Ein Europaisches Wahrnehmungsrecht entsteht. Das Europaische Parlament hat dazu in einer Entschliessung vom Januar 2004 Stellung genommen. Die Kommission hat nun, nachdem sie zuvor im April 2004 weitergehende Angleichungsplane angekundigt hatte, kurzfristig im Oktober 2005 eine Empfehlung fur den Bereich der Online-Musikdienste verabschiedet. Die Entwicklung ist im Fluss. Sie bedarf einer breiten und tiefgehenden Eroerterung. Dabei sind die Vorgaben des Primarrechts und des Internationalen Urheberrechts ebenso zu berucksichtigen wie Wahrnehmungsrecht und Wahrnehmungspraxis der Mitgliedstaaten. Die hier nebst Materialien veroeffentlichten Beitrage zur INTERGU-Tagung 2005 an der Europa-Universitat Viadrina sollen einen Beitrag zu dieser Diskussion leisten. Auf der Grundlage eines deutsch-polnischen Rechtsvergleichs werden die Grundlagen der gemeinschaftsrechtlichen Rechtsangleichung sowie die Entwicklung der Marktordnung im Bereich der Wahrnehmung von Online-Rechten an Werken der Musik eroertert.

The 2nd edition of "Exercises in The Law of Nations" also seeks to impart case processing skills to students, in addition to the repetition and consolidation of substantive knowledge, because only substantive knowledge AND the ability to correctly use it in case resolution lead to written examination success. The book preliminarily presents the test that is commonly expected in written examinations for responsibility based on the law of nations, and largely follows the structures of the ILC Draft Articles on State Responsibility of 2001 in doing so. The theory thus communicated should be translated in practice by the readers into the subsequent (from now on) 21 exercise tasks of varying degree of difficulty. Written solutions are conducive to self-control. Written literature references, in particular to current developments, simplify the consolidation. An index of important international judicature rounds out the volume.

Urheber von musikalischen Werken koennen ihre Verwertungsrechte und gesetzlichen Vergutungsanspruche aus sachlichen oder auch rechtlichen Grunden z.T. nicht selbst wahrnehmen. Sie bedienen sich daher einer Verwertungsgesellschaft, die ihre Interessen gebundelt gegenuber den Musiknutzern vertritt. Im Bereich der musikalischen Urheberrechte nimmt die GEMA urheberrechtliche Verwertungsrechte und Vergutungsrechte der Rechteinhaber wahr. Die Reichweite ihrer Tatigkeit ergibt sich aus der Rechteubertragung, die im sog. Berechtigungsvertrag erfolgt. Die Verfasserin analysiert die Rechteubertragungen im Berechtigungsvertrag der GEMA umfassend und systematisch. An Hand eines einheitlichen Untersuchungsrahmens, der sich aus den vertragsrechtlichen und urheberrechtlichen Auslegungsgrundsatzen, den Verwertungsrechten des Urheberrechtsgesetzes sowie den wahrnehmungsrechtlichen und kartellrechtlichen Kontrolltatbestanden ergibt, eroertert sie die Vielzahl der Einzelregelung des Berechtigungsvertrags. Ergebnis der Untersuchung ist eine Abgrenzung der Rechte und Anspruche, die auf die GEMA zur kollektiven Wahrnehmung ubertragen werden von denen, die zur individuellen Wahrnehmung bei den Rechteinhabern verbleiben. Diese detaillierte und differenzierte Grenzziehung ist fur alle Beteiligten, Urheber, Nutzer und Verwertungsgesellschaft, von erheblicher praktischer Bedeutung, da die GEMA nur fur die ihr ubertragenen Rechte Lizenzen erteilen kann.

Die groot anders-maak (1964) is die tweede deel van Jan Rabie se reeks prosawerke oor die vroee geskiedenis aan die suidpunt van Afrika, wat onder die algemene titel Bolandia verskyn het. Die eerste deel was Eiland voor Afrika (1964), die derde deel Waar jy sterwe (1966) en die vierde Ark (1977). Toe die eerste wit trekboere die berge tussen die Boland en die Karoo oorgesteek het op soek na nuwe weiding vir hul steeds aangroeiende veetroppe, was dit die begin van die einde vir die onafhanklike leefwyse van die Khoi-Khoi wat so lank die heersers oor die uitgestrekte vlaktes was. Aan die hand van die lotgevalle van die Hottentotvrou Keas, wat die witmense se lewenswyse leer ken en aanvaar het, maar dan probeer om na haar volk terug te gaan en ontdek dat hulle reeds tot ondergang gedoem is, teken Jan Rabie in Die groot anders-maak die sedelike en fisieke verval van 'n trotse ras en eiesoortige lewensvorm wat nie kon staande bly teen die invloede wat van die nuwe, Europese, intrekkers uitgegaan het nie. "Rabie se [Bolandia]-tetralogie [is] een van die deurtastendste verkennings van die Afrikaner se herkoms en identiteit en - veral wat Die groot anders-maak en Waar jy sterwe betref - 'n waardige bydrae tot die "roots"-verkenning in die hedendaagse literatuur"- JC Kannemeyer. "Die hele verwikkeldheid van ons vroee geskiedenis kristalliseer hier. …" - Anna van Zyl, Kriterium. This novel was published in 1964 as part of a series of novels depicting the early history of Southern Africa, and was regarded as Rabie's best novel. When the first white farmers crossed the mountains from the Boland into the Karoo it was the beginning of the end for the Khoikhoi people who had lived in these parts for so long. This is the poignant story of the decline of a once proud race.

Once again the Dwarsberg farmers gather in Jurie Steyn's voorkamer to discuss some of the salient historical relating to an item of local gossip. Whether the topic is go-slow strikes, lost cities, mothers-in-law or the end of the world, Gysbert van Tonder, Chris Welman, At Naude and the others would far rather discuss it than plough their lands.

Reimagines photography through the long history of ideas of expression The end of the nineteenth century saw massive developments and innovations in photography at a time when the forces of Western modernity—industrialization, racialization, and capitalism—were quickly reshaping the world. The Unintended slows down the moment in which the technology of photography seemed to speed itself—and so the history of racial capitalism—up. It follows the substantial shifts in the markets, mediums, and forms of photography during a legally murky period at the end of the nineteenth century. Monica Huerta traces the subtle and paradoxical ways legal thinking through photographic lenses reinscribed a particular aesthetics of whiteness in the very conceptions of property ownership. The book pulls together an archive that encompasses the histories of performance and portraiture alongside the legal, pursuing the logics by which property rights involving photographs are affirmed (or denied) in precedent-setting court cases and legal texts. Emphasizing the making of “expression� into property to focus our attention on the failures of control that cameras do not invent, but rather put new emphasis on, this book argues that designations of control’s absence are central to the practice and idea of property-making. The Unintended proposes that tracking and analyzing the sensed horizons of intention, control, autonomy, will, and volition offers another way into understanding how white supremacy functions. Ultimately, its unique historical reading practice offers a historically-specific vantage on the everyday workings of racial capitalism and the inheritances of white supremacy that structure so much of our lives.

Traditionally, courts adjudicate fundamental rights cases by applying substantive tests of reasonableness or proportionality. Increasingly, however, European courts are also expressly taking account of the quality of the procedure that has led up to a fundamental rights interference. Yet this procedural review is far from uncontroversial. There still is a lack of clarity as to what 'procedural review' really means, what its potential for judicial decision-making is, how it relates and should relate to substantive review, and what its limitations are. Featuring contributions from experts in the field, this book is the first in-depth study into procedural review, considering the theoretical and conceptual issues at play, as well as the applicability of procedural review in different legal systems. It will therefore be of great importance to scholars and practitioners interested in fundamental rights adjudication in Europe, judicial reasoning and procedural justice.

Taking a unique and critical approach to the study of Public Law, this book explores the main topics in UK Public Law from a range of underexplored perspectives and amplifies the voices of scholars who are underrepresented in the field.

Including insights from a diverse list of contributors, the book: • Enriches students’ understanding of the dynamics that emerge within public law; • Highlights the impact of historical and societal inequities on public law norms; • Demonstrates the ways in which those norms may impact minorities and perpetuate inequalities. With most chapters written by underrepresented or minoritised persons in the field, this text offers students a critical, rich, and insightful approach to public law.
