		<description><![CDATA[ABSTRACT: While the government’s encouragement—and even reliance—on third-party monitoring of citizens is not a new phenomenon, the emergency exception to the SCA adopted in the Patriot Act oversteps constitutional bounds by providing the executive with the incentive to exaggerate potential threats in order to gain the collaboration of the telecommunications companies. The policies underlying this strategy [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ledger.nyu-ipels.org&blog=8690498&post=410&subd=ipels&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The music of the artist known as Girl Talk consists of hundreds of pre-existing samples taken without permission from popular songs. As Girl Talk becomes more prominent, lawyers, journalists and bloggers have entered the debate regarding whether the use of pre-existing samples from copyrighted works is a "fair use" as defined in the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976. This Article analyzes the merits of the "fair use" argument in light of sparse and largely unsympathetic case law regarding music sampling and ultimately concludes that Girl Talk's use of pre-existing samples fails to qualify as a "fair use." The Article further proposes an amendment to the Copyright Act that would enable Girl Talk to record legally while fairly compensating the owners of the sampled works.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ledger.nyu-ipels.org&blog=8690498&post=103&subd=ipels&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The proper contrast is between protection of authorship versus protection of reputation.
