Give an example of an executive order.

Question 2

Discuss the issues of interpretation in the Grokster and YouTube cases.

[FergA]

Answer to Question 1

The book gives several examples such as executive branch agencies being required to first try alternative dispute resolution, the gag rule on abortion counseling, ban on federal funds for abortion, the classification of executive branch documents and the use of minority workers in federal contracting. Others that are topical and in the news include the use of federal funds for stem-cell research and the declaration of national preserves.

Answer to Question 2

The issues of interpretation are whether the copyright protection extends to different technological uses of copyrighted material and whether individual use of copyrighted materials constituted fair use when that individual use was so wide spread. The cases are both ones that involve questions that would never have arisen had there not been new forms of technology.
