On Piracy Victory and the Just Shaping of Letters
What is it that both Albrecht Durer and Nike understand about the rudiments of branding? In the late Renaissance, Durer’s iconic AD monogram became an emblem of high accomplishment, a symbol of quality applied to the remarkable drypoints made by his studio, and hence, synonymizing value to an educated European intelligentsia. Around 1505, Durer was even forced to denounce the Venetian artist Raimondi, who had copied Durer’s works and signed them with the famous mark. This is one of the first trials defending the rights of an author and the protection of what is today called intellectual property.

Cohabitation Agreements
In Canada, there remains a great deal of misunderstanding about the rights and responsibilities of common-law couples. There are no statutory property rights for common-law couples regardless of how long they have cohabited.

Chinese culture respects the knowledge itself and not the ownership of that knowledge and this culture has slowly developed over 5000 years.
