Book Description
Duplication of copyrighted musical scores for the use of judges at state music festivals constitutes an infringement of the United States copyright laws. It does not represent a "fair use" of such copyrighted material within the meaning of 17 U.S.C.A. section 107, even though it is for a nonprofit, educational purpose, because: (1) It does not constitute duplication for the purpose of criticizing or commenting on the copyrighted works themselves; (2) even if regarded as being for the purpose of comment or criticism, duplication of an entire score exceeds the permissible amount which may fairly be reproduced as legitimately necessary for critical review; and (3) such duplication is intended primarily as a substitute for purchasing the original works. Cited herein: 17 U.S.C.A. sections 106, 107.

Book Description
Through the imposition of fines for unlawful conduct, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 8-1901(d) imposes criminal liability. In addition, subsection (a) of that statute does not appear to violate the United States Constitution's Equal Protection Clause, although it only imposes liability upon a limited class of persons. Moreover, that subsection appears to convey a sufficiently definite warning as to the conduct proscribed therein, so as to avoid being unconstitutionally vague and uncertain. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 8-1901, 8-1909, K.S.A. 8-2116, 8-2204, 21-3105, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 21-4503, U.S. Const., Amend. XIV.

Book Description
Although written requests for notice of government meetings are preferred and the absence of a written request makes prosecution under the Kansas Open Meetings Act nearly impossible, oral requests for notice are to be honored. In addition, meetings for the discussion of personnel matters of non-elected personnel may be held in executive session, but only after the notice requirements and procedures for recessing into closed sessions have been followed. Cited herein: K.S.A. 75-4317, 75-4317a, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 75-4318, K.S.A. 75-4319, 75-4320.

Book Description
L. 1981, Ch. 156 section 2(g) does not require that an inmate convicted of a class A, B or C felony by reason of aiding, Abetting, advising or counseling another to commit a crime, or by reason of the principle provided for in subsection (2) of K.S.A. 21-3205, serve one-half of the minimum term of imprisonment imposed by the court. Rather, the law requires that the inmate serve one-half of the term of imprisonment which would be required had not the aiding, abetting, etc. come into play. Thus, on a class A felony conviction, parole eligibility would occur after seven and one-half years of confinement and on a class B or C felony conviction, parole eligibility would occur after service of one-half of the minimum sentence imposed less good time credits available. Cited herein: L. 1981, Ch. 156.
