This publication discusses emerging issues, current law, and legal guidance regarding computer technology. It is organized into three major parts: intellectual property issues (aspects of U.S. intellectual property law, including the law of copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets); transactional issues (computer and computer-related technology and commercial transactions, with discussion of topics ranging from contract law and antitrust to sales, licensing, and free and open source software); and information age issues (emerging areas of the law that are of increasing importance such as computer crime, privacy and disclosure of information, computer error and use liability, and electronic publishing).

K3485.W37 2009

This book examines the threats to the marine environment beyond national jurisdiction from existing and emerging human uses and the adequacy of current international law provisions to protect this major part of the global environment. An analysis of key provisions in the 1982 United Nations Law of the Sea Convention and complementary principles of international environmental law reveals significant tensions between the concept of high seas freedoms and the international law obligation to protect and preserve the marine environment beyond national jurisdiction. The book compares the lack of comprehensive environmental regulation for marine resource exploitation and shipping activities beyond national jurisdiction with the best practice standards for environmental protection being developed by the International Seabed Authority for deep seabed mining exploration. Recent initiatives by the international community to study issues relating to conservation of high seas biodiversity are discussed and a range of soft and hard law options to strengthen the international law framework for protection of the marine environment beyond national jurisdiction are considered.
