Who owns native nature? Discourses of rights to land, culture, and knowledge in New Zealand
No full textMichael Brown famously asked ‘Who owns native culture?’ This paper revisits that question by analyzing what happens to culture when the culturally defined boundary between it and nature becomes salient in the context of disputes between indigenous and settler populations. My case study is the dispute between the New Zealand government and Maori tribal groupings concerning ownership of the foreshore and seabed. Having been granted the right to test their claims in court in 2003, Maori groups were enraged when the government legislated the right out of existence in 2004. Though the reasons for doing so were clearly political, contrasting cultural assumptions appeared to set Maori and Pakeha (New Zealanders of European origin) at odds. While couching ownership of part of nature as an IPR issue may seem counter-intuitive, I argue that as soon as a property claim destabilizes the nature/culture boundary, IPR discourse becomes pertinent
Im Memoriam: Professor Michael Goldsmith
No full textMichael Goldsmith, the Woodruff J. Deem Professor of Law, Brigham Young University, was more than a protege. Over the years, he became a close colleague and a true and long-lasting friend.
Mike was unlucky to fall from the ravishes of ALS. Yet he was lucky in life. In the end, people are all that count, not scholarship, public service, or fame. On this count, he was uncommonly lucky.
Michael Goldsmith: Requiescat in Pace
A Reply to Michael Goldsmith
No full textI am grateful for Professor Michael Goldsmith\u27s response to my discussion of RICO. It is always gratifying to find that one\u27s writings have stimulated thought and debate.
Professor Goldsmith\u27s criticisms of my discussion come in three parts. First, he claims that I have misread the history of RICO\u27s adoption. Second, he objects to my criticisms of its scope. Third, he argues that the statute as now drafted serves prosecutorial purposes that would not be captured by the proposals I make for its replacement. Professor Goldsmith\u27s arguments are not persuasive
