Hey he stole my work! | Brindley's World
https://theviewsofbrindley.wordpress.com/2015/11/24/hey-he-stole-my-work
Just a guy having a rant. Hey he stole my work! November 24, 2015. I know my number one fan Tracy was, happy birthday by the way! So this week, I thought i’d go into a bit more depth on the area and cover a couple of the things I didn’t last week. Like i said, this area of law is extensive and to be honest a pain in the arse but anyway. Merlet v Mothercare plc [1986] RPC 115. I’m not even sorry for that. Shelley v Rex features [1994] EMLR 135. Sound recordings, films, or broadcasts come under section 5(1...

https://theviewsofbrindley.wordpress.com/2015/12/21/the-media-and-ethics-what-are-those
Just a guy having a rant. The media and ethics – What are those? December 21, 2015. So the time has finally come people, my final blog post on media law. Please, please try and contain your despair, I know it’s emotional but we all knew this day was coming. So what better way to end it than with a discussion on the media and their ethics or lack thereof? That isn’t to say all of the media are soulless leeches but I think there’s more than a few in the industry. I mean, if you ask me, and this may just be...

https://theviewsofbrindley.wordpress.com/2015/11/16/the-law-of-copyright
Just a guy having a rant. November 16, 2015. That’s right, 2 blog posts in 24 hours! In the case of. Interlego AG v Tyco Industries Inc [1989]. The idea must of course be original but ‘original’ is not defined in the statute. Yeah, real helpful guys, way to go! It is therefore down to the courts to decide on what constitutes ‘original’ and they did so in the case of. University of London Press Ltd v University Tutorial Press Ltd [1916]. Merchandising Corp of America v Harpbond [1983]. You are commenting ...

https://theviewsofbrindley.wordpress.com/2015/09
Just a guy having a rant. September 28, 2015. Quick disclaimer before anyone tries to sue me into the ground; none of this is actual legal advice, it is simply me ranting on a weekly basis, that is all. Now that that’s out of the way I should introduce myself I guess. I’ve been told I should avoid putting my name and university on here (partly because of the numerous stalkers and fan girls I have) so I’ll just call myself J and say I’m at a University. Ok that one I do apologise for. The wonderful world ...

Just a guy having a rant. The case of Simms v Channel Xstra. October 27, 2015. So today’s blog post is going to be on the fictional title case of Simms v Channel Xstra that we mooted earlier. Now for those of you new to law, mooting is ‘the oral presentation of a legal issue or problem against an opposing counsel and before a judge.’ Sounds thrilling right? It just gets even more thrilling doesn’t it? The case of Coco v AN Clark Ltd [1968] established 3 conditions for finding a breach of confidence:.

https://theviewsofbrindley.wordpress.com/2015/12/11/the-official-secrets-act-a-cold-war-relic
Just a guy having a rant. The Official Secrets Act -A Cold War relic? December 11, 2015. Now, lets get down to business; the Official Secrets Act 1989 and the title question; is it a Cold War relic? As stated, the information is likely to be leaked or used by those specifically looking in that topic, as opposed to someone who has somehow got their hands on it and has no clue what it pertains to so why not provide the defence of public interest for these whistleblowers and reporters? There does however, s...
