A Relational Theory of Authorship
No full textOver the years we have heard the debate as to whether authorship emanates solely from the individual or from the cultural context in which they inhabit. Writers such as Professors Woodmansee, Jaszi and Cohen have asserted a cultural theory of authorship. On one hand, there is the liberal philosophy of autonomous creativity evidenced in the notion of a "romantic author" (after the period known as romanticism). On the other hand we have more of a communitarian notion – that the author acts in a cultural context and authorship to some extent must be linked back to the social existence within which the author is situated.\ud

This article argues that for too long we have privileged the notion of the romantic author so much so that it is hard to argue for any other approach to copyright than one that focuses primarily on the author and their assignees such as publishers or associated commercialising agents such as recording companies. Furthermore it suggests that this approach fits awkwardly with the burgeoning networked society fuelled by the Internet to the point where it threatens innovation and the potential for productivity. To this end the article argues that we should more explicitly acknowledge the contribution of culture to authorship and more so the role of each and every individual in assisting and nurturing that authorship, as well as the contribution of users to creativity through consumptive, productive and transformative use of copyright works
Structuring and restructuring nonprofit associations
No full textIn the mid seventies there was a spate of legal claims involving unincorporated not-for-profit associations. These claims highlighted the liability exposure of management committee members and prompted a dramatic increase in the number of associations seeking shelter behind the corporate veil. Corporate structure decisions during this period were primarily motivated by the incentive of limited liability.\ud
\ud
Twenty years later, the not-for-profit sector is subject to new challenges. The Industry Commission Report into Charitable Organisations in Australia heralds an increasing intrusion of legislative responsibilities and reform in the sector. The traditional sources of funds for not-for-profit organisations are about to radically change with the advent of “competitive tendering” for government funding and the declining benevolence of society. The legal scuffle between Australian Rugby Football League Limited (the “ARL”) and News Limited has also exposed the vulnerability of not-for-profit groups and the many legal and commercial minefields in structural decision-making. The sector is beginning to respond to these pressures by rationalisation and restructure. Corporate structure decisions are now motivated by the need to promote efficiency and resilience. Survival of the fittest.\ud

Restructuring is by no means a task for the faint-hearted. A delicate balance between legality and practicality needs to be maintained. The focus of this paper is on the restructuring choices for not-for-profit organisations and groups in Queensland. It answers “how-to” questions and identifies some important restructuring issues

How far is F. Scott Fitzgerald efficient in reflecting the moral corruption in the American Society of Roaring Twenties?
No full textF. Scott Fitzgerald is one of the artistic authors in American literature who has always
inspired young generations ever since he was first published. The very first reason why his
masterpieces are so impressive, is his flashing some sections from his real life in his short
stories and novels. Furthermore, he is shining at reflecting the characteristics of his period-the
glittering Jazz Era, the sophisticated, stylish Roaring Twenties.
There are many sections of Fitzgerald’s life, which is very similar to his novel The Great
Gatsby. To give some examples, Gatsby falls in love while he is a lieutenant like Fitzgerald
and Daisy is keen on a wealthy life, full of luxury just like Zelda who is Fitzgerald’s wife in
real life. Nick Carraway has also some similar aspects with Fitzgerald. They both go to Ivy
League colleges (Nick goes to Yale and Fitzgerald goes to Princeton.). The real life of the
author, embedded in the story, always makes the novel more alluring. That is why I chose The
Great Gatsby.
This extended essay is mainly an attempt to figure out the social attitudes during twenties and
grasp the mood of this enigmatic Jazz Age by enjoying the masterpiece of one of the most
transcendent, peerless American authors-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby.
Moral corruption is the main issue that is covered in this essay and the efficiency of Fitzgerald
in reflecting the collapse of ethical values is focused on
