Delaware Tech and Introduction to Criminal Justice and Rob Wiltbank and Undergraduate 9:58 pm
Benjamin Franklin was once quoted as saying, “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” There’s a balance that must be struck between maintaing individual rights while balancing them against the interest of public safety. In this, our innaugural episode of Introduction to Criminal Justice, we’ll be discussing the basic concepts of criminal justice and the judicial process. You can also learn more about the association of corporate counsel at martindale.com, a company that provides information regarding professional legal associations.

Copyright Law #4: Fixation Friday, Dec 28 2007
2L/3L and Copyright Law and IU-Indianapolis and Intellectual Property and Neil Wehneman 5:48 pm
Copyright applies upon tangible fixation. In this episode, we will examine what is meant by “fixation,” including the question of whether a copy of a work in RAM is tangibly fixed.

Copyright Law #3: Introduction to Copyright III Friday, Dec 28 2007
2L/3L and Copyright Law and IU-Indianapolis and Intellectual Property and Neil Wehneman 5:48 pm
Copyright in the United States is affected by both the Federal Constitution, and international law such as the Berne Convention. Additionally, international law is often used to justify increases in rights for the sake of “harmonization.” We conclude this last introductory episode by briefly comparing and contrasting several areas of the law that are often lumped together as “intellectual property.”
Note: Due to temporary technical issues, this episode lacks an intro and outro (they will be provided shortly).
Copyright Law #2: Introduction to Copyright II Friday, Dec 28 2007
2L/3L and Copyright Law and IU-Indianapolis and Intellectual Property and Neil Wehneman 5:47 pm
Copyright applies to a wide variety of works, even types of expression that are newly created (and not explicitly referenced in the copyright act). However, some items of “intellectual creation” are outside of copyright, such as ideas or works of the federal government. We conclude this episode by exploring how to analyze a given situation, to determine whether copyright prevents a new use.
Note: Due to temporary technical issues, this episode lacks an intro and outro (they will be provided shortly).

In this, the first episode of Copyright Law, we begin a high-level overview of what copyright is. Almost everyone is a copyright holder, with specific exclusive rights over their original works of authorship that are fixed in a tangible medium. We close this episode with a look at three views of the justification for copyright.
