...could argue, as many have, that Ian's mother had a right to follow the dictates of her religion and that the American legal system has no copyright on ethics. As Stephen Carter wrote in the New York Times on January 31, "Like most parents, I would make a different decision than Ian Lundman's parents did. But a family's religious freedom should not be limited by what other families would...
WASHINGTON, D. C.: The United States filed a complaint with the newly-formed World Trade Organization on Friday, claiming that Japan has cost American entertainment firms hundreds of millions of dollars by abandoning an obligation to respect American copyrights. Adam Zagorin of TIME's Washington bureau reports: "This is a test not only of this particular case, but a test of how the WTO handles complaints." He adds that though this case is not as important as the recently-settled dispute with Japan over auto parts, the U.S. would only bring a complaint this early in the organization's existence...
...article in the Boston Globe on Nov. 24 indicated that Melinda T.

But what can Koyanis mean by the "integrity of the Dickinson work"? My Introduction details a notion of "poetic work" as an open-ended process that one widely respected...
...final point: who is Melinda T. Koyanis (or the Harvard Press, for that matter) to decide the issue of the number of competing printed versions of Emily Dickinson's poetry? Since when has a copyright-and-permission manager or a university press the right to determine universal standards and rules governing such competition among interpretations? A copyright attorney with whom I consulted noted that while the Harvard University Press can decline to give permissions for whatever reasons it pleases, it does not follow that the Press has the authority to interfere with the publication of alternative typographic interpretations of Dickinson...
