We are approaching the end of December, it's time to think about gifts and 2007th So what can we expect in the legal field for the next year?
Forecasts virtually everything in the future is a risky endeavor is. Okay, I think I'm safely predicting the sun will be tomorrow. After all, I am hard to hear no objection, if it is not. In examining the laws of certain events, predictions are a little doubtful, but some general trends can be foreseen.
When it comes to the right, everything starts with the Supreme Court. 2006 was a relatively quiet year on the court with some revolutionary decisions. The reason? The change of the guard, when it comes to the Justices. We have a new Chief Justice and Associate Justice, also are known for their conservative views. Although 2006 was quiet, Justices also lived up to its conservative reputation, the us an idea of what comes in 2007.
The coming year will be one of the small and large changes in the law of the country. With the appointment of Chief Justice Roberts and Associate Justice Alito, the court has focused on the right side. The swing vote on many cases, now Justice Kennedy, who leans to the conservative side of the scale. This is equally in decisions affecting the rights of individuals, increases the authority of the federal limits and the regulation of the economy. Button on the hot topic of abortion, it is likely that the Court of the boundaries for Roe v. Wade, rather than simply overturning, but a complete reversal of the decision is certainly possible.
Away from the court, the other area of law, we are likely to see significant changes in intellectual property. Intellectual property law is case law and statutes that deal with the economy, intangible assets, but valuable. These include areas such as copyright, trademark and patent law. Forefront in the battle will be the continued development, how these issues translate to the Internet. It can be expected, in particular, to see a lot of complaints, the YouTube.
YouTube is of course one side, the people to watch videos. The site is very popular and was recently acquired by Google. With deep financial pockets, there is now a target for litigation concerning the issues related to the breach of copyright and trademark. More precisely, the problem will be how to translate these rights, and videos of people on YouTube, they do not own. For example, what is the responsibility of the YouTube posts, if someone a music video or something? In practice, we are looking at Napster any scenario process again and again, but this time with video.
Of course, the legal arena is a huge one. There are many different areas of law, and everyone will in 2007 be amended. Apart from that, a conservative pull back on the applicable law is to be expected in the Supreme Court decisions, and the application of intellectual property law to the net should be the most volatile in the coming year.
