Competition is essential for the well-being ...

antitrust case. In this important case, the USSC again visited the difficult question as to when an entity will be considered to be a single entity (as opposed to multiple entities) for the purposes of the application of Section 1 of the Sherman Act (Section 1 of the Sherman Act prohibits certain illegal restraints of trade and is the U.S. equivalent to the criminal conspiracy provisions under Section 45 of the Canadian Competition Act ).

Copying helps set trends (you can’t know it’s a trend until it’s been copied) and then helps destroy them – once a design has been widely copied, the fashion-forward hop on to the next new thing. This is the familiar fashion cycle. What’s less obvious is that the absence of copyright makes the process possible. The fashion cycle turns faster, and the industry gets richer – and creates new designs more frequently. So why on earth would ...
