IP scholars are not familiar with criminal law, nor are criminal law scholars familiar with IP law; Criminal Enforcement of Intellectual Property in Asia: Sources, Significance, and Side-Effects delves into this no man's land. It identifies and addresses the use (or overuse) of criminal punishment for protecting IP rights, a long-overlooked aspect of IP law that is shaping and distorting the IP landscape in Asia. This is in stark contrast to leading Western jurisdictions, whose criminal punishment of IP infringement, while provided for, is rarely enforced. The overarching theme of this book is to critically review the rationale, legitimacy, and effectiveness of criminalizing IP infringement; assess its significance; expose its consequences; and propose suggestions for reform. The volume is divided into five parts. It starts with criminological discussion of IP crimes, followed by five chapters that study the sources and models of criminal punishment of IP infringement, namely international treaties, the US, UK, Germany, and the EU. It then surveys six major civil-law Asian jurisdictions (Japan, Taiwan, Korea, China, Thailand, and Vietnam) and four major common-law Asian jurisdictions (India, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Singapore). These studies have been organized according to the chronological order in which each jurisdiction introduced criminal punishment of IP infringement, with each chapter following a common structure. The volume concludes with a comparative study, policy analysis, including rethinking the criminal sanctions against the background of generative AI and the evolution of IP, and reform suggestions for leading IP jurisdictions, Asian jurisdictions, and the WTO community. Comprehensive and timely, Criminal Enforcement of Intellectual Property in Asia provides readers in Asia and beyond with valuable insights into why and how different regimes use criminal sanctions, their significance, and side-effects in an era shaped by rapid technological developments such as generative AI.

Criminal Intellectual Property Enforcement in Asia

An unprecedented dialogue between a long-term federal prisoner and a senior prison official reveals how America’s carceral system scars everyone it touches.
No One Gets Out Unscarred argues that the prison system fails not only those it incarcerates, but also the staff who work inside it and the communities to which most will return. Rather than opposing prisoners and correctional officers, it shows how their lives are shaped by the same punitive culture, institutional incentives, and political decisions.
At its center is an extraordinary exchange between two men on opposite sides of the bars: Robert Barton, incarcerated since adolescence in high-security federal prisons, and Jack Donson, a retired Bureau of Prisons official who rose from correctional officer to case manager. Drawn from more than fifty hours of interviews, their interwoven accounts reveal a system that brutalizes prisoners while eroding staff morale, health, and judgment.
Moving beyond exposés and redemption narratives, the book examines the everyday mechanics of incarceration—lockdowns, restrictive housing, medical neglect, mental-health failures, broken grievance systems, and the hollow promise of rehabilitation—through lived experience on both sides.
Rejecting both abolitionist polemic and law-and-order defenses, it asks a pragmatic question: if more than 95 percent of incarcerated people will return home, what kind of prison system actually serves society?

No One Gets Out Unscarred

An Introduction to Approach of Advocates on Art of Cross Examination in Trial Courts is an essential primer for law students, junior advocates, and seasoned practitioners looking to refine their skills in the "line of fire." Written by Amaresh Patel and Namisha Ojha, this book deconstructs the complex, high-stakes world of trial court litigation.
Cross-examination is often described as the ultimate test of a lawyer's wit, preparation, and intuition. Patel and Ojha move beyond abstract legal theories to provide a practical, ground-level roadmap for navigating the nuances of witness testimony.
Whether you are preparing for your first trial or seeking to sharpen your ability to discredit testimony and elicit favorable facts, this book serves as an indispensable mentor. It transforms the daunting task of cross-examination into a calculated art form, empowering advocates to advocate with precision, purpose, and power.

Smith and Monkcom on the Law of Gambling

Dans cet essai, l'auteur propose une analyse lucide et engagée des fondements de l'entrepreneuriat africain, en plaçant les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) au cœur des stratégies de développement du continent. Véritables piliers des économies africaines, les PME contribuent massivement à la création d'emplois, à l'innovation locale et à la résilience sociale, tout en demeurant confrontées à des obstacles structurels persistants. L'essai démontre que les politiques de promotion de l'entrepreneuriat, longtemps construites selon une logique institutionnelle descendante, peinent à produire des effets durables. Trop souvent, les entrepreneurs sont perçus comme de simples bénéficiaires de dispositifs d'aide, alors qu'ils devraient être reconnus comme des acteurs centraux et des co-concepteurs des stratégies publiques. Cette marginalisation freine l'autonomie entrepreneuriale et limite l'impact réel des politiques de soutien. S'appuyant sur une analyse rigoureuse des réalités économiques africaines, l'auteur met en lumière les spécificités juridiques, sociales et culturelles des PME, souvent ignorées par des cadres normatifs importés et inadaptés. Il plaide pour une refondation des politiques de promotion, fondée sur l'éducation entrepreneuriale, l'appropriation d'une idéologie de croissance adaptée aux contextes locaux et la mise en place d'un environnement juridique sécurisé. L'essai insiste également sur l'importance de l'accompagnement post-création et du renforcement des structures d'incubation, afin de permettre aux entrepreneurs de surmonter les difficultés liées à la mise en œuvre de leurs projets. À cet égard, l'émergence d'un droit spécifique aux PME en Afrique apparaît comme une perspective incontournable pour favoriser la formalisation, la croissance et la pérennité des entreprises. En définitive, cet essai invite décideurs publics, entrepreneurs et partenaires au développement à repenser en profondeur les politiques de promotion de l'entrepreneuriat africain, afin d'en faire un véritable moteur de transformation durable, d'innovation et de croissance inclusive au service du continent.

De l'Autonomie à la Transformation des Politiques de Promotion

Essai sur l'Entrepreneuriat Africain

In a movement-defining book, the "godmother of the current moment of dissatisfaction with establishment politics" (The New York Times) tells the story of the rising anti-monopoly movement and charts a course to a democratic future In a short, sharp political book, The Nation magazine's "Anti-Monopolist" columnist and "a prophet of the resurgent left" (Franklin Foer) explains the battle between the forces of oligarchy and the rise of the new anti-monopoly movement. Using the stories of modern anti-monopoly heroes including Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan; blueberry farmer Hugh Kent, who turned his battle with Driscoll's into a farmers' movement; and Doha Mekki, the daughter of a Sudanese asylum seeker who took on Google and won; Teachout explains how anti-monopoly cuts across traditional political lines and gives real teeth to economic populism.Teachout, a scholar of the law of democracy and a politician whose run for governor of New York State shocked the political establishment, argues that monopoly is the architecture of private tyranny, and that breaking corporate power is essential to building a new democracy. From AI to agriculture, healthcare to energy, Americans understand that corporate concentration doesn't just cause inequality; it organizes power. Anti-Monopoly gives that feeling a name, a history, and a way forward. After a spate of books out of the Abundance movement arguing that we need to remove local democracy and focus on efficiency at scale, this book provides a sharp counterpoint.

Fraud: A Practitioner's Handbook

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Traditionally, the presence of pornography in American society has been mediated by two primary factors: legal restrictions and the relatively high cost of the product. The degree of legal restrictions on adult material has varied from era to era and community to community, but the porn premium has remained relatively constant. Given this, these should be heady days for adult business owners. Thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are virtually nil and even the most hardcore content is easily accessible in the smallest coastal hamlet and most rural farmhouse in America. Adult industry balance sheets should be bulging with profit. But in reality, far from it. The World Wide Web has completely eradicated both the legal restrictions and premium cost that used to govern adult industry economics. To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge thousands of eager subscribers premium prices. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes with a detailed analysis of the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button.Accessible to the general reader, this book will appeal to those who want to know more about the adult entertainment industry in America and will prove useful reading for students and researchers involved with a wide variety of academic disciplines including business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.
