The position of the Obama Administration, repeated on numerous occasions by the head of the U.S. delegation, is that the Treaty would require no changes to U.S. law. When the Administration asks the Senate to ratify the Treaty, it will submit a detailed legal analysis, which presumably will explain in detail why no changes to U.S. law are need."<br /><br />http://infojustice.org/archives/30401#comment-10269<br /><br />If supporters of the Marrakesh Treaty prior to adoption in Morocco wanted to have a WIPO Treaty that required no legislative changes to US copyright law, then they could have made sure that the treaty as adopted would require no legislative changes to US copyright law. They didn't.jemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642588345555781182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22351669.post-21497561848565335082015-06-18T12:56:01.214-04:002015-06-18T12:56:01.214-04:00At least lawyers like you are continuing to bring ...At least lawyers like you are continuing to bring attention to the case.

The entire record is a fraudulent mess. The orders never make it to the court’s recent order docket which is the master record of all the days orders by all sitting judges. I have all the daily recent orders dockets and collect them daily from the PACER System.<br /><br />The staff of this court engaged in the identity theft of a US District Judge to unseal a few documents of the very secret docket in an attempt to humor the public. The order did not come from Judge O’Toole and he is probably not even aware the case is on his docket. Don't let his name being present in the properties of the PDF with the order fool you; this is a court staff computer PDF. <br /><br />No defense attorney has made the required notice of appearance in the case. The transcript from the arraignment lacks the court stamp. <br /><br />Documents supposedly by Judy Clarke who lives in California have come from the MA fed public defender office; Clarke is not a government employee! <br /><br />The defendant cannot be found in federal custody with an inmate search; using known names and register number, the continual result since his transfer from BI Hospital has been NO INMATE FOUND.<br /><br />Surely if all the events as told by the FBI really occurred we would not be playing pretend court!! <br /><br />The Three Branches of Government are running a racketeering scheme and defrauding the American people. We no longer have three branches of federal government with checks and balances; we have one rogue government. <br /><br />Ask the US Congress how the House HLS Committee managed to draft a Bill on 4/12/2013 that would address information sharing by the feds to to local authorities in anti-terrorism efforts and why the premise of that Bill continued to be the focus of “show” hearings that followed the Boston bombing on 4/15/2013 when there was no actual evidence that the older brother had become radicalized.<br />http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/hr1542 <br /><br />Ask Rep Keating why the so called “scathing” letter he wrote to Director Comey never made it in the Congressional record. Ask Rep Keating why there is no summary of his trip with a group of other Reps to Russia in the Congressional record. http://ftpcontent3.worldnow.com/wfxt/pdf/keating-letter-to-fbi-director.pdf <br /><br />Ask the US Congress why they have not acknowledged that the FBI was the actual crowd at Blast Site 2 and not this young Defendant in spite of being provided this information with material evidence to support the allegation. https://twitter.com/rebelready/status/365581301174116352/photo/1 <br /><br />Watch the FBI in action at Blast site 2 where they acted as pretend rescue, fake bloodied victims and moulage artist for the future propaganda pictures. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJn6kz-nDhA<br /><br />Our federal government is, in whole, a sham and these tax supported public servants are running a racketeering scheme. <br /><br />In the Boston “bombing” matter they are colluding with the corrupt Massachusetts State government, the staff of the USDC of Massachusetts, and multiple private sector entities.<br /><br />This country has families that are homeless and going without food. Our government continually provides dishonest service and continually wants more of our money to support it. The entire situation is shameful and unacceptable!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16239124036896011760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22351669.post-20120167793860279582013-08-19T07:56:39.120-04:002013-08-19T07:56:39.120-04:00 Perhaps Don Quijote in an unconventional hero in ...

Ron Coleman of Likelihood of Confusion often covers copyright law topics. And I cover art law and trademarks. Many of us blog according to interest not necessarily sticking strictly to the label.

And I would submit that theft would include misappropriation by means of intimidation or undue pressure.<br /><br />Items may have passed through any number of hands before being acquired by a museum.<br /><br />Might it be a possibility that some items could be alleged to have "lost"/"mislaid" in the fog of war? Or have been taken by the soldiery and suchlike as "souvenirs"?<br /><br />Due diligence, surely, is the heart of the matter.<br /><br />I would suggest a start would be the compilation of a register of Nazi-looted art. Could this be done under UNESCO auspices?<br /><br />How extendible is this to other occasions and circumstances, such as the Russian Revolution, etc.hadPeter M.

Does everyone realize how bad the piracy is in the world. Take Sony Vegas Pro, it's a Linear Video editing software package that "kids" (not even 13 yet) are pirating it so that they can use the best software out there to make YouTube videos which these kids make MONEY off of. So in a sense due to how contracts are and agreements with using copyrighted material (like video game play) within an illegal software package is NOT GOOD! People are making millions of dollars on their YouTube channels and "some" are most likely using pirated software only because the piracy blocking for keys is just not strong enough to deter people from using it for profit business's. <br /><br />I know I am off topic but in a sense it's all tied together. The government wants to stop piracy for a reason, because hard working individuals at Sony are more or less getting screwed IF Sony can't make money on their software because people are in essence stealing it, which then makes them put pressure on the legislation and government to go after these piracy type torrent sites etc etc BUT that's a very tough debate to have as I am not aware of all the facts regarding megaupload.
