Filantropia locale e community foundations: la circolazione del modello americano nel sistema giuridico italiano
No full textLe community foundations rappresentano, nel mare magnum della filantropia statunitense, gli enti senza scopo di lucro che hanno segnato, nel corso degli ultimi decenni, il più rapido tasso di sviluppo.
I motivi di questa ascesi sono molteplici – e saranno affrontati nel prosieguo –, ma sono riconducibili, essenzialmente, all’assenza di enti non-profit operanti in (e per) un territorio specifico.
Da un punto di vista comparatistico, le fondazioni comunitarie rappresentano un’ipotesi interessante di circolazione di un modello: difatti, questi enti, sorti nel sistema nordamericano, hanno trovato un rapido sviluppo, dapprima in alcuni sistemi appartenenti alla medesima famiglia giuridica (Inghilterra, Canada, Nuova Zelanda) e, successivamente, in alcune aree di civil law (tra cui la Germania, il Messico e l’Italia)

The New Italian Regulation on Copyright Enforcement: Comparative and Critical Remarks
No full textAt the end of December the Italian Communications Authority (Agcom) unan- imously approved a new regulation on copyright enforcement for on-line infringements. This Reg- ulation, which does not imitate any previous European or US legislation, holds a specific procedure which can be used by copyright holders in case of infringements of the so-called digital works. The paper provides a legal analysis of this new Regulation, remarking the most relevant issues, with spe- cific reference to the right to defense and to the balance of different interests of ISPs and IPRs holders. The last section of the article underlines the main differences between the Agcom solu- tions and the Frech Hadopi law, also dealing with the lack of European harmonization which could be caused by the single national regulations

Old Economy v. New Economy: Intellectual Property, Global Wrongs and Private Remedies
Full text linkDuring the last decade both US and Europe have regulated internet service providers liability (hereinafter referred to as ISPs). In 1998, the Congress has approved the Digital Millennium Copy-
right Act (DMCA) which has modied the Copyright Act of 1976, stating that ISPs are not liable
if their activity is limited to a mere technical role which consists in transmitting information on digital networks.The same inspiration has been followed by the E-commerce directive (directive 2001/31/EC) which has imitated, verbatim in some cases, the American law.Two are the main differences among these laws. Firstly, the DMCA covers exclusively copyright infringements, while e-commerce directive can be applied both to criminal and civil liabilities. The latter difference is that e-commerce directive is limited to some activities developed by ISPs
(mere conduit; caching; hosting), while the DMCA also regulates liability of search engines (like
Google) and hyperlinks.The DMCA as well as the EU directive is based on the neutrality principle: ISPs are not liable as long as they do not select contents or recipients of the information transmitted. The most remark-able issue, however, is probably the fact that both regulations have refused to apply strict liability to ISPs.Starting from these regulations, the paper will analyze some examples of private regulations. It
will be specically examined YouTube’s Video ID and eBay’s Vero Program, probably the most
relevant examples of cooperation between ISPs and IP holders, and the recent cases which has involved these tools in US, Spain, France and Italy.The paper aims at demonstrating that IP violations are not the crucial matter of these legal ac-
tions, which reects a clash between different business models.Private remedies for IP violations, even if efcient, have not reached their goals. The reason is
probably extralegal and is given by the fact that new economy services are attracting customers
in the entertainment sector from traditional media (people watching YouTube rather than TV pro
-grams) and are diverting luxury brands consumers from traditional shops (people buying luxury products on eBay rather than on local dealers)
