Blue Crimes and International Criminal

Blue Crimes and International Criminal Law

The digital revolution poses a mortal threat to the major creative industries--music, publishing, television, and the movies. The ease with which digital files can be copied and distributed has unleashed a wave of piracy with disastrous effects on revenue. Cheap, easy self-publishing is eroding the position of these gatekeepers and guardians of culture. Does this revolution herald the collapse of culture, as some commentators claim? Far from it. In Digital Renaissance, Joel Waldfogel argues that digital technology is enabling a new golden age of popular culture, a veritable digital renaissance. By reducing the costs of production, distribution, and promotion, digital technology is democratizing access to the cultural marketplace. More books, songs, television shows, and movies are being produced than ever before. Nor does this mean a tidal wave of derivative, poorly produced kitsch; analyzing decades of production and sales data, as well as bestseller and best-of lists, Waldfogel finds that the new digital model is just as successful at producing high-quality, successful work as the old industry model, and in many cases more so. The vaunted gatekeeper role of the creative industries proves to have been largely mythical. The high costs of production have stifled creativity in industries that require ever-bigger blockbusters to cover the losses on ever-more-expensive failures.

"A fresh and provocative take on the Golden Age pirates. Leeson writes with clarity and the depth of his research is impressive."--Colin Woodard, author of The Republic of Pirates"Peter Leeson has brought the economists' toolkit to the Spanish Main. Piracy is not just a great topic for Walt Disney movies, but also an important economic phenomenon. Leeson's excellent book helps us to understand who pirates were, and why they chose their infamous occupation. He uses economics to make sense of walking-the-plank and the Jolly Roger. This is a fun book, but also a volume rich with insights and analysis."--Edward Glaeser, Harvard University"Light of touch and truly eloquent, The Invisible Hook is a terrific read on a fascinating topic. This is a beautifully written book."--Geoffrey Brennan, Duke University and University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

The Hidden Economics of Pirates

The Invisible Hook

Long established as the bible for long-distance cruisers and a bestseller for more than 25 years, World Cruising Routes is the indispensable planning guide to nearly 1,000 sailing routes covering all the oceans of the world from the tropical South Seas to the high latitudes of the Arctic and Antarctic, geared specifically to the needs of cruising sailors. It contains information on the winds, currents, regional and seasonal weather, as well as suggestions about optimum times for individual routes.

This new, fully revised and updated 9th edition assesses how changes around the world (including Brexit and Covid) have affected cruising routes and how climatic change has altered the cruising landscape and necessitated adaptations in timing and route-planning. It provides over 6,000 waypoints to assist skippers in planning individual routes, and is the perfect one-stop reference for planning a cruise anywhere in the world.

'The most important book for long-distance voyagers to come along in decades.'

Why do we think of social struggles as movements? Have struggles been practiced otherwise, not as motion but as interruption, occupation, disturbance, arrest? Looking at three hundred years of Atlantic social struggle kinetically, Mehmet Dosemeci questions the axiomatic association that academics and activists have made between modern social struggles and the category of movement. Dosemeci argues that this movement politics has privileged some forms of historical struggle while obscuring others and, perhaps more damningly, reveals the complicity of social movements in the very forces they oppose. Dosemeci's story begins with the eighteenth-century establishment of a transatlantic regime of movement that coerced goods and bodies into violent and ceaseless motion. He then details the long history of resistance to this regime, interweaving disparate social struggles such as food riots, Caribbean maroon communities, Atlantic pirates, secret societies and syndicalism, the student New Left, Black Power, radical feminism, Operaismo, and the Zapatistas into a history of politics as disruption. Dosemeci convincingly argues that this history is key to understanding the resurgence of disruptive politics in the twenty-first century and offers valuable guidance for future struggles seeking to overturn an ever-intensifying regime of movement.

The History of Disruption

Economics and Finance (R0)

&lt;p&gt;Counterfeit products represent a growing problem for a wide range of industries. There are many estimates of the size of this problem most of which coalesce around $500-billion annually on a global basis. Overall, a wide range of industries agree that there is a severe problem with the global protection of intellectual property rights (IPR), yet, there have been virtually no attempts to describe all aspects of the problem. This book aims at giving the most complete description of various characteristics of the intellectual property rights (IPR) environment in a global context. The authors believe a holistic understanding of the problem must include consumer complicity to purchase counterfeit, actions of the counterfeiters (pirates) as well as actions (or inaction) by home and host governments, and the role of international organizations and industry alliances. Only after establishing how all the actors in the IPR environment relate to one another can we describe global protection of the intellectual property rights environment and the managerial response of IPR owners and/or industry associations to combat this ongoing problem. The book concludes with pragmatic recommendations for protecting intellectual property given the recent trends discussed in the previous chapters, making it of interest to practitioners and policy-makers alike.&lt;/p&gt;

From events at Nuremberg and Tokyo after World War II, to the recent trials of Slobodan Milošević and Saddam Hussein, war crimes trials are an increasingly pervasive feature of the aftermath of conflict. In his new book, Law, War and Crime, Gerry Simpson explores the meaning and effect of such trials, and places them in their broader political and cultural contexts. The book traces the development of the war crimes field from its origins in the outlawing of piracy to its contemporary manifestation in the establishment of the International Criminal Court in The Hague.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;Simpson argues that the field of war crimes is constituted by a number of tensions between, for example, politics and law, local justice and cosmopolitan reckoning, collective guilt and individual responsibility, and between the instinct that war, at worst, is an error and the conviction that war is a crime.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Written in the wake of an extraordinary period in the life of the law, the book asks a number of critical questions. What does it mean to talk about war in the language of the criminal law? What are the consequences of seeking to criminalise the conduct of one's enemies? How did this relatively new phenomenon of putting on trial perpetrators of mass atrocity and defeated enemies come into existence? This book seeks to answer these important questions whilst shedding new light on the complex relationship between law, war and crime.&lt;/p&gt;

<div>"By putting the spotlight on the concerted and undisclosed actions of intermediaries in disabling those websites that illicitly trade in counterfeit goods, Natasha Tusikov raises important questions about the global governance of online transactions as well as much larger questions about the relationship between public and private law enforcement in our surveillance societies. Chokepoints is a terrific book."—Roger Brownsword, King's College London "This is an eye-opening book that everyone concerned about the future of the internet, the power of corporations to regulate, due process of law, accountability, and circumvention of democratic processes should read. Chokepoints is a timely intervention into contemporary concerns over surveillance, overbearing corporate power, and increasing concerns that our political process is for sale to the highest bidder."—Susan K. Sell, author of&nbsp;Private Power, Public Law: The Globalization of Intellectual Property Rights</div>

The Future of Shipping Law

This book examines how the shipping industry is responding to the commercial challenges caused by geopolitical risk. Geopolitical volatility in the modern world is generating physical and economic obstacles that are disrupting shipping activities and causing disputes that raise fundamental questions of commercial law. Studying this phenomenon by exploring common themes among varied dimensions of business disruption, the book first surveys physical disruption to shipping activities across the categories of war, unrest and piracy. It then turns to the purely economic disruption caused by sanctions and alternative forms of statecraft deployed in' 'trade wars'. The book examines each of these categories by highlighting geopolitical and regulatory context, assessing industry adaptations, and analysing cross-jurisdictional case law to gather insight into the contractual rights and responsibilities impacted by these scenarios. Assessing solutions - including the development of bespoke contract clauses and the application of broader principles of illegality, impossibility, frustration, and force majeure - the book demonstrates that this rapidly evolving area of international commercial law demands a readiness to borrow analytical approaches across categories of business disruption. With industry participants, courts, arbitrators and scholars in mind, the book provides a contemporary perspective on the geopolitical challenges affecting shipping through a distinctive commercial law lens.

A captivating and swashbuckling romantasy for fans of DAUGHTER OF THE PIRATE KING and TO KILL A KINGDOM. Ximena Reale is certain of one thing: the only good pirate is a dead one. Ximena has spent her life training to become one of the black-cloaked cazadores, seafaring hunters who capture the pirates pillaging the Luzan Empire. But although Ximena is the top candidate at la academia, that will not be enough for a daughter of the notorious Reales - pirate captains who were executed for their crimes against the Empire. So when Gasparilla, the most infamous pirate in Luza's history, attacks the capital, Ximena offers to catch him in exchange for being named a cazadora. The Empire accepts, on one condition: she must compete for her cloak against Dante de León, the pompous and infuriating son of the High Minister. Knowing this is her chance to prove herself once and for all, Ximena must set out on a dangerous quest across the archipelago to hunt Gasparilla. But no matter how far she sails, her family's pirate legacy continues to haunt her, and she soon has to question the very laws she's always fought to uphold . . .

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2007 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, grade: A+, London Business School, course: Global Business Environment, language: English, abstract: China position as the world leader in economic growth has been accompanied by the disregard of existing intellectual property rights (IPR) observed by most of the developed western countries. In this paper, we will discuss the value of strong IPR enforcement to mature economies vs. developing nations and where China lies on the economic maturity scale. While the legal frameworks are improving with Chinäs entry into the WTO, effective enforcement is far from satisfactory. The challenges focus around protectionism, corruption and cultural issues amongst others. The evidence shows an economy in transition that currently has little domestic motivation to enforce IPR rigorously. 
China faces significant international pressure to reform its practices surrounding IPR. The differing perspectives on IPR reflect the relative maturity of a nation¿s economy. Developed countries rely heavily upon individuals, educational systems and commercial enterprises to continuously innovate. It is therefore natural for these nations to seek protection, preserving their competitive advantage and maximizing the value they can extract from the resulting innovation. China is a vast country trying to balance the prosperity and relative wealth of its 500 million coastal dwellers against the poverty of the 800 million living in the interior. This represents a great challenge for the government in balancing their long-term objective of transforming the economy vs. the short-term priorities of social equality, employment and the avoidance of civil un-rest. 
The rate of reform exhibited on IPR issues will be directly tied to the speed of emergence of Chinese firms capable of patentable innovation. A new generation of technology companies, entrepreneurs and designers will increasingly demand protection for their own IPR. We explore IPR issues in China across two broad industry groupings: ¿Research oriented¿ and ¿Design oriented¿. Research oriented industries require high level of skills and tend to be capital intensive. Design oriented industries while requiring high skills, are not capital intensive and reveal rampant counterfeiting &amp; piracy. Foreign firms try to protect their goods through security, quality &amp; bundling service components with products, making them hard to replicate. Success is varied and in these sectors it appears as if counterfeiting and piracy is a price for market access and a low cost manufacturing base.

Intellectual property protection: Problems and prospects for China

From the clubs of New York’s Lower East Side to the warehouses of Williamsburg—a time that changed music, and the city, forever.As the twentieth century drew to a close, New York City felt played out as a cultural capital. A flood of new money had turned downtown into a museum of what used to be cool, a playground for bankers and the dot-com crowd. If you wanted the rock-and-roll life, New York City was the last place you’d move. And yet, in the decade that followed, it would serve as the stage for a radical pop-cultural renaissance. How exactly did this happen?&nbsp;In this riveting oral history told by those who were actually there, playing the music, pouring the drinks, signing the checks, and writing the cover stories, journalist Lizzy Goodman chronicles the rebirth of New York rock. In the early 2000s, the Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, the Moldy Peaches, LCD Soundsystem, and others, who had been honing their craft in obscurity, suddenly became reflections of a newly flush, newly booming town determined to recover from the devastation of September 11. As kids around the world began to dress like they’d been thrifting on Avenue A, it became clear that New York had not only reclaimed its signature rock-and-roll swagger, but had also exported this new incarnation of American cool globally. A second generation was eagerly waiting in the wings: Franz Ferdinand, the Killers, and Kings of Leon, who’d all but given up on breaking out of their provincial corners of the world, got the message that rock was back, and used grotty New York clubs as launching pads on their way to selling out arenas around the world.&nbsp;Meet Me in the Bathroom explores how during this era the music industry was dismantled and then reborn via technology—first by Napster and later iTunes—and how traditional publications like Rolling Stone and Spin were pushed to compete with evangelist bloggers typing feverishly in their underwear, as well as with edgier journalistic upstarts like Vice and Pitchfork. Meanwhile, as the reshaping of the city—technological, aesthetic, cultural, and physical—spread from downtown Manhattan to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, bands like MGMT, Vampire Weekend, TV on the Radio, Grizzly Bear, and Dirty Projectors became the new stars, remaking the idea of New York in their own nerdy image, and helping ensure “I heart Brooklyn” would become the mantra of a new generation.&nbsp;Crafted from nearly two hundred original interviews and curated by a writer who remembers the hangovers herself, Meet Me in the Bathroom follows in the great tradition of the beloved classic Please Kill Me by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain. Charting the first decade of the 2000s in all its epic and reckless glory, here is a brilliant portrait of a city, an industry, and a generation on the verge of seismic change.
