In the near future, artificial intelligence (AI) will be able to create works of art, music, and literature that are indistinguishable from those created by humans. This raises a number of questions about copyright law. If AI can create original works, who owns the copyright to those works? Can AI be held liable for copyright infringement? What are the implications of AI for the future of creativity? In this book, Richard Aragon explores these questions and more. He argues that the traditional concept of copyright is no longer adequate to deal with the challenges posed by AI. He proposes a new approach to copyright law that would protect the rights of both humans and AI. The Copyright Conundrum is a thought-provoking book that will challenge your assumptions about copyright law and the future of creativity. It is essential reading for anyone who is interested in the intersection of AI and law. Here are some of the key points that are discussed in the book: The challenges posed by AI for copyright law. The need for a new approach to copyright law that protects the rights of both humans and AI. The potential impact of AI on the future of creativity. The ethical implications of granting AI copyright protection. The Copyright Conundrum is a timely and important book that will help us to think about the future of copyright law in a rapidly changing world.

There exists a legal gulf separating copyright from industrial design in that these laws appear to be protecting different kinds of subject matter. While copyright law protects pure artistic works such as paintings and sculptures, design law purports to protect artistic works that are industrially applied to mass-produced goods. Copyright law refuses to protect designs that are applied to mass-produced goods and this is the line separating copyright from design. The normative assumption remains that a sui generis design law effectively protects all designs. This thesis aims to establish that in many cases copyright and design protect similar subject matter and, more importantly, challenges the notion that a piece of art must lose the status of a work, and the designer the status of an author merely because the artistic work has been industrially applied.

[The] Internet phenomenon has ... created an immense conundrum in copyright circles. The problem, starkly stated, if difficult to resolve, is this: if copyright works can easily and speedily be copied, revised, distributed, transmitted or otherwise manipulated in cyberspace, can copyright still perform its legal, social and ethical functions of serving and balancing the interests of its various stakeholders? Can it meet a profoundly new kind of challenge posed by the galloping convergence of computer and telecommunications technologies? Indeed, should we leave it to self-destruct in the face of the onslaught and replace a moribund system with a new legal edifice?

The practice of email forwarding deprives email senders of privacy. Expression meant for only a specific recipient often finds its way into myriad inboxes or onto a public website, exposed for all to see. Simply by clicking the "forward" button, email recipients routinely strip email senders of expressive privacy. The common law condemns such conduct. Beginning over two-hundred-fifty years ago, courts recognized that authors of personal correspondence hold property rights in their expression. Under common-law copyright, authors held a right to control whether their correspondence was published to third parties. This common-law protection of private expression was nearly absolute, immune from any defense of "fair use." Accordingly, the routine practice of email forwarding would violate principles of common-law copyright. The issue of whether common-law copyright today protects email expression turns on whether the Federal Copyright Act preempts common-law copyright. The Copyright Act includes a fair-use defense to infringing uses of unpublished works, and that defense likely applies to email forwarding. A strong argument exists, however, that the Act does not preempt common-law rights of expression which protect privacy. Federal preemption extends only as far as the Constitution permits. According to the Copyright Clause in the Constitution, federal property rights in expression are limited to rights that forward a utilitarian end. Rights of privacy do not forward a utilitarian end. The Act should therefore be construed as not preempting common-law copyright's protection of privacy. Email forwarding must yield to privacy protection.

"An invaluable resource giving librarians the tools to assess copyright issues, risks, and approaches both domestically and internationally." -Library Journal, Starred Review Finally: a plain-language guide to best practices for the complex world of copyright management in academic libraries. Copyright issues continue to perplex librarians and educators. The difficulties and confusion in applying the U.S. Copyright Act became especially apparent when Covid hit and many universities turned to remote learning as their primary method of instruction. Librarians and educators struggled with applying the law for both remote learners and students who were on site. This book provides advice on how to analyze and apply the copyright law to specific areas encountered by librarians and instructors. Coverage includes: Controlled digital lending is a very hot issue and confusing to many as to how copyright could apply in those situations remote learning do’s and don’ts’ is at the forefront of copyright concerns which was highlighted during the pandemic The application of copyright to music in light of recent changes to the U.S. Copyright Act has caused much confusion. Analysis of the new law and strategies on how to include music in a curriculum as well as how libraries can provide access and preservation of musical works. Open access initiatives have become increasingly popular. However, open access does not mean that there is no copyright attached to the works. The use of data is exploding as are the copyright issues associated with it. We will examine the issues and provide options. Written by Donna L. Ferullo, the Director of the University Copyright Office at Purdue University who holds both law and library science degrees and Dwayne K. Buttler, the Evelyn J. Schneider Endowed Chair for Scholarly Communication at the University of Louisville, who also holds a law degree. Both Ferullo and Buttler have many years of experience advising their universities on copyright law.

Why our approaches to Alzheimer's and dementia are problematic and contradictory Due to rapidly aging populations, the number of people worldwide experiencing dementia is increasing, and the projections are grim. Despite billions of dollars invested in medical research, no effective treatment has been discovered for Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia. The Alzheimer Conundrum exposes the predicaments embedded in current efforts to slow down or halt Alzheimer’s disease through early detection of pre-symptomatic biological changes in healthy individuals. Based on a meticulous account of the history of Alzheimer’s disease and extensive in-depth interviews, Margaret Lock highlights the limitations and the dissent associated with biomarker detection. Lock argues that basic research must continue, but should be complemented by a public health approach to prevention that is economically feasible, more humane, and much more effective globally than one exclusively focused on an increasingly harried search for a cure.

This book argues that it is time to step back and reassess the anti-corruption movement, which despite its many opportunities and great resources has ended up with a track record that is indifferent at best. Drawing on many years of experience and research, the authors critique many of the major strategies and tactics employed by anti-corruption actors, arguing that they have made the mistake of holding on to problematical assumptions, ideas, and strategies, rather than addressing the power imbalances that enable and sustain corruption. The book argues that progress against corruption is still possible but requires a focus on justice and fairness, considerable tolerance for political contention, and a willingness to stick with the reform cause over a very long process of thoroughgoing, sometimes discontinuous political change. Ultimately, the purpose of the book is not to tell people that they are doing things all wrong. Instead, the authors present new ways of thinking about familiar dilemmas of corruption, politics, contention, and reform. These valuable insights from two of the top thinkers in the field will be useful for policymakers, reform groups, grant-awarding bodies, academic researchers, NGO officers, and students.
