An aspect of the Internet that contributes to the difficulty in policing copyright infringement is the inherently international nature of the medium. This article will identify some of the more complicated copyright enforcement issues that exist and will also describe some of the current legal devices available to combat International copyright infringement, such as: (1) the Digital Millennium Copyright Act; (2) the European Union Directive on Electronic Commerce; (3) the World Trade Organization and the related Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property; (4) the World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty and Performances and Phonograms Treaty; (5) the North American Free Trade Agreement; and (6) Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. This article will discuss the potential application of each of these bodies of law to the Internet, their shortcomings when applied to the Internet, and some suggestions as to how the current international system of copyright enforcement might be strengthened in the context of the Internet.

THE EXPRESSIVE TRANSPARENCY OF PROPERTY
Jane B. Baron
Columbia Law Review
Volume 102, Number 1, January 2002 p.208

This Essay examines expressive theories of law. In two new books, property theorist Joseph Singer condemns the dominant, absolutist conception of property for failing to express the full range of our values; he suggests its replacement with a model, epitomized by the generous commitment of Malden Mills owner Aaron Feuerstein to rebuild his plant after a catastrophic fire, that expresses not just the powers but the obligations that flow from ownership. After questioning how we interpret what law “says”or “expresses,”the Essay asks how we should understand expressivist projects such as Singer’s. Should we characterize expressivists as idealists, throwing one concept (“ownership obligates”) against another (“ownership is freedom”) in the naive hope that long-entrenched beliefs and understandings will be displaced by the simple demonstration that other beliefs and understandings are plausible? Or should we see them instead as “meaning entrepreneurs,”who cleverly trade on intuitively appealing images such as that of Aaron Feuerstein to disrupt conventional associations between, for example, property and selfishness?
