2008534272008. ISBN-13: 9781584779087 ISBN-10: 158477908X. Influential Study of Copyright Kaplan Benjamin. An Unhurried View of Copyright. Originally published: New York: Columbia University Press 1967. ix 142 pp. Reprinted 2008 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584779087. ISBN-10: 158477908X. Paperback. New. $29.95 In this widely cited book Kaplan details notions of copyright and its infringement in order to determine the criteria that should determine public policy concerning copyright protection. Invited to give the James S. Carpentier Lectures for 1966 at Columbia University Professor Kaplan chose the provocative subject of copyright. Although the Copyright Act of 1976 followed these lectures by a decade they remain highly influential and undoubtedly influenced the authors of the 1976 Act. Lecture I "The First Three Hundred Fifty Years" sketches the evolution of ideas about the ownership of literary musical and artistic works from their origins in the English censorship of the sixteenth century to the landmark Copyright Act of 1909 which remains effective for copyrighted works created before the 1976 Act went into effect in 1978. Kaplan shows how Classical and Romantic conceptions of authorship and imitation figure in the development of our understanding of copyright and that judges Mansfield Eldon Story and Holmes contributed in important ways to the formulation of doctrines and attitudes regarding copyright protection. In "Plagiarism Reexamined" notions of copyrightability and of infringement of copyright are anatomized in a search for the considerations of public policy that do or should underlie copyright protection. As Judge Learned Hand exerted the greatest influence in shaping thought about these problems during the past half century his opinions are studied at some length in the second lecture. The concluding lecture "Proposals and Prospects" deals with the major suggestions for reform of our copyright law that have emerged from past debates that have entered into the new draft legislation. Some of the proposals revise the age-old formal requirements of the law such as notice of copyright and official registration of works. Other proposals redefine the subject matter of copyright and with due regard to the constitutional provision regarding copyright mark anew the line between national and state regulation. Still other proposals. unknown books

New. $29.95 Laski 1893-1950 intended this work to be a sequel to Studies in the Problem of Sovereignty 1917. He argues that sovereignty is best understood as a type of authority and he supports his case with examples drawn principally from modern French history. After tracing the origins of his subject Laski considers the significance of Bonald Lamennais Royer-Collard and the Syndicalist movement. "This book is especially valuable because it warns us not to exaggerate the importance of law. If the individuals in the legislatures and the departments of justice and on the bench do not stand for the best things men stand for men begin to wonder whether after all that government ought to endure. . So in order to make people loyal to the state you must make the state the kind of institution that they want to be loyal to. Such is the lesson of this very able book." Zachariah Chafee Jr. Harvard Law Review 32:979-83. Laski was a professor at Harvard at the time of publication. He was Justice Holmes' protege and notes in his preface that some of the ideas in this book were drawn from their discussions.

New. $29.95 Reprint of the first English edition published in 1923 under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. With an introduction by James Brown Scott. This important study written during the First World War was one of the first to propose a league of nations. Nippold a German jurist who lived in Switzerland argues that the First World War created a need for a radical reinterpretation of the law of war. Modern war cannot be given the character of a legal institution because it is really a negation of law. War is not an element of international law he concludes; it is self-help on the part of the aggressor nation. In his International Law C.G. Fenwick stated that this book would be an essential addition to a working library of international law.
