  • Reuven Ashtar* 13 YALE J.L. & T ECH. 141 This Article Deals with The
    LICENSING AS DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT, FROM THE ADVENT OF THE WEB TO THE IPAD Reuven Ashtar* 13 YALE J.L. & TECH. 141 ABSTRACT This Article deals with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s anti-circumvention provision, Section 1201, and its relationship to licensing. It argues that not all digital locks and contractual notices qualify for legal protection under Section 1201, and attributes the courts’ indiscriminate protection of all Digital Rights Management (DRM) measures to the law’s incoherent formulation. The Article proposes a pair of filters that would enable courts to distinguish between those DRM measures that qualify for protection under Section 1201, and those that do not. The filters are shown to align with legislative intent and copyright precedent, as well as the approaches recently adopted by the Fifth Circuit, in MGE v. GE, and the Librarian of Congress, in granting the iPad “jailbreaking” exemption. The Article contends that articulating a coherent standard for legitimate circumvention would serve rightsholders by clarifying the scope of their protections, as well as prospective inventive competitors and generative consumers. * BA (Hons) (Toronto), BCL, LLB (McGill), LLM (Toronto).

  • 2008 OAH Annual Meeting • New York 1
    Welcome ear colleagues in history, welcome to the one-hundred-fi rst annual meeting of the Organiza- tion of American Historians in New York. Last year we met in our founding site of Minneap- Dolis-St. Paul, before that in the national capital of Washington, DC. On the present occasion wew meet in the world’s media capital, but in a very special way: this is a bridge-and-tunnel aff air, not limitedli to just the island of Manhattan. Bridges and tunnels connect the island to the larger metropolitan region. For a long time, the peoplep in Manhattan looked down on people from New Jersey and the “outer boroughs”— Brooklyn, theth Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island—who came to the island via those bridges and tunnels. Bridge- and-tunnela people were supposed to lack the sophistication and style of Manhattan people. Bridge- and-tunnela people also did the work: hard work, essential work, beautifully creative work. You will sees this work in sessions and tours extending beyond midtown Manhattan. Be sure not to miss, for example,e “From Mambo to Hip-Hop: Th e South Bronx Latin Music Tour” and the bus tour to my own Photo by Steve Miller Steve by Photo cityc of Newark, New Jersey. Not that this meeting is bridge-and-tunnel only. Th anks to the excellent, hard working program committee, chaired by Debo- rah Gray White, and the local arrangements committee, chaired by Mark Naison and Irma Watkins-Owens, you can chose from an abundance of off erings in and on historic Manhattan: in Harlem, the Cooper Union, Chinatown, the Center for Jewish History, the Brooklyn Historical Society, the New-York Historical Society, the American Folk Art Museum, and many other sites of great interest.

    HALEY BARBOUR GOVERNOR STATE OF MISSISSIPPI OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR March 26, 2009 The Honorable Barack Obama President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C., 20500 Dear Mr. President: While Mississippi is faring better than many other states in these troubled economic times, we are still facing severe budget constraints. In fact, on March 20, the Joint Legislative Budget Committee adopted the Revenue Estimating Committee's revised revenue estimates projecting that Fiscal Year 2009 general fund revenue fell $301 million, or 5.9 percent, short of expectations, and for Fiscal Year 2010, the projected shortfall will be $402.7 million, or 7.9 percent. To that end, I have been working with the Mississippi Legislature to make the best possible budget decisions from a string of ugly options. My administration will continue to examine the intent of the stimulus dollars and the impact these funds will have on all Mississippians. It is important to create jobs in a fiscally responsible manner without creating unfunded mandates and new government programs. I ask that you release guidance regarding the uses of the Fiscal Stabilization Fund as soon as possible, as the Mississippi Legislature has already extended its 2009 Regular Session.

  • The Radical Democratic Thought of Thomas Jefferson: Politics, Space, & Action
    The Radical Democratic Thought of Thomas Jefferson: Politics, Space, & Action Dean Caivano A Dissertation Submitted To The Faculty Of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfillment Of The Requirements For The Degree Of Doctor Of Philosophy Graduate Program in Political Science York University Toronto, Ontario May 2019 © Dean Caivano, 2019 Abstract Thomas Jefferson has maintained an enduring legacy in the register of early American political thought. As a prolific writer and elected official, his public declarations and private letters helped to inspire revolutionary action against the British monarchy and shape the socio-political landscape of a young nation. While his placement in the American collective memory and scholarship has remained steadfast, a crucial dimension of his thinking remains unexplored. In this dissertation, I present a heterodox reading of Jefferson in order to showcase his radical understanding of politics. Although Jefferson’s political worldview is strikingly complex, marked by affinities with liberal, classical republican, Scottish, and Christian modes of thought, this interpretation reveals the radical democratic nature of his project. Primarily, this dissertation expands the possibilities of Jefferson’s thought as explored by Hannah Arendt and other thinkers, such as Richard K. Matthews and Michael Hardt. Drawing from these explicitly radical readings, I further dialogue with Jefferson’s thought through extensive archival research, which led me to engage in the theoretical and historical sources of inspiration that form and underscore his thinking. In so doing, I offer a new reading of Jefferson’s view on politics, suggesting that there contains an underlying objective, setting, and method to his unsystematic, yet innovative prescriptions concerning democracy.
