Introduction

The western civilization has been fueled by the technological inventions that have flooded commodities in the market since mid-18th century. The Technological vibrancy of the west has been influenced by laws that seek to protect the intellectual property rights of the inventors and scientists. The British Statute of Anne 1710 was the first recorded copyright law in the world; it gave exclusive ownership rights to printers of books. The law prohibited the copying of books by other printers. With the development of modern technology the scope has been extended to motion pictures, maps and sound recording. Copyright laws have ...

Introduction

In a landmark case, the judges concluded that for the success of a modern liberal nation, there must be a constitutional protection that ensures that the constitution promotes free expression “by establishing a marketable right to the use of one's expression, copyright supplies and the economic incentive to create and disseminate ideas”. Thus, by implication, copyright is supposed to be “an engine of free expression”.
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the accuracy of the claim that copyright is an engine of free expression. The paper will critically assess the original position taken on copyright by the ...

Abstract

The associated issues of copyright protection and digital rights management are pressing ones these days. Particularly for the music industry, there is a growing trend among consumers to download music illegally via torrents without giving a second thought to the ethics or legally of their actions.

A Copyright is a way for a person to possess intellectual profit of his/her own creation. According to the United States copyright office, “It is a principle of American law that an author of a work may reap the fruits of his or her intellectual creativity for a limited period of time. “ (Copyright , 2013, p. 47). Copyright is an enshrined institution in the United States, and also throughout the world. Many argue that without the institution and supporting laws of copyrights, that artists, musicians, writers, creators, etc., would stop producing their work since it would cease to represent a monetary gain. While there are plenty ...

Question #1

An interesting Act passed by the United States House of Congress is the Copyright Term Extension Act. The Copyright Term Extension Act was signed into law on October 27, 1998. The law was an amendment to the 1978 Copyright Act of the United States. The amendment increased the time a literary work or composition can be kept from the public domain. The first copyright law to be signed in the United States only kept a literary work from the public domain for 14 years. However, this number has steadily increased to more than a century, depending on the day of the composition.

A core principle of copyright is that it offers protection to how ideas are expressed and not the ideas themselves. This featured very prominently at a high profile court in the United Kingdom in April 2006. The contention was on Dan Brown’s world bestseller, The Da Vinci Code. This case is very significant for copyright law. The reason for this is because the lawyers representing Baigent and Leigh attempted to propose that there could be non-literal copying of literary work. They did not succeed with this proposition. Previously, there has been success in the application of the non-literal argument, ...

According to the United States Copyright Law, all “original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression” have the right to be copyright protected (n.d, Section 102). However, although the law is straightforward, its application is rather complex, especially nowadays when libraries are getting digitized without acquiring permission from the authors of the books, which consists a copyright violation (Besek, 2003).
A preliminary analysis conducted by the United States Copyright Office, in 2011, deals with the Legal Issues in Mass Digitization and reports that creating a universal digital library could as well be beneficial to both parties, users ...

1. Copyright is not optimized to foster musical creativity. Discuss this statement with reference to examples.
The mechanism of copyright control can pose significant threat to innovation and creativity in the music industry, because the copyright can fail to sufficiently recognize the relevance of uses of the musical piece as a creative force. Innovation in music, for example, has been performed in many scenarios by creators taking the creative risks by using existing materials in such a manner that does not fit effectively within the assumptions of the dominant copyright about creativity. Creators that operate within such paradigms of ...

Introduction

The government has the sole responsibility and duty of protecting its citizens and their properties whether tangible or intangible. In order to achieve this goal, the government through the legislature and judiciary formulates and enacts laws that aim at maintaining social order, status quo and protecting intellectual property rights of artists and inventors. Enactment of intellectual property laws is not a new phenomenon in United States because it has existed for many years. This fact affirms that the federal government has pledged its commitment and dedication in protecting intellectual property of artists and inventors in the country. Consequently, the government ...

Music permeates our day to day lives. From our iPods and iPads, to elevators and trains, to the more obvious venues such as radio stations and bars, music has so seeped into the consciousness of contemporary society that it has become hard to imagine a life without it. As with any other crucial element in society, however, music in modern civilization has also been regulated by the long arm of the law. So much so that conflicts and controversies so often arise within the legal dimension of musical endeavor. In recent memory, much of the headlines in popular magazines have ...

Introduction

Objective of the Discussion
One of the most renowned marketing gurus Phillip Kotler argues that innovation is the most critical aspect of a successful business nowadays (Burk & Lemley, 2009). Practically all known markets are oversaturated with offers, and the only way to succeed is by inventing new products and services or by changing the business and the marketing methods. Realizing that applying traditional cost-cutting methods of reducing overheads and attracting the new customers is no longer effective, the business community becomes focused on considering innovative approaches as the only effective method of keeping afloat and expanding the market shares ( ...

The concern for the rights of Aboriginal artists for their copyrights has been brewing overtime. Aborigines in Australia feel excluded in term of protection for their indigenous cultural heritage as well as intellectual property. However, this debate is as alive as before. In one stance, the issue came up for debate in the famous 1997 paper commissioned by Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Commission titled “ Our Culture, Our future”. Before venturing into the debate of the copyright of the Australian Aboriginal rights, it is prudent to understand meaning of Aboriginal art (Arts Law Centre of Australia).

There are two main reasons; intellectual property rights are implanted. First to provide with legal expression of economic and moral right of the owner of the creation and the right of the public to access the product of creators.

Lessig debate is discussing on copyright. He says, copyright regulation denies majority of the people from accessing information. The law permits only a small portion of the population to access this information. According to him, scientific information on the internet is restricted to professors and university students in a university setting. Lessig says that the accessibility of information should be permitted to all. The right to personal creativity should be protected but when the information is not accessible to people it does not mean a thing. His concern is on science and not music.

Lessig proposes the creation of blue-sky commission that ...

An Exception to Copyright Law

Haag & Cummings (2008 p. 342) define copyright as “the legal protection afforded an expression of an idea, such as a song, video game, and some types of proprietary documents”. Although they state that copyright law protects authorship and that infringing that copyright is an illegal act, they also advise that there are exceptions to that protection. Generally, those exceptions are covered by the Fair Use Doctrine, permitting use of existing copyrighted material where, for this example, it is used to a limited extent in a teaching environment (p. 342).

Question One

Propertarian approach and the democratic approach are the two comprehensive and opposing approaches to copyright. The propertarian approach sees copyright as a physical property and regardless of it being an intellectual asset, it is reflected as being elite and rivalrous. The propertarian approach is part of the blackstonain and applies the same ideologies where there are exceptionality and permanence on property privileges. This method amniotes that author has such rights like the right to dispose of, revise or retrieve any duplicate of his work as it is regarded as an assault on his property. An example of the propertarian ...

Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music (1994) was a case decided by the United States Supreme Court in 2001, and was an extremely important decision regarding copyright fair use.
The case was based on a copyright infringement dispute over the song “Pretty Woman,” written and registered for copyright protection in 1964 by Roy Orbison, and famously associated with the motion picture of the same name. In 1989, the music group 2 Live Crew created a version of “Pretty Woman” which used the title lyrics and the opening instrumental riff of Orbison’s song.

Pirated software is on the rise. With the introduction of the internet and the various technological advances, it is even easier for individuals to illegally copy and use unlicensed software. The Business Software Alliance (BSA) defines software piracy as an “intentional act of an individual or organization to obtain software through illegal means” (BSA, 2014). Pirated software may include copied DVD’s, downloaded materials from the internet, and software installed on multiple computers that was only registered for a single use. All of these acts constitute piracy ...

Under the current laws, copyrights do not necessarily prohibit all copying and replication of the original contents. It gives some exceptions under the fair use doctrine (US CODE). Such a situation has opened loopholes for illegal duplication in the name of fair duplication. The laws therefore, are not adequately formulated. It would be prudent if the doctrine of fair use is amended such that no duplication would be made without the express permission from the creator.
The law alone may not be effective as it has failed with lesser penalties for the convicts of copyrights. The penalty of the ...

In the current digital era, multiple challenges arise as far as copyright is concerned. This is so especially because artistic and intellectual creations are often readily available on the internet, opening them to unauthorized reproduction or use unless they are properly protected (STM 2013). The Copyright Act of Canada outlines the works that are copyrighted, providing that a patent constitutes the right to produce or reproduce in part or whole any piece of artistic or intellectual creation in any form, including performance of music or publishing of unpublished works (Mincov 2013).

Who is Copyright Important To?

The foregoing factors underscore the need for strong copyright laws. ...

Describe the factors to consider when promoting effective communication.

Effective communication takes listening skills. The Manila Bulletin (2010) explains how active listening means getting into the head of who is talking. This means trying to understand his or her point of view about what is being said. Cooper (1997) explains how practicing good listening makes a good tool for communicating because it shows concern for what the other person is saying so if there is need to answer a question then listening gives meaning to what is heard. Then it is possible to analyze the information so it is interpreted correctly. Other parts of communication, according to Craig (1995), Leeds-Hurwitz ( ...

Piracy is defined as the act involving the illegal production of multiple copies of content such as music, movies, and software without permission from the owner (Riley, 2011).

Through the application of cost-benefit analysis in which case individuals evaluate the maximization of benefits through the incurrence of least costs, justifies the need to procure pirated products.

Intellectual Property Rights and Their Practical Use

Intellectual property rights are a combination of civil law governing relations connected with creative activity. At the same time, the civil law does not directly regulate creative activities, because the creative process is beyond the limits of its rules (HG, n.d.). The functions of civil law are the recognition of the authorship of already created results of creative activity, establishing their legal status, moral and material incentives and protection of the rights of authors and other persons, who have copyrights (Cimoli et al., 2014).
Copyright, inventive and the like rights are usually called exclusive rights, i.e., absolute legal rights, ...

They are so refined that they copy the products, the branding, the appearance of the physical retail outlets, and even the service. This has brought the concept ...

In Jack Nicas’s Wall Street Journal article, “Google Wins Java Copyright Case Against Oracle”, he explains that the software giant, Google, owned by Alphabet, Inc. prevailed in a lawsuit initiated by Oracle (Nicas).

With the introduction of social networks and internet technologies that enable people to connect and share ideas, there are legislations that have been introduced that are geared at enabling a safe environment.
