    APPLE AND AMAZON’S ANTITRUST ANTICS: TWO WRONGS DON’T MAKE A RIGHT, BUT MAYBE THEY SHOULD Kerry Gutknecht‡ I. INTRODUCTION The exploding market for books of all kinds in the form of digital files (“e- books”), which can be read on mobile devices and personal computers, has attracted aggressive competition between the two leading online e-book retail- ers, Amazon, Inc. (“Amazon”) and Apple Inc. (“Apple”).1 While both Amazon and Apple have been accused by critics of engaging in anticompetitive practic- es with regard to e-book sales,2 the U.S. Department of Justice has focused on Apple. In 2012, federal prosecutors brought an antitrust suit against Apple and five of the nation’s largest book publishers—HarperCollins Publishers LLC (“HarperCollins”), Hachette Book Group, Inc. and Hachette Digital (“Hachette”); Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC d/b/a Macmillan (“Macmillan”); Penguin Group (USA), Inc. (“Penguin”); and Simon & Schuster, Inc. and (“Simon & Schuster”) (collectively, the “Publisher Defendants”)3—for collud- ing in violation of the Sherman Act to raise the retail prices of e-books.4 Each ‡ J.D.

These are critical analysis, aiming to give information about the quality of the games. While the experience of playing a game is inherently personal and different for each player, current approaches to the evaluation of this experience do not take into account the individual characteristics of each player. We firmly believe game review scores should take into account the personality of the player. To verify this, we created a game review system, using multiple machine learning algorithms, to give multiple reviews for different personalities which allow us to give a more holistic perspective of a review score, based on multiple and distinct players' profiles.

    A Business Lawyer's Bibliography: Books Every Dealmaker Should Read

    585 A Business Lawyer’s Bibliography: Books Every Dealmaker Should Read Robert C. Illig Introduction There exists today in America’s libraries and bookstores a superb if underappreciated resource for those interested in teaching or learning about business law. Academic historians and contemporary financial journalists have amassed a huge and varied collection of books that tell the story of how, why and for whom our modern business world operates. For those not currently on the front line of legal practice, these books offer a quick and meaningful way in. They help the reader obtain something not included in the typical three-year tour of the law school classroom—a sense of the context of our practice. Although the typical law school curriculum places an appropriately heavy emphasis on theory and doctrine, the importance of a solid grounding in context should not be underestimated. The best business lawyers provide not only legal analysis and deal execution. We offer wisdom and counsel. When we cast ourselves in the role of technocrats, as Ronald Gilson would have us do, we allow our advice to be defined downward and ultimately commoditized.1 Yet the best of us strive to be much more than legal engineers, and our advice much more than a mere commodity. When we master context, we rise to the level of counselors—purveyors of judgment, caution and insight. The question, then, for young attorneys or those who lack experience in a particular field is how best to attain the prudence and judgment that are the promise of our profession. For some, insight is gained through youthful immersion in a family business or other enterprise or experience.
  • Copyright Office Comment

    Copyright Office Comment

    Comment'to'the'United'States'Copyright'Office' I’d like to thank the Copyright Office for the opportunity to comment on the effectiveness of the United States’ current compulsory licensing system. I am an independent legal researcher and lawyer with an interest in music licensing reform, and I have studied the effects of the current regime for both composers and cover artists. I have written a note on the functioning of Section 115(a)(2) of the Copyright Act, entitled “‘Look What They’ve Done To My Song, Ma’ – ‘Baby Got Back,’ Moral Rights, And a Proposal For the Reform of 17 U.S.C. § 115(A)(2).” The American University Intellectual Property Law Brief recently published the note, and I have attached it in as an appendix to this letter. The following briefly summarizes the note’s arguments. The note concludes that Section 115(a)(2) needs to be reformed in order to close a legal loophole that unfairly oppresses artists, contrary to the intent of Congress. Section 115(a)(2)’s requirement that a cover arrangement “shall not change the basic melody or fundamental character of the work, and shall not be subject to protection as a derivative work under this title, except with the express consent of the copyright owner,” creates legal uncertainty, does not comport with 21st century attitudes towards covers, creates unnecessary burdens on arrangers seeking to repurpose orphan works, and frequently deprives artists who create arrangements of the fruits of their original expression. A real-world controversy from early 2013 is particularly illustrative of the problems caused by Section 115(a)(2)’s language.

    Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Discussion Paper Series #D‐52, June 2009 Getting It for Free: When Foundations Provide the News on Health By Maralee Schwartz Shorenstein Center Fellow, Spring 2009 Formerly, political reporter, political editor, The Washington Post © 2009 President and Fellows of Harvard College. All rights reserved. Washington Post Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli was asked at a meeting early this year with reporters why The Post had used two stories from something called Kaiser Health News. Up until a few months before, the paper would not have considered taking content from a nonprofit organization, yet in this meeting to discuss the monumental challenges confronting the industry, Brauchli was asked if such an arrangement was “the wave of the future.” The answer was, in fact, yes. Even before The Post published the two stories from KHN, news organizations were taking content from or partnering with investigative websites funded by universities and foundations — the most high‐ profile being ProPublica. Today, newspaper owners and editors are looking beyond their own newsrooms and boardrooms for support amid an unprecedented financial crisis that threatens the survival of the industry. The departure of experienced journalists and the diminishing amount of money for reporting means we are witnessing a decline not only in quantity but also in the variety of content newspapers produce. For them, the work of these nonprofits is a modest, positive trend helping to counteract the retreat and contraction at traditional news organizations. Health care ranks among the top concerns of Americans, and the Obama administration is taking on an ambitious overhaul of health policy.
