Copyright Termination of Transfer

Hi My friends.I read a interesting article about recent changes in copyright in U.S that can be useful for you to know it. so I'd like to share it with you. I hope we can brush up our knowledge about many topics around cyberlaw which in light of this knowledge may we be able to avoid some troubles and handle our business at the best. I hope so.
Copyright Law has changed in both scope and length of copyright provisions. It originally was 14 years with a possibilities of a renewal of 14 years. It changed to be 28 years for initial term and then another 28 year renewal term. Congress then added 19 years and then another 20, eventually creating a system of dual term copyrights. Today we have a unitary term system based for most works on the life of the author plus 70 years. That dual term system is actually related to one of the types of termination rights that are currently in the Copyright Act. Damien Allen and Lydia Loren discuss the challenges and the provisions of Copyright Transfer Terminations on today's program.
•The Copyright Act gives authors and their families certain rights to terminate agreements
•Section 203 Termination Rights of the Copyright Act, in Title 17 of the United States Code are for agreements entered into after the 1976 Copyright Act, effective January 1, 1978. For 203 terminations, you can terminate an agreement entered into by an author 35 years after the date of the agreement.
•Section 304 terminations relate to the lengthening of copyright terms of agreements that were entered into before the effective date of the 1976 Act.

A domain name owner last year won his expenses in a cybersquatting case in federal court. Domain Name Wire reports that Neon Network has been awarded its expenses after it won a default judgment in a declaratory judgment action under the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act in Arizona. Aspis Liv Forsakrings, an insurance company, originally filed a cybersquatting case under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy against Neon Network with the World Intellectual Property Organization. WIPO found that Neon had registered the domain name in bad faith, and the aspis.com domain name was transferred to Aspis.

Neon Network then filed a declaratory judgment action in Arizona asking the court to determine that it had not violated the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. The judge issued a default judgment against Aspis and awarded Neon $1,547. The judgment can be viewed here, courtesy of Domain Name Wire.

What Is Cyberstalking?

Stalking generally involves harassing or threatening behavior that an individual engages in repeatedly, such as following a person, appearing at a person's home or place of business, making harassing phone calls, leaving written messages or objects, or vandalizing a person's property. Most stalking laws require that the perpetrator make a credible threat of violence against the victim; others include threats against the victim's immediate family; and still others require only that the alleged stalker's course of conduct constitute an implied threat. While some conduct involving annoying or menacing behavior might fall short of illegal stalking, such behavior may be a prelude to stalking and violence and should be treated seriously.
What To Do If You Are Being Cyberstalked

If you are receiving unwanted contact, make clear to that person that you would like him or her not to contact you again.
Save all communications for evidence. Do not edit or alter them in any way. Also, keep a record of your contacts with Internet system administrators or law enforcement officials.
You may want to consider blocking or filtering messages from the harasser. Many e-mail programs such as Eudora and Microsoft Outlook have a filter feature, and software can be easily obtained that will automatically delete e-mails from a particular e-mail address or that contain offensive words.
