Kay J: The Law Relating to Ship Masters
and Seamen

The Law Relating to Ship Masters and Seamen

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.

Getting Unstuck in Learning Design is your practical guide for those gray areas where many learning designers stall. You will learn to navigate ambiguity and shift priorities seamlessly in your day-to-day learning design work. Expert learning experience designer Melissa Milloway leads you through how to:
<ul><li>Find your spark and turn it into momentum.</li>
<li>Identify the right problem.</li>
<li>Determine where to focus your time and energy.</li>
<li>Use iterative design to test ideas, build credibility, and earn buy-in over time.</li>
</ul>
Whether you’re stuck on a specific project, stuck in routines that no longer serve you, or stuck wondering how to grow in your role, Milloway offers methods to create clarity and momentum. This book will help you think and act like a designer—more curious, adaptive, and willing to move forward before all the details are clear.

This is the updated and expanded edition of the only radical, multidisciplinary, international introduction to intellectual property in its socio-economic contexts. Bringing together voices from law, sociology, economics, political science, and cultural studies from across the Global North and Global South, experts and activists Mat Callahan and Jim Rogers offer a detailed history and analysis of IP before asking critical questions designed to underscore its importance in the broader struggle between capital and the commons. What are the broader implications of IP, whether for agribusiness, pharmaceuticals, education, or entertainment? Is IP law a fundamental pillar of our culture, or has it been used to protect and assert the ownership of, and thus limit, the spread of ideas and creativity? With a chapter structure moving from historical and theoretical foundations to industry-specific conflicts and policy analysis, this book covers the breadth and depth of IP areas, including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, as well as emerging issues such as digital rights and biotechnology. Key features include: - voluminous, up-to-date case studies, both Western and non-Western; - an extensive, jargon-busting list of abbreviations of specialized or technical terms; - a new chapter on copyright and socialism; - revisions and updates accounting for the seismic impacts of artificial intelligence. This is a foundational must-read for all researchers, students, and activists interested in critical analyses of IP laws and policies--not just their legal frameworks, but also their broader social, economic, and political implications.

Lead with humanity and end the era of management mediocrity. If you've ever vowed to be a better boss than the ones you've had, this book is for you. James (J.R.) Lowry and Daniela De Luca provide an essential roadmap for first-time managers and emerging leaders who refuse to repeat decades of management mediocrity. Drawing on Lowry's experience as a former US Air Force officer, McKinsey partner, and C-suite executive and De Luca's research on career advancement, this comprehensive guide shows how ditching outdated command-and-control habits-and leading with empathy instead-unlocks stronger performance, trust, and engagement in today's teams. Nearly 70 percent of American workers are disengaged, according to Gallup-a clear sign that traditional management approaches are no longer working. In response, Lowry and De Luca offer a practical framework that balances the art and science of management. They reveal the most common misconceptions and mistakes managers make, explain how the manager's role is evolving, and address the mental and emotional preparation required to lead well (even on hard days). Through concrete, actionable practices, Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had shows you how to manage with humanity, both in team practices like delegation and coaching, and in challenges such as office politics and burnout. The result is higher team engagement, stronger productivity, and a workplace culture where people can genuinely thrive. Becoming the leader you always wanted to work for is within your reach. With a relatable blend of research, stories, and advice, Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had is a clarion call to move beyond the "management meh" that plagues many organizations worldwide. J.R. Lowry and Daniela De Luca invite leaders to reclaim the human element of their work and, in doing so, change their own lives and the lives of those they lead.
