SUMMARY:Copyright Enforcement Decision-Making
DESCRIPTION:Kristelia Garcia\, Georgetown University\nIn private law\, private rights of action afford rights holders the authority—but not the obligation—to enforce a claim for remedies against a wrongdoer. This allows different rights holders to make different enforcement decisions in different circumstances and vis-à-vis different wrongdoers. In copyright law\, the enforcement decision can be especially variable. Some copyright owners enforce against one alleged infringer\, while declining to enforce against another. Some copyright owners delegate their enforcement decisions to an algorithm\, which may or may not consistently apply the criteria it is given (and which criteria may or may not comply with legal requirements). Others wield the threat of enforcement to accomplish ends either wholly or largely unrelated to the alleged infringement.  Relatively little scholarly attention has been paid to the enforcement decision-making process. \nPart of the challenge for study in this area is that private rights of action do not require an explanation; copyright owners may elect to enforce\, or forbear\, for a variety of reasons\, or for no reason.  Does enforcement necessarily imply wrongdoing? Does lack of enforcement necessarily suggest no harm? Is infringement necessarily harmful? Should we be as concerned about enforcement abuses in private law as we are in public law? More concerned?  The theory of selective enforcement developed here reveals the underappreciated role that private parties play in policymaking. \nRegister HERE.

SUMMARY:The Future of Philanthropy and Volunteerism in China
DESCRIPTION:Reza Hasmath\, University of Alberta \nChina is experiencing increased socio-economic inequalities and reported social discontent in the 2020s. At the same time\, the Chinese state has reimagined the desired characteristics of a model citizen in the domain of philanthropy and volunteerism. Given the Chinese state’s signaling to suggest that a morally good citizen is one who engages in charity work and volunteerism\, the question remains why do we witness relatively high levels of citizen inaction in this domain? Leveraging data from the 2023 Chinese Altruistic Behaviour Survey\, a national survey conducted by the speaker that develops a socio-psychological profile of the altruistic citizen\, this talk delineates behavioral attributes of the citizenry that accounts for their philanthropic and voluntary action or inaction. The talk further discusses the implications of these findings for the future of state and civil society relations\, and more acutely\, for the state’s strategies for increasing philanthropic and voluntary action amongst the citizenry.

DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, April 28\, at 12 PM in Posvar 4130\, Uriel Simonsohn will present “Harnessing Religion for Social Cohesion: Managing Ethnic Diversity in Haifa.” This presentation will explore the fragility of intercommunal relations in Israel\, particularly in mixed cities\, where economic disparities and social divisions have historically fueled unrest. Drawing comparisons with the events of May 2021\, Simonsohn will highlight the role of interreligious dialogue in mitigating conflict and fostering coexistence. \nUriel Simonsohn is an Associate Professor in the Department of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at the University of Haifa and the founding director of the Haifa Laboratory for Religious Studies (HLRS).
