This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " In addition to proving virtually impossible, online enforcement of copyright may be undesirable because it risks encroaching upon fundamental rights and freedoms. However, the problem remains that creators are often not fairly remunerated for the online use of their works. This book addresses the urgent need to study pragmatic legal solutions that enable Internet users to access works in the digital environment, while assuring remuneration to rights holders and promoting the development of the information society. This study examines legalisation schemes that favour remunerated access over exclusivity and enforcement for large-scale online use by individuals. It investigates whether and to what extent these schemes (referred to as alternative compensation systems) are admissible under EU copyright law and consistent with its objectives, responding to such questions as the following in depth: - What existing copyright schemes provide an alternative to the exclusive right in copyright law? - What online rights apply to the activities of Internet users? - What types of models exist for the legalisation of online use of copyright works? - How can the public interest shape the scope of protection of copyright? - Can and should we legalise non-commercial file sharing and online use in EU copyright law? The book carefully examines these questions in light of EU primary law, relevant directives (with a focus on the InfoSoc Directive), case law (especially that of the CJEU), and legal literature in the field of copyright. The analysis culminates with a proposed blueprint for a compensated limitation for non-commercial individual use that is consistent with EU copyright law. As a thoroughly researched and balanced response to the urgent need to rethink EU copyright law in light of its lack of social acceptance and technological adequacy, this book will be of inestimable value to lawyers, policymakers, and scholars in the field, as well as to interest groups involved in discussions for reform and modernisation of EU digital copyright law.

Download or read book Compensation Schemes for Damages Caused by Healthcare and Alternatives to Court Proceedings written by Dobrochna Bach-Golecka and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-16 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book discusses compensation mechanisms and other non-judicial means that offer alternatives to court proceedings, designed and provided for within national legal regimes. Such schemes are primarily of a civil or administrative character and are mainly intended to supplement criminal liability for medical negligence. As such, the book focuses on medical malpractice and prospective medical harm from a civil law perspective. It examines the contemporary perspective of a patient-physician relationship, which has evolved from a relation of a quasi-patrimonial character into a partnership of quasi-equal parties, dealing with a medical treatment procedure as a scientific endeavor. It also reviews the extra-legal conditions that are taken into account in compensation arrangements, particularly the need to satisfy a psychological urge for conciliation and empathy on the part of medical personnel. Lastly, the book explores the responsibility of public authorities and healthcare providers to guarantee access to healthcare that is of a sufficient quality, based upon standards provided for in international (and European) law.

This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. agencies with responsibilities for enforcing equal employment opportunity laws have long relied on detailed information that is obtained from employers on employment in job groups by gender and race/ethnicity for identifying the possibility of discriminatory practices. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Office of Federal Contract Compliance programs of the U.S. Department of Labor, and the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice have developed processes that use these employment data as well as other sources of information to target employers for further investigation and to perform statistical analysis that is used in enforcing the anti-discrimination laws. The limited data from employers do not include (with a few exceptions) the ongoing measurement of possible discrimination in compensation. The proposed Paycheck Fairness Act of 2009 would have required EEOC to issue regulations mandating that employers provide the EEOC with information on pay by the race, gender, and national origin of employees. The legislation was not enacted. If the legislation had become law, the EEOC would have been required to confront issues regarding currently available and potential data sources, methodological requirements, and appropriate statistical techniques for the measurement and collection of employer pay data. The panel concludes that the collection of earnings data would be a significant undertaking for the EEOC and that there might be an increased reporting burden on some employers. Currently, there is no clearly articulated vision of how the data on wages could be used in the conduct of the enforcement responsibilities of the relevant agencies. Collecting Compensation Data from Employers gives recommendations for targeting employers for investigation regarding their compliance with antidiscrimination laws.

Book excerpt: Schools, districts, and states across the nation are changing the way educators are paid. Through the Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) and other publicly and independently funded programs, educators at every level are designing and implementing modified pay and reward structures for teachers and principals. Sometimes these initiatives are called "merit pay" and sometimes they are referred to as "pay for performance." In other situations, one might hear a program referred to as "differentiated compensation." Currently, the field uses dozens of expressions to describe these different reform efforts, including the following: (1) Merit pay; (2) Performance pay, pay for performance, or performance-based compensation; (3) Alternative compensation; (4) Differential pay (including "knowledge- and skills-based pay"); (5) Teacher incentives or incentive pay; and (6) Teacher bonuses. The discussion about what this all means and the terms that are used to describe these efforts have taken on a life of their own. The vocabulary can be confusing and imprecise, and it potentially gets in the way of a productive discussion about the substantive issues of reforming teacher pay. The misuse of these terms by education stakeholders, policymakers, and the media as well as the frequent misrepresentation of programs based on incorrect terminology have created two unfortunate situations: (1) the terms themselves are losing meaning, and (2) reform efforts are faltering before they even begin, in part because they are incorrectly described. Although all of the terms in the list above are important for a discussion about the terminology of educator pay reform, this paper focuses primarily on the first two terms, "merit pay" and "performance pay" because they are the most commonly used when discussing programs and initiatives related to alternative compensation. Furthermore, these terms are used interchangeably, and little effort is made to distinguish their meaning. When it comes to alternative compensation terminology, particularly the use of the terms "merit pay" and "performance pay," this Emerging Issues paper puts forth the following three points for policymakers, education stakeholders, and the media to consider: (1) the Center for Educator Compensation Reform (CECR) argues for the "discontinuation of the term 'merit pay.'" "Merit pay" is an outdated term that typically refers to teacher pay based on principal evaluations, which have traditionally been rife with problems; (2) CECR suggests that when stakeholders, policymakers, and the media describe an alternative compensation system, they "use terms consistently." Those individuals working on the development and/or implementation of a program should develop a communication plan that uses clear and consistent language to describe the title, goals, and design features of the program. A well-constructed plan can ensure the consistent use of terminology and must be widely shared with the public and media. The public and the media should consider such plans when communicating about alternative compensation programs to further ensure the consistent use of terminology; and (3) CECR recommends that stakeholders, policymakers, and the media "include a description of the specific measure of performance" to be rewarded when they describe alternative compensation programs. For example, will teachers receive performance awards based on student test scores, principal evaluations, or a combination of both? Including language about specific performance measures will allow those who communicate about alternative compensation to share a clear message of program design with audiences, instead of allowing audiences to speculate about what a program entails based on general or misleading terms. Quick-Reference Glossary of Terms Related to Alternative Compensation is appended. (Contains 2 tables.

This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this collection are drawn from a symposium held in Vienna in December 2010. Organised by the Institute for European Tort Law and the Chicago-Kent Law Review, in collaboration with the European Centre of Tort and Insurance Law, the conference drew together legal experts from 14 national or regional systems across six continents. Medical malpractice and compensation for medical injuries are issues which regularly create tension and innovation in national legal systems but the analysis of these areas is often limited to national audiences. This study examines the issues in a uniquely global context, demonstrating the breadth of approaches currently taken around the world and revealing key areas of tension and the likely direction of future developments. Wherever possible, the analysis is supported by reference to empirical data. The 14 legal systems covered in the collection are Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Poland, Scandinavia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. A general comparative introduction completes the collection.
