I find this case to be contradicting because what is illegal in the copy right act somewhat violates your constitutional rights. (Eric Corley, 2000) Is it possible to strike an appropriate balance between the rights of both groups on this issue? I do not believe it is possible to balance out the rights of both groups without contradiction. You either can make a few copies or none according to the opposing side. I am completely against breaking the law but I myself have brought a CD for my father and burned it to my iPod so that I can also listen to it.
Critics of natural rights argue that all human rights are legal rights and that natural rights do not exist, whereas the proponents of natural rights state that the founding documents like the American Declaration of Independence make natural rights valid by implication (Wikipeda, 2007). The question of whether there are natural rights is debatable since there are various perspectives on this subject. There have been different philosophers who have created different lists of rights which they consider to be natural. For instance, John Locke, a prominent Western philosopher, stated that a man’s natural rights are life, liberty and property. On the contrary, Thomas Paine emphasized that rights cannot be granted to an individual because in that case they can also be revoked, making them privileges (Wikipedia, 2007).
Although with the use of the 1966 Practise Statement, the Supreme Court is allowed to depart from its own earlier decisions, as for example in Hetherington v British Rail and Shivpuri and also in R V Gemmell and Richards (2003) where the Supreme Court overruled the decision in Caldwell by using the 1966 Practise Statement. (This abolished objective recklessness and made a new rule that all recklessness is subjective. The Court Of Appeal isn’t covered by the 1966 Practise Statement (even though Lord Denning wanted the practise statement to extent over to the Court Of Appeal). However the Court Of Appeal has some discretion using the rules in Young. But these are limited in use to certain circumstances.

Assignment 1: COMPARING TWO SIMILAR BUSSINESS THE CONTRAST AND COMPARIOSN OF AMAZON.COM AND BORDERS BOOK STORES 1. Abstract This paper explores a public domain that dissects the history of Amazon.com & Borders Book Stores. Eight internet websites were interrogated for the analysis of these two companies. In addition to using the information readily available from Wikipedia.com, Answers.com, an analysis written by Joseph Checkler and Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg (2011) from Wall Street Journal.com contributed to this paper. Kayla Webley (2010) from time.com and Ian McAllister (2010) from quora.com utilized numerous resources to complete their analysis of these two companies.
He did not specifically say that the Texas Sodomy Law was wrong but that the petitioners had “constitutionally-protected liberty” which the Texas Sodomy Law violates. He then moves on to the Bowers case which was used as the standard in Lawrence’s conviction. He says that the Bowers case is more complex and more factors and failed to express the extent of liberty. Additionally, he adds that the “mere moral disapproval of homosexuality by a legislative majority does not constitute a rational basis supporting the constitutionality of resulting
The piece 4’33” by John Cage is considered music, but it has no sound. I would like to take a journey into the definition of music to help us further understand at how we should look at this. Music - Melody or harmony; any succession of sounds so modulated as to please the ear, or any combination of simultaneous sounds in accordance or harmony. Music is vocal or instrumental. (Webster’s 1828 Dictionary) I would like to ask; does the piece 4’33” fall into the category of music?
In other words if Member State incorrectly implements or does not implement the directive at all, under this circumstances individuals can be trimmed or completely lose certain rights which EU has to provide. The European Court of Justice created special principles which in some situations provide an opportunity for individual to enforce their rights in national courts, it aimed to present efficient means of enforcement for rights of individual. One of this principles is direct effect. Much like the EC Treaty, the TFEU does not strictly provide for the direct effect of EU law. In the case of Van Gend en Loos v Nederlandse [1963] ECR 1 however, the ECJ conceived the doctrine of direct effect in relation to Treaty articles.
According to Frith, popular music serves a social function in four different ways. The first is that people enjoy popular music because of its use in answering questions of identity. People who enjoy the same music style are automatically drawn together in emotional alliances like at music concerts and clubs. Popular music also helps people to decide their likes and dislikes and where/how they spend their leisure time. Music concerts make it possible for musical and non-musical people in interacts and form part of the music making process.
Some argue that this rule encourages precision of drafting, however a counter argument is why would anyone be deliberately careless? Statutory interpretation also grants law making powers to judges, which defeats the point of parliamentary supremacy. In addition, the question of what is absurd or immoral and therefore allowing the plain words of a statute to be ignored is by necessity a subjective one, and so the interpretation will vary with the judge's background, upbringing, education, and beliefs; which will inevitably differ greatly from the mean at least some of the time. In Whitley v. Chappell (1868), it was illegal to impersonate any person entitled to vote. A dead person who was not entitled to vote, so therefore was acquitted.
