A. Klein Between the Death Penalty and Decriminalization : New A. Klein Between the death penalty and decriminalization : new directions for drug control in the Commonwealth Caribbean Traces the changes in public attitudes toward and political stances on drug control in the British Caribbean between 1980 and 2000. Author first discusses the origins of drug control, the role of US pressure, and the vulnerability of the Caribbean. He then looks at European involvement and the different plans and policies to control drugs in the region. Finally, he describes the consequences of these policy approaches on the justice system and legal reform, drug demand, and social structures in the region.

Images of a dreadlocked Bob Marley in a halo of marijuana smoke suggesting a relaxed attitude towards the use of mind-altering substances, continue to pull large numbers of visitors in pursuit of risqué pleasures. The association of the Caribbean with drugs, and particularly with marijuana, is also popular in parts of Africa (Klein 2001; Legget forthcoming). This is an interesting instance of cultural cross-fertilization, all the more ironie as in the Afro-centric discourse of spliff-toting Rastafarians, ganja is often presented as an African drug. Like all clichés, the picture conjured of carefree islands in the sea, while idealizing one aspect of Caribbean culture, ignores the prevailing ethos of respectability and propriety held by vast sections of the population. Anthropo- logists have characterized the divergent sets of values, which obtain in the re- gion, as a dyad of respectability and reputation (Wilson 1973; Austin 1979; Littlewood 1980). The drug culture, with its celebration of artistic creativity, deviance from soeial propriety, and rejection of conventional work, falls well into the sphere of reputation. On the operational level of distribution and pn> duction, the drug economy fits neatly into an underground economy, which has flourished in the region since the days of piracy. Given that this brutal challenge to state formation at the outset, was fol- lowed by the trauma of the violence-charged slave societies, plagued by the fear of uprising and ferocious suppression, there is a widespread fear of dis- order. A sizeable middle class, which first emerged on the fringes of the plan- tation economy, has now taken control of the postcolonial state, and by con- spicuous subscription to the values of diligence and sobriety sets itself apart from the "worthless people." In spite of differences even among the English- speaking countries, there remains a

  • Two Defendants Plead Guilty in Internet Music Piracy Crackdown
    ________________________________________________________________________ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CRM FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 2007 (202) 514-2008 WWW.USDOJ.GOV TDD (202) 514-1888 TWO DEFENDANTS PLEAD GUILTY IN INTERNET MUSIC PIRACY CRACKDOWN WASHINGTON – Two defendants pleaded guilty to conspiracy to unlawfully reproduce and distribute copyrighted music over the Internet, Assistant Attorney General Alice S. Fisher of the Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg of the Eastern District of Virginia announced today. Arthur Gomez, 25, of La Habra, Calif., pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema. His sentencing has been scheduled for July 13, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. Sergey Ribiakost, 21, of Bardonia, N.Y., pleaded guilty on April 17, 2007, before U.S. District Judge James C. Cacheris. His sentencing is scheduled for July 10, 2007, at 1:00 p.m. Both defendants pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit copyright infringement and face up to five years in prison, a fine of $250,000, and three years of supervised release. Gomez and Ribiakost were leading members in the illegal software, game, movie and music trade online, commonly referred to as the warez scene. The defendants were active members of the pre-release music group Apocalypse Crew (APC), one of a handful of organized online criminal groups that acted as “first-providers” of much of the pirated music available on the Internet. As a pre-release music group, APC sought to acquire digital copies of songs and albums before their commercial release in the United States. The supply of such pre-release music was often provided by music industry insiders, such as radio DJs, employees of music magazine publishers, or workers at compact disc manufacturing plants, who frequently receive advance copies of songs prior to their commercial release.

    Page 1 LEXSEE 45 AM. BUS. L.J. 331 Copyright (c) 2008 Academy of Legal Studies in Business American Business Law Journal Summer, 2008 45 Am. Bus. L.J. 331 LENGTH: 17236 words ARTICLE: Coming Attractions: Opportunities and Challenges in Thwarting Global Movie Piracy NAME: Lucille M. Ponte * BIO: * Associate Professor of Law, Florida Coastal School of Law, Jacksonville, FL. I wish to acknowledge and thank Joseph Ferrandino, Master's in Criminal Justice, and PhD candidate in Public Affairs, University of Cen- tral Florida, for his research assistance on certain aspects of criminal copyright infringement for this article. SUMMARY: ... From a technological standpoint, the film industry rushed to develop digital rights management (DRM) tools that seek to deter illegal copying, but often end up being more successful in frustrating average consumers who wish to sim- ply view or make backup copies of digital media they have lawfully purchased for use on a wide range of home tech- nology devices. ... Internet piracy relates to the hacking of vulnerable Web sites to steal movies or defeating DRM tools on authentic films and then posting the materials on the Web for illegal file sharing. ... Despite claims of devastating piracy losses, the MPAA and NATO seem to have had little success from a security perspective in deterring illegal camcorder conduct in the movie theater. ... As consumer demand for content continues to evolve and as consumer ex- pectations for on-demand viewing increase, the development of creative and legal access to films will help benefit both the movie industry and consumers and deter movie piracy.
