Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New legal approaches, such as the European Union's 1996 Directive on the Legal Protection of Databases, and other legal initiatives now being considered in the United States at the federal and state level, are threatening to compromise public access to scientific and technical data available through computerized databases. Lawmakers are struggling to strike an appropriate balance between the rights of database rights holders, who are concerned about possible commercial misappropriation of their products, and public-interest users of the data such as researchers, educators, and libraries. A Question of Balance examines this balancing act. The committee concludes that because database rights holders already enjoy significant legal, technical, and market-based protections, the need for statutory protection has not been sufficiently substantiated. Nevertheless, although the committee opposes the creation of any strong new protective measures, it recognizes that some additional limits against wholesale misappropriation of databases may be necessary. In particular, a new, properly scoped and focused U.S. statute might provide a reasonable alternative to the European Union's highly protectionistic database directive. Such legislation could then serve as a legal model for an international treaty in this area. The book recommends a number of guiding principles for such possible legislation, as well as related policy actions for the administration.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Empirical Legal Research written by Peter Cane and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-05-17 with total page 1112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The empirical study of law, legal systems and legal institutions is widely viewed as one of the most exciting and important intellectual developments in the modern history of legal research. Motivated by a conviction that legal phenomena can and should be understood not only in normative terms but also as social practices of political, economic and ethical significance, empirical legal researchers have used quantitative and qualitative methods to illuminate many aspects of law's meaning, operation and impact. In the 43 chapters of The Oxford Handbook of Empirical Legal Research leading scholars provide accessible and original discussions of the history, aims and methods of empirical research about law, as well as its achievements and potential. The Handbook has three parts. The first deals with the development and institutional context of empirical legal research. The second - and largest - part consists of critical accounts of empirical research on many aspects of the legal world - on criminal law, civil law, public law, regulatory law and international law; on lawyers, judicial institutions, legal procedures and evidence; and on legal pluralism and the public understanding of law. The third part introduces readers to the methods of empirical research, and its place in the law school curriculum.

Download or read book Database Legislation in the Digital Age written by Lynn M. Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is a study of the impact of federal legislative proposals considered between 1997 and 2004 that offer protection to databases. It investigates the effect that the proposals had on the balance between the economic interests of owners and the right of the public to unfettered access to information. This identified legislation included proposed amendments to copyright law and laws that were proposed to specifically protect databases via misappropriation or unfair trade practices. The legislative proposals originated in the U.S House of Representatives, Committee on the Judiciary and Commerce Committee. The study identifies approaches to protection proposed by different constituent groups. For this work, witnesses testifying at Congressional hearings are categorized and associations are made between these categories and positions on the bills, views of the issue, and potential solutions are presented. The testimonies are analyzed by extracting the witnesses' descriptions of the issue, the source of the issue and recommended policy solutions. In addition, descriptions of the public good are also identified and presented. The study concludes that the legislative proposals introduced by the Judiciary Committees, if passed into law, may have influenced the balance by increasing the protection provided by law to the commercial database industry. The legislative proposals introduced by the Commerce Committees were less restrictive and less likely to impact the balance. The witnesses were found to represent a variety of interests, including commerce, education and research, professionals, and Congress. An alignment of views among the commercial organizations that re-compile databases and education and research organizations was identified. Producers of databases were consistently in favor of strong protection legislation. The education and research organization, as well as the database re-compilers, consistently opposed strong protection. Evidence did not support the conventional wisdom that legislative modifications protecting databases was the purview of the information industry, and consequently, protected the interests of these organizations. Those arguing for strong protection claimed that society benefits from a strong database market, both economically and socially. Those opposing strong protection argued for the benefits of unfettered access to information. Both claimed their position benefited the public good.
