Jonathan
Band, Masanobu Katoh. Interfaces on trial 2.0. MIT Press, c2011. K1443.C6B359
2011 We live in an interoperable world.
Computer hardware and software products from different manufacturers can
exchange data within local networks and around the world using the
Internet. This book investigates an often overlooked factor in the
development of today’s interoperability: the evolution of copyright law.
Because software is copyrightable, copyright law determines the rules for
competition in the information technology industry. The authors examine the
debates surrounding the use of copyright law to prevent competition and
interoperability in the global software industry in the last fifteen years. |

Michael
A. Genovese. Presidential prerogative : imperial power in an age of
terrorism. Stanford University Press, c2011. JK516.G47
2011 This work examines the evolution of claims of independent
executive power by exploring the roots and development of executive
prerogative in America. The author traces the concept back to its British use
and the theories that animated prerogative in England, as well as whether
prerogative was "Americanized" by the founders. He further explores
where one might find constitutional or legal support for prerogative, how the
concept and practice of prerogative has evolved over time, the extent to
which the Bush presidency mirrors or departs from previous examples of
presidential prerogative, and finally, whether "necessity" is a
legitimate reason to adopt prerogative. |
