"通知移除"制度研究

通知移除制度,兼顾了网络服务商和版权人的利益,使双方得以合作共同防止网络侵权。和帮助侵权中的"知道"要件不同,版权人的通知,并不必然导致网络服务商责任的承担。我国关于网络服务商责任的立法相对分散,需要制定统一的法律予以完善。     

论出卖人在按揭贷款合同纠纷中的诉讼地位——兼评《商品房买卖合同问题解释》第26条、27条

按揭贷款合同的主要当事人是借款购房的买受人和发放贷款的银行。按揭贷款合同发生纠纷,出卖人是否参加诉讼及其诉讼地位是有争议的问题之一。本文认为,出卖人是按揭贷款合同签订、生效后最早实现其经营利益的受益人。当出卖人没有为贷款归还承担连带责任保证、已经交付商品住房并转移所有权的,银行起诉买受人,出卖人不必参加诉讼;尚未交付的,出卖人应当以无独立请求权的第三人参加诉讼。当出卖人为贷款归还承担连带责任保证,不管是否交付商品住房,银行同时起诉买受人和出卖人的,将二者列为共同被告;银行只起诉买受人的,应当追加出卖人列为共同被告;银行只起诉出卖人的,亦须追加买受人列为共同被告。     

金融衍生产品交易中的卖方受信义务

金融衍生产品十分专业、复杂,买方往往无法弄懂自己所购买的产品,而只能依赖卖方提供的建议进行投资决策。在此情况之下,买卖双方之间存有信赖关系,卖方应当对买方承担忠实与勤勉之责。信赖关系与受信义务是英美金融法的重要基石,存有信赖关系的金融衍生产品交易,卖方应当对买方负担受信义务。我国公司法引入衡平法观念的成功经验值得借鉴,为保护投资者利益,应通过专门立法对信赖关系、受信义务以及违反受信义务的特别法上的请求权进行规定。     

Can Vendors Buy Influence? The Relationship Between Campaign Contributions and Government Contracts

Over the past 30 years, research on government contracting has identified three major influences that help explain variation in contracting decisions—managerial, organizational, and political. This study looks to advance the political influence literature by introducing a factor that has received limited attention—vendor influence. This study specifically focuses on contract transactions at the U.S. federal government to determine if vendors influence the contract award. Traditionally, political influence is studied at the macro or meso levels. This study shifts the unit of analysis to the micro level which requires a change in measurement of political influence. The study uses vendor campaign contributions to capture political influence on this new level of focus.
