29 days ago Lexology

Based on the abovementioned laws and regulations, this article selects five keywords with respect to cross-border data transmission. Safe Data TransmissionRelevant laws and regulations have repeatedly emphasized "security" as the premise of free cross-border data transmission, which reflects that our country attaches great importance to safe data transmission. Currently, China's legislations in the area of data security tend to tighten the regulation on cross-border transmission of important data. The Data Security Law echoes the Export Control Law by restressing China's data export control system.

Metaverse-ing Your Sweepstakes?

Sweepstakes and other promotional devices, such as contests and giveaways, are already immensely popular in social media. While many brands already execute sweepstakes (in a compliant and not-so compliant fashion) in social media, it is important for brands to note that the same general legal considerations applicable to sweepstakes, whether conducted in a brick-and-mortar location or on social media, also apply to sweepstakes conducted in the metaverse. A current trend among brands hosting "Like and Tag" sweepstakes in social media is to do away with the AMOE. With that said, when hosting a sweepstakes in the metaverse, brands must still consider whether their promotion has an AMOE. Disclosure of Material InformationIn addition to considering the structure of the sweepstakes, brands must also consider how to disclose material information relating to the sweepstakes (such as the free form of entry and eligibility requirements).

When Are Compulsory Copyright Licenses Compulsory?

A year later, the defendants began using a third-party licensing agent to obtain compulsory licenses under 17 USC § 115 and negotiated licenses from plaintiff music publishers in the audio and audiovisual live concert recordings. Section 115 of the Copyright Act requires persons seeking to make and distribute phonorecords of a previously published musical work to obtain a compulsory license by providing notice to the copyright owner before distribution and paying government-prescribed royalties. In 2015, the music publishers sued defendants for copyright infringement of 197 musical works posted online without valid compulsory licenses. The music publishers alleged that the defendants did not obtain compulsory licenses for audiovisual works as required by § 115 and that the defendants failed to comply with § 115 substantive compulsory licensing requirements for audio-only works. The district court denied the publishers’ request for an injunction but granted the publishers an award of attorneys’ fees.

Biden Administration Concludes Section 232 Investigation into Imports of NdFeB Magnets but Does Not Impose Tariffs

On September 21, 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s (“Commerce”) Bureau of Industry and Security announced the findings of its investigation into the national security impacts of imports into the U.S. of Neodymium-Iron-Boron Permanent Magnets (“NdFeB magnets”), pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (“Section 232”). NdFeB magnets are used in a wide range of critical and defense uses, including electric vehicles, solar turbines, ship propulsion systems, and guided missile actuators. This was the first Section 232 investigation initiated during the Biden administration, although President Biden previously declined to impose Section 232 tariffs on imports of vanadium pursuant to a Trump administration-initiated investigation that concluded in February 2021. Report Findings and RecommendationsIn its investigative report, Commerce found that imports of NdFeB magnets meet the statutory definition of threatening national security. The report also discussed ongoing efforts by the U.S. government and private sector to invest in the domestic NdFeB magnet supply chain and potential opportunities for growth in demand.

Impact of the recently approved Belgian federal budget

The Belgian federal government has recently approved the federal budget for 2023 and 2024. It includes several novelties and changes to the Belgian tax landscape. However, these tax assets can only be used to offset EUR1 million of the taxable profit, to be increased by 70% of the taxable profit exceeding EUR1 million. The Belgian federal government has announced its intention to align the personal scope of this tax scheme with the initial rationale of the legislator. This proposed legislative amendment might also affect taxpayers that have obtained a tax ruling on the application of the copyright transfer tax scheme.
