A fi fteen- year-old math prodigy, his every spare minute is devoted to honing his skills at Starfare, the world’s most popular computer game. His goal: South Korea, where the top pros are rich and famous. But the best players train all day long. Seth has school and a job and divorced parents who agree on only one thing: “Get off that damn computer.” Plus, there’s a new distraction named Hannah, an aspiring photographer who actually seems to understand his obsession. Team Anaconda, one of the leading Korean pro squads, sees something special in Seth. His dream comes true! Before he knows it, it’s goodbye Kansas and Hannah, hello to the strange new world of Korea. But the reality is more complicated than the fantasy, as he faces culture shock, disgruntled teammates, and giant pots of sour-smelling kimchi. What happens next surprises Seth. Slowly, he comes to make new friends, and discovers what might be a breakthrough, mathematical solution to the challenges of Starfare. Delving deeper into the formula takes him in an unexpected direction, one that just might give him a new focus—and reunite him with Hannah. Lawrence Tabak started off with Candy Land before hitting the harder stuff. His writing has appeared in numerous national magazines and journals, including Fast Company, Salon.com, and The Atlantic Monthly. He and his wife have raised two game-obsessed boys.

  • Malaysian Batik Industry: Protecting Local Batik Design by Copyright and Industrial Design Laws
    International Journal of Business and Society, Vol. 13 No. 2, 2012, 117 - 132 MALAYSIAN BATIK INDUSTRY: PROTECTING LOCAL BATIK DESIGN BY COPYRIGHT AND INDUSTRIAL DESIGN LAWS Rohaida Nordin♣ Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Siti Safina Abu Bakar Kolej Profesional MARA Beranang ABSTRACT The batik is one of many popular handicraft products. Malaysia, through its agency, Malaysian Handicraft, has stepped forward to promote the Malaysian batik as an artistic product. As a result, the Malaysian batik has become a sought after product by consumers and tourists. Unfortunately, the popularity of the Malaysian batik has sparked the interest of other batik producers, such as China and Vietnam, who imitate the designs of local batik producers. Such acts negatively impact the local batik industry as the imitation products are priced considerably lower than articles produced by the local industry. This article analyses how existing intellectual property laws in Malaysia can be utilised to protect the local batik industry. The analysis also considers the potential problems in utilising intellectual property law as a framework for protection and provides recommendations to address such problems. Keywords: batik industry, batik design, intellectual property, Copyright Act 1987, Industrial Designs Act 1996 1. INTRODUCTION The batik industry has a long history in Malaysia. Beginning with small-scale operations, batik production has developed into a lucrative cottage industry and national enterprise. Batik refers to decorative fabrics containing various colours and patterns. The term ‘batik’ is derived from the Javanese word ‘tick’, meaning to drip or write points. ‘Ambatik’ means to draw, write, paint or drip. Batik patterns can be produced by using a carved block, a screen or a hand stroke.
