In this article, we will describe the uneven conditions in which dance practices are being extracted and circulated by looking at how online gaming platforms have digitised and commodified human movement. The study of these controversial cases contextualised within the legal aspects of dance copyright are the basis to offer speculative courses for both dance practitioners. The first section explores the issues of digitisation and ownership of bodily movement within virtual spaces by looking at notions of disembodiment and dance as a commodifiable object. The second section illustrates the complexities of copyrighting choreography through a critique on how intellectual property regimes disregard collective and social practices. Finally, we will present alternatives for dance practitioners going forward by looking at how to protect dance as a digital object; the current initiatives to engage dancers with technological affordances; and the decentralising potential of blockchain networks to build new collaborative landscapes for the circulation of creativity.

Статья посвящена анализу организационно-правовых аспектов реализации прав интеллектуальной собственности лиц, осужденных к лишению свободы. Рассмотрен сложившийся опыт, особое внимание уделяется проблемным вопросам реализации осужденными личных неимущественных и исключительных интеллектуальных прав: связанным с приобретением права интеллектуальной собственности, затруднениям осуществления интеллектуальных прав, вызванным режимными требованиями. Творческая деятельность человека - одно из самых эффективных средств исправления, по мнению автора, поскольку именно она является высшей сознательной деятельностью. Поэтому необходимо поощрять и развивать в исправительных учреждениях данный вид деятельности, всемерно содействовать ее реализации. Предлагается создавать в исправительных учреждениях кроме уже имеющихся ресурсов специальные лаборатории, мастерские и т. п. центры для реализации творческой, в том числе научно-творческой потребности осужденных. При необходимости всячески содействовать осужденным при реализации процедуры получения патента. Кроме того, в рамках правового просвещения осужденных необходимо информировать о возможностях реализации авторского или патентного права в рамках имущественных отношений. This article is devoted to analysis of legal aspects of implementation of intellectual property rights of persons sentenced to deprivation of liberty. Abstract: the experience, a special attention is paid to the problematic issues of implementation of convicted persons of exceptional moral and intellectual rights: associated with the acquisition of intellectual property rights, difficulties in the implementation of intellectual property rights, caused by the regime requirements. Human creativity is one of the most effective means of correction, in the author's opinion, as it is the higher conscious activity. It is therefore necessary to promote and develop in correctional institutions this activity, to contribute fully to its implementation. It is proposed to establish in correctional institutions in addition to the existing resources of the special laboratories, workshops, etc. centers for the implementation of creative, including research and creative needs of prisoners. If necessary to fully support the convict in the implementation of the procedure of obtaining a patent. In addition, the legal education of prisoners should be informed about the possibilities of implementation of copyright or patent rights in the framework of property relations.

This essay considers what tools should be used to study the legal history of intellectual property. I identify three historiographical strategies: narration, contest, and formation. Narration identifies the diverse “narrative structures” that shape the field of intellectual property history. Contest highlights how the inherent instability of intellectual property as a legal concept prompts recurrent debates over its meaning. Formation recognizes how intellectual property historians can offer insight into broader legal history debates over how to consider the relationship between informal social practices and formalized legal mechanisms. I consider Kara W. Swanson's Banking on the Body: The Market in Blood, Milk and Sperm in Modern America (2014) in light of these historiographical strategies and conclude that Swanson's book guides us to a new conversation in the legal history of intellectual property law.

We meta-analyze the influence of various forms of embeddedness and proximity on interorganizational tie formation with a dataset that encompasses 256,529 ties from 73 studies. First, we uncover the unparalleled importance of relational embeddedness, while the influence of structural and positional embeddedness turns out to be highly dependent on the context. Second, we show that various forms of proximity positively influence tie formation and have unique explanatory power in addition to the embeddedness dimensions. Last, we explore to what extent these effects are contingent on the type of tie, resource munificence, status orientation, level of individuality, and intellectual property regimes. Our study introduces a preliminary contingency theory of interorganizational tie formation and provides directions for future research.

How is the movement of bodies recorded, traced, captured? How is the perception of movement decomposed, analyzed, and then reconstructed through signs, lines, and diagrams? This article traces how, with the help of engineers and collaborators, Etienne-Jules Marey’s self-styled “graphic method” innovated upon existing instruments and photographic apparatuses in order to capture not just the movement of horses’ legs but something of the biomechanical essence of animal movement through the technique of “chronophotographie.” Although inspired by Edward Muybridge’s photographs of horses in motion, for Marey the photographs were not the end result. What he achieved were new ways of transcribing the phenomena of bodily motion. Unlike previous physiologists who thrived on vivisection in the laboratory, Marey took ever greater pains to examine the principles of animal movement in the wild, and built an open-air “station physiologique” in a Parisian park for this purpose. One legacy of Marey’s chronophotographic technique was in the documentation and dissection of human movement, and became acknowledged precursors of the wave of Taylorism which would sweep industrial research in the early 20th century. But another legacy is the capacity to transcribe the phenomena of movement into other forms, externalizing perception across other media.

The healthcare industry is being impacted by advances in information technology in four major ways: first, a broad spectrum of tasks that were previously done manually can now be performed by computers; second, some tasks can be outsourced to other countries using inexpensive communications technology; third, longitudinal and societal healthcare data can now be analyzed in acceptable periods of time; and fourth, the best medical expertise can sometimes be made available without the need to transport the patient to the doctor or vice versa. The healthcare industry will increasingly use a portfolio approach comprised of three closely-coordinated components seamlessly interwoven together: healthcare tasks performed by humans on-site; healthcare tasks performed by humans off-site, including tasks performed in other countries; and healthcare tasks performed by computers without direct human involvement. Finally, this chapter deals with intellectual property and legal aspects related to the three-pronged healthcare services paradigm.
