A Hypothetical Non-Infringing Network: An Examination of the Efficacy of Safe Harbor in Section 512(C) of the DMCA
This iBrief will present a hypothetical network that allows dissidents to transfer information outside the watchful eye of an oppressive government. It will argue that because a network operator meets the requirements of the safe harbor of section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the hosts of the network are immune from any vicarious copyright liability

The use of differentiating communication tools to attract and retain different generational cohorts: case of a commercial bank in South Africa.
Published ThesisIt is inconceivable for any organisation to think that communicating with all of its
clients using the same communications tools would make these clients more loyal.
The problem of using the right tools of communication becomes more complex when
the organisation deals with different generations. Previous scholars have
emphasised the importance of Customer Relationship Management (CRM), both as
a business philosophy and as part of an organisation’s IT systems to attract and
retain clients. The IT systems are put in place so that clients can easily communicate
with the organisation and vice versa. The CRM business philosophy is meant to
change the method of dealing with clients as a top-down approach. This means top
management will create the type of environment in the organisation that positions the
needs of customers first.
The primary objective of this study was to investigate the use of different
communication tools by a commercial bank to attract and retain clients from different
generations. The researcher identified four different branches from the same commercial bank in Bloemfontein to conduct the study. The location of these
branches in and around Malls was important because it allowed the researcher to
get a wide variety of different clients of the bank. A total of 50 clients of the bank per
branch were asked to complete a questionnaire. The statistical calculations that were
used were frequency tables, cross tables, McNemar test and the Chi-Square test.
The research findings revealed that respondents from both generations made use of
a variety of traditional and modern communication tools that were given in the
questionnaire. It also indicates that this commercial bank at times utilises the wrong
communication tools to communicate with these two cohorts, whether it is traditional
or modern communication tools. The usage of each specific traditional and modern
communication tool is also important. The results indicate that the usage of the
specific communication tools for both traditional and modern communication tools
vary during the course of the day. This is true for both generational cohort
respondents. Based on the findings of this empirical study, the bank should focus more on utilising
the specific communication tools that these two generations prefer, whether it is
traditional or modern communication tools. The bank should also pay specific
attention to the times of the day that these aforementioned communication tools are
being used most by the respondents to ensure maximum marketing exposure.
This study illustrates that there is no universal rule that dictates that a specific
generation will only use a specific communication tool - in this case the Baby
Boomer and Generation Y generation. The bank should investigate which modern or
traditional communication tools are preferred by their clients the most and then
continue with productive two way communication using those tools. This can
facilitate the process of making clients more loyal and the process of attracting new
clients simpler
Probate Attorneys’ Understanding of the Inclusion of the Lucid Interval in Testamentary Capacity Proceedings
This study focused on the experience of probate attorneys with the lucid interval in contested will cases. There is a gap in the research for understanding the lucid interval for people who live with dementia. Dementia can affect the testamentary capacity (TC) of a testator who is signing a will because the testator may not understand all the property that is in their possession. This causes difficulties and conflict for families when a loved one dies. It can also cause the testator to be susceptible to undue influence. The present study analyzed data from interviews with 6 probate attorneys about their experience with the lucid interval and its significance in contested will cases. These attorneys were selected based on their experience with contested will cases. Through interpretative phenomenological analysis, the study found that the lucid interval can be used as part of an overall argument, but it is usually not the entire argument for an attorney who is advocating either for or against the TC of a testator. There were 4 themes identified from the study: Probate attorneys must have a basic understanding of dementia for contested will cases; lucid intervals do not affect the validity of a will; dementia affects a testator’s ability to sign a will; and forensic psychological reports are useful in contested will cases. The disease of dementia is one the main reasons for contested will cases. The present study is important because it addresses issues pertaining to contested wills that can cause family discord. The study addresses these issues and ways that new knowledge can help prevent family problems
