lax
Call #:
KF3024.E44 H47 2013
Publisher:
Cambridge University Press,
In the political fight over copyright, Internet advocacy has reshaped the playing field. This was shown most dramatically in the 2012 "SOPA blackout," when the largest online protest in history stopped two copyright bills in their tracks. For those not already familiar with the debate, this protest seemingly came out of nowhere yet was the culmination of an intellectual and political evolution more than a decade in the making. This book examines the debate over digital copyright, from the late 1980s through early 2012, and the new tools of political communication involved in the advocacy around the issue. Drawing on methods from legal studies, political science, and communications, it explores the rise of a coalition seeking more limited copyright, as well as how these early-adopting, technology-savvy policy advocates used online communication to shock the world. It compares key bills, congressional debates, and offline and online media coverage using quantitative and qualitative methods to create a rigorous study for researchers that is also accessible to a general audience.

Call #:
K1519.B54 G49 2012
Publisher:
Cambridge University Press,
What are the normative implications of patenting in the area of personalized medicine? As patents on genes and medical diagnoses have increased over the past decade, this question lies at the intersection of intellectual property theory, identity politics, biomedical ethics and constitutional law. These patents are part of the personalized medicine industry, which develops medical treatments tailored to individuals based on race and other characteristics. This book provides an overview of developments in personalized medicine patenting and suggests policies to best regulate such patents.

Intellectual liberty : natural rights and intellectual property / Hugh Breakey.
Location:
lax
Call #:
K1401 .B735 2012
Publisher:
Ashgate,
This book develops an in-depth philosophical justification for 'user's rights' in the context of Intellectual Property (IP). User's rights are the rights of ordinary people, within bounds, to be able to use works created and written by others; they are the rights that constrain the strength and ambit of IP rights like copyright. The book uses a natural/human rights framework to argue for the cogency and plausibility of user's rights, and advances a novel interpretation of those rights - namely, user's rights as intellectual liberty: the right to inform one's choices by learning about the world.

Intellectual property enforcement : a commentary on the anti-counterfeiting trade agreement (ACTA) / Michael Blakeney.
Location:
lax
Call #:
K1401 .B57 2012
Publisher:
Edward Elgar Pub.,
This important book is the first detailed analytical treatment of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and its impact on intellectual property enforcement. The ACTA had been formulated to deal with the burgeoning growth in the trade in counterfeit and pirate products which was estimated to have increased ten-fold since the promulgation of the TRIPS Agreement in 1994. The book clarifies how the ACTA supplements the enforcement provisions of the TRIPS Agreement, namely by: expanding the reach of border protection to infringing goods in transit; providing greater detail of the implementation of civil enforcement and; providing for the confiscation of the proceeds of intellectual property crimes. As the book illustrates, a significant additional innovation is the introduction of provisions dealing with enforcement of intellectual property rights in the digital environment.

Maritime piracy and the construction of global governance / edited by Michael J. Struett, Jon D. Carlson, and Mark T. Nance.
Location:
lax
Call #:
KZ7212 .M37 2013
Publisher:
Routledge,
In this book, a handpicked group of leading experts in the field of International Relations use maritime piracy as a means to expose the incongruities in our understanding of global governance. Using broadly constructivist approaches to understand international actors’ responses to the challenges created by maritime piracy, the contributors question a number of myths and misconceptions around piracy uncover and analyze the various ways that international law and organizations channel actors’ understandings of maritime piracy and their efforts to respond to it. In doing so, they expose some shaky foundations for IR theorists: how do we conceive of sovereignty and legitimacy when they are delinked from the territorial aspect of the modern nation-state? What happens to prospects for cooperation when we get to the nitty-gritty questions of practice related to paying for trials, imprisoning and maintaining captured pirates, bearing the burden of policing sea-lanes, or even determining what constitutes a pirate? Does anyone have a monopoly on the legitimate use of force at sea, and how is that legitimacy constructed?

K1401 .N48 2012
Publisher:
Cambridge University Press,
Are intellectual property rights a threat to autonomy, global justice, indigenous rights, access to lifesaving knowledge and medicines? The essays in this volume examine the justification of patents, copyrights and trademarks in light of the political and moral controversy over TRIPS (the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights). Written by a distinguished international group of experts, this book draws on the latest philosophical work on autonomy, equality, property ownership and human rights in order to explore the moral, political and economic implications of property rights in ideas. Written with an interdisciplinary audience in mind, these essays introduce readers to the latest debates in the philosophy of intellectual property, whether their interests are in the restrictions that copyright places on the reproduction of music and printed words or in the morality and legality of patenting human genes, essential medicines or traditional knowledge.

Nonprofit organizations and the intellectual commons / Jyh-An Lee.
Location:
lax
Call #:
K1401 .L44 2012
Publisher:
Edward Elgar,
Over the past twenty years, a number of nonprofit organizations (NPOs), such as Creative Commons, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and the Free Software Foundation have laid essential building blocks for intellectual-commons as a social movement. Through a detailed description of these NPOs and a series of in-depth interviews with their officials, this book demonstrates that NPOs have provided the social structures that are necessary to support the production of intellectual commons. By illustrating NPOs' role in shaping the commons realm, this book provides a new lens through which to understand the intellectual-commons environment. Protecting intellectual commons has been one of the most important goals of recent innovation and information policies. This book focuses on the NPOs that occupy an increasingly critical and visible position in the intellectual-commons environment in recent years. This detailed study will appeal to academics in intellectual property and internet law, nonprofit organizations, academics and professionals, and those involved in the Free Culture and Open Source Software Movement.

Private copying / Stavroula Karapapa.
Location:
lax
Call #:
KJE2655 .K37 2012
Publisher:
Routledge,
This book offers an original analysis of private copying and determines its actual scope as an area of end-user freedom. The basis of this examination is Article 5(2)(b) of the Copyright Directive. Despite the fact that copying for private and non-commercial use is permitted by virtue of this article and the national laws that implemented it, there is no mandate that this privilege should not be technologically or contractually restricted. Because the legal nature of private copying is not settled, users may consider that they have a ‘right’ to private copying, whereas rightholders are in position to prohibit the exercise of this ‘right’. With digital technology and the internet, this tension has become prominent: the conceptual contours of permissible private copying, namely the private and non-commercial character of the use, do not translate well, and tend to be less clear in the digital context.

Error(12001)
Gebreselassie (Aarhus U., Denmark) offers an African perspective on the legal challenges associated with sustainable plant cultivation and harvesting practices, looking especially at intellectual property laws related to plant innovations, and also discussing environmental and agricultural law. The author uses examples of Ethiopian plants that are grown in Africa and used in European countries, such as teff, to examine sustainability challenges connected to international, regional, and national laws regulating plants. He recommends that discussion on requirements for disclosure of origin and proof of access to plants under material transfer agreements should be held within the context of plant variety protection laws such as the UPOV Conventions. The book's readership includes lawyers, researchers, policymakers, and organizations working on environmental and agricultural issues.

Publisher:
University of Chicago Press,
Drawing on over two hundred interviews, Mitu Gulati and Robert E. Scott provide an eye-opening account of the institutional pressures on attorneys who prepare contracts that undergird huge financial deals. A contract of this sort consists mostly of boilerplate terms, that is, clauses copied from prior deals. The authors insightfully explore why most lawyers engage in this sort of herd behavior, but also why they respect the few who stray from the herd. A landmark study of the folkways of high-powered transactional lawyers.

Transnational culture in the Internet age / edited by Sean A. Pager, Adam Candeub.
Location:
lax
Call #:
K564.C6 T73 2012
Publisher:
Edward Elgar,
Digital technology has transformed global culture, connecting and empowering users on a hitherto unknown scale. Existing paradigms from intellectual property rights to cultural diversity and telecommunications regulation seem increasingly obsolete, confounding policymakers and provoking wide-ranging debate. Transnational Culture in the Internet Age draws on a range of disciplines to examine new approaches to regulating communications and cultural production. The insightful contributions shed new light on insufficiently examined issues and highlight connections that cut across the many different domains in which such regulations operate. Building upon the framework presented by David Post – one of the first and most prominent scholars of cyber law and a contributor to this volume – the authors address the implications and economics of the Internet's astronomical scale, jurisdiction and enforcement of the web as it relates to topics including libel tourism and threats to free speech, and the power of global communication to dissolve and recreate identities.
