Across the world ancient artefacts are displayed in the museums of countries other than those in which they were originally discovered. The objects were previously taken from their countries of origin by means of looting and buying, and were then exported to other countries where many of them remain today. Now many of these antiquities have ended up in the hands of private collectors and wealthy museums. Recently many of the countries of origin have demanded the return of these historical objects. This has caused a world-wide debate over the ethics of these antiquities, creating dispute over who should have the rightful ownership of them.
This success was largely due to illegal insider trading. According to the SEC, insider trading actually includes legal as well as illegal practices. Insider trading, in the legal form, occurs when an individual trades stock in their own company; as in trading inside as opposed to outside trading in other companies. Illegal insider trading refers to the practice of using tips and information that are not publicly available to buy or sell stock. This is not only a breach in fiduciary duty on the part of the person giving out this information, but also gives the person benefitting from this information an illegal and immensely unfair advantage over other investors in a way that completely disregards the federal laws and regulations that are designed to facilitate a trading environment that harbors equality of opportunity for all.
Plagiarism is the intentional, and sometimes unintentional, stealing of someone else’s work without giving credit to the originator. Plagiarism could be citing work incorrectly or not citing it at all. Bootlegging, which is a very common act today, is a form of plagiarism. It is the taking of usually films or plays and producing copies without paying the owner of the work. Bootleggers use this for the own profit.
The adventure began in 1970 when a British journalist teamed up with Acar to determine if one of the best museums in the world had in fact, knowingly purchased looted antiquities. The alleged theft took place in a region in southwestern Turkey called Usak. The looters took “363 objects, including gold and silver vessels and jewelry, a pair of marble sphinxes, and some pieces of wall painting”. Once the Turkish authorities had determined the objects as illicit, they filled a lawsuit in Manhattan. After being humiliated by nationwide and worldwide newspapers, in September 1993, the Metropolitan Museum of Art issued an apology and sent back the Lydian treasures to Turkey.
Not to mention WIRETIME is unethical in their actions. Computer hacking is considered criminalizing under The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Under this, BUGusa would have the right to obtain compensatory damages and court ordered relief or other just relief. Steven and WIRETIME may be sued for the executed plot performed because it is unlawful to purposely access computer information without authority to do so, under section 1030 (a)(2) – Unlawful Access to Obtain Information. If he is caught in the act, he can be charged under Uniform Trade Secrets Act.
They also expressed similar concerns that it was racially targeting black defendants. In the Furman v. Georgia case, the resident awoke in the middle of the night to find William Henry Furman committing robbery in his house. When Furman attempted to escape the home he dropped his gun. Upon hitting the ground, the gun discharged and killed the homeowner. The death was a freak accident that resulted in murder.
As time goes on, I believe more theories will arise. From everything that I have learned about King Tut’s death, I believe that he had died from a sickness of some sort. For one, he had a broken thigh bone. If he were murdered I think they would have found some evidence that someone created damage to his body. For second, his death was very sudden.
Fisch died there, of tuberculosis. While cleaning a leaking closet, Hauptmann rediscovered the box, and discovered that it was full of waterlogged bills. He claimed that he took these to his garage and began to dry them, hiding each bundle as it dried. Fisch, he said, owed him $7,000, so he felt entitled to keep and use that portion of the money in the box. Police and reporters labeled this "the Fisch story."
What are the arguments for and against repatriation of artworks and artefacts to their countries of origin? Art repatriation is the return of art or cultural objects to their country of origin and there has been great dispute surrounding the issue of repatriation and the demand of these objects to be returned to their supposedly rightful owners. These disputed items were taken from a particular group or country, usually in an act of looting, for various different reasons. These items range from paintings and sculptures, to even human remains. I will be exploring the social, moral and practical arguments for and against artefact repatriation, discussing the advantages and disadvantages, and explaining the situations of countries still seeking repatriation for example Egypt, Greece, and Italy.
I will elaborate on how the threat of terrorism impacted Crime and Criminal Laws. Crime is defined as “A Wrong against society or the public interest”. While it is undocumented it is supposed that since the beginning of human society and human interaction there as always been Crime. It is not difficult to reason and imagine a caveman stealing another caveman’s food or water in an effort to survive. So while we defined the term crime how do we identify if an event or action is a Crime.
