Copyright Laws and the Protection of the Music Industry
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages.
Because of the latest technological developments of the internet,
computers, and other types of equipment, the protection of music
by copyright law is becoming extremely tenuous. Now able to
download virtually any song they want, teenagers and adults alike
are copying not only single songs but entire albums from the
internet - all for free, which means no payments to the record
labels and no royalties for the musicians. Bibliography lists 6
sources.

Copyright: Legal Meaning for Business
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing copyright law’s implications for business and innovation. Copyright law dates from the earliest days of the United States. It is the right of the creator of a work to benefit and profit from that work for a specific length of time, after which it reverts to the public domain where individuals can use the information contained in at will. The concept of entering the public domain is as important as the concept of protection. Eldred v. Ashcroft holds promise of redirecting the path that copyright protection now travels, and the Supreme Court decision due July 2003 will carry immense implication for business. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Court Debate: Constrained Versus Dynamic
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The extent to which courts have the ability to impart significant changes upon existing laws is bound by two important elements: constrained and dynamic perspectives. From the constrained viewpoint, courts are quite limited in their collective strength to modify legislature due to constitutional limitations, lack of judicial independence and insufficiency of implementation powers. In contrast, the dynamic point of view reflects the belief that "courts are free from electoral constraints and institutional arrangements that stymie change. Uniquely situated, courts have the capacity to act where other institutions are politically unwilling or structurally unable to proceed" (Rosenberg, 1991, p. PG). The writer discusses constrained versus dynamic court as they relate to doctor-assisted suicide. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Court of Equity and Court of Law
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses a
fictional circumstance in which two landowners with adjoining
commercial property find that one has inadvertently built a
commercial building on his property that actually extends into
the other landowner’s property. Because of the extension, the
second property holder does not have a lot big enough to build
his own commercial building. The lawyer for the first party is
seeking relief in a court of law knowing that remedies at law are
more stringent than in a court of equity. The second attorney is
seeking assistance to proceed in a court of equity. The
differences between “equity” and “law” are discussed and
different arguments presented. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Courtroom Camera: Legal And Ethical Implications
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. With all the deception and ridicule surrounding the American judicial system, it would seem a good idea to open up the courtrooms across the country to show in intricate detail just how the process is achieved. After all, both the public and the system itself stand to learn quite a bit from televised trials. From a taxpayer's point of view, people have every right to know what is happening inside the very courtrooms their tax dollars furnish. Supporters of cameras contend that each citizen should have the option of seeing just what their money is paying for, as well as be privy to every minute detail that may not otherwise make it into a reporter's account of the trial. However, the question that comes immediately to the minds of many critics when the issue of courtroom cameras is broached, is what actual purpose do they serve by being there? Bibliography lists 10 sources.
