Written on the occasion of copyright's 300th anniversary, John
Tehranian's Infringement Nation presents an engaging and accessible
analysis of the history and evolution of copyright law and its
profound impact on the lives of ordinary individuals in the
twenty-first century. Organized around the trope of the individual
in five different copyright-related contexts - as an infringer,
transformer, pure user, creator and reformer - the book charts the
changing contours of our copyright regime and assesses its vitality
in the digital age. In the process, Tehranian questions some of our
most basic assumptions about copyright law by highlighting the
unseemly amount of infringement liability an average person rings
up in a single day, the counterintuitive role of the fair use
doctrine in radically expanding the copyright monopoly, the
important expressive interests at play in even the unauthorized use
of copyright works, the surprisingly low level of protection that
American copyright law grants many creators, and the broader
political import of copyright law on the exertion of social
regulation and control.
Law is a radical and accessible look at the English legal system. It aims to set out a highly critical examination of the English legal system and legal profession. The politicised nature of the critique distinguishes the book from others and provides an alternative approach currently lacking from legal publications. Its aims are: To illustrate the central role of money in the English legal system. To explain the ongoing presence of class justice. To revisit dissenting voices of English law. To discuss law as an industry. To continue to emphasise the illegality of the Iraq war. To argue for the demystification of English legal rules. To put forward realistic suggestions for alternative legal practice.
This book is for anyone in middle or old age (or anyone caring for others of similar age). For the first time, in one publication, the reader is taken through all the essential aspects which arise when considering the onset of one's later years, and eventual death. It explains, in easy lay terms, the important legal, financial, and personal considerations which demand attention when old age beckons, and offers simple and appropriate means of dealing with them - from Making a Will through to financing and planning a Funeral. LifeHolder is backed up by a supporting website - www.lifeholder.co.uk. Together these make for a practical and valuable reference point.
Regsalmanak: 100 stories uit ons regserfenis is ’n keur uit die rubriek Regsalmanak wat Gustaf Pienaar sedert 2012 op gereelde grondslag vir LitNet lewer. Die 12 hoofstukke se titels is die 12 maande van die jaar, en elke maand het datumverwante verhale, telkens met ’n regsinhoud. Pienaar put uit gepubliseerde hofverslae vir hierdie vermaaklike dog leersame verhale. Regter Burton Fourie, wat die voorwoord tot die boek skryf, beskryf Regsalmanak as volg: “Vir almal – jonk en oud – behoort hierdie publikasie van groot waarde te wees, veral om die implementering van regsbeginsels op praktiese vlak te ervaar. In hierdie opsig is die skrywer werklik ’n meester. Regsbeginsels word deur die gebruik van keurige Afrikaans verduidelik en toegepas. Daardeur word soms ingewikkelde regsbegrippe vir almal toeganklik gemaak. Derhalwe is die werk ’n hoogs genotvolle reis deur ons regsgeskiedenis.”

A volume in Educational Policy and Law Series Editors: Kevin G. Welner and Wendy C. Chi, University of Colorado at Boulder Educational policy controversies in the United States invariably implicate legal issues. Policy debates about testing and school choice, for example, cannot be disentangled from legal rights and mandates. The same is true for issues such as funding, campus safety, speech and religion rights, as well as the teaching of immigrant students. Written for a general audience, this new twelve-chapter book explores these compelling educational policy issues through that legal lens, building an understanding of both law and policy. The book's editors are Kevin Welner, associate professor of educational policy at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and Wendy Chi, a doctoral candidate at Boulder. Both Welner and Chi are lawyers as well as educational scholars.

_____________ THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER LONGLISTED FOR THE CWA ALCS GOLD DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION _____________ 'John le Carre demystified the intelligence services; Higgins has demystified intelligence gathering itself' - Financial Times 'Uplifting . . . Riveting . . . What will fire people through these pages, gripped, is the focused, and extraordinary investigations that Bellingcat runs . . . Each runs as if the concluding chapter of a Holmesian whodunit' - Telegraph 'We Are Bellingcat is Higgins's gripping account of how he reinvented reporting for the internet age . . . A manifesto for optimism in a dark age' - Luke Harding, Observer _____________ How did a collective of self-taught internet sleuths end up solving some of the biggest crimes of our time? Bellingcat, the home-grown investigative unit, is redefining the way we think about news, politics and the digital future. Here, their founder - a high-school dropout on a kitchen laptop - tells the story of how they created a whole new category of information-gathering, galvanising citizen journalists across the globe to expose war crimes and pick apart disinformation, using just their computers. From the downing of Malaysia Flight 17 over the Ukraine to the sourcing of weapons in the Syrian Civil War and the identification of the Salisbury poisoners, We Are Bellingcat digs deep into some of Bellingcat's most successful investigations. It explores the most cutting-edge tools for analysing data, from virtual-reality software that can build photorealistic 3D models of a crime scene, to apps that can identify exactly what time of day a photograph was taken. In our age of uncertain truths, Bellingcat is what the world needs right now - an intelligence agency by the people, for the people.
It may be said that the beauty of art comes from the struggle that is involved in creating it: struggle to hear the voice, struggle to understand the voice, struggle to express or articulate the voice, struggle to let others hear the voice, and struggle to protect what has been expressed. This book is about the last struggle--to legally protect what has been expressed by appreciating the struggle that has come before. The Legal and Moral Rights of All Artists is a clear, jargon-free explanation of the crucial concepts every artist needs to know, such as copyright, trademark, work-for-hire and other contract issues, as well as the all-important doctrine of moral rights. Drawing on the historical perspective of the artist as the core element of any created work, this book explains the protection available to artists, not only for their works but also for their vision, integrity, and reputation. Filled with anecdotes and practical advice, this book will be an important resource for everyone involved in the creative process. |
