Why is it a problem that copyright laws are unable to keep pace with technology?
Because laws lag behind technology so significantly, with each advance there is a period where everyone is essentially guessing what the legal applications will eventually be. Rightsholders--and, frankly, legislators--tend to attempt to apply existing laws to new technology they view as similar, even when it makes no sense at all; then when it comes time to update the law, they just slide the new device or process in the section they've decided applies. Laws relating to mp3s, for example, were written in 1919 in response to that great new technology the player piano.

What are the characteristics of effective control?
Characteristics of an effective control system (according to CliffNotes.com): * A focus on critical points. For example, controls are applied where failure cannot be tolerated or where costs cannot exceed a certain amount. The critical points include all the areas of an organization's operations that directly affect the success of its key operations. * Integration into established processes. Controls must function harmoniously within these processes and should not bottleneck operations. * Acceptance by employees. Employee involvement in the design of controls can increase acceptance. * Availability of information when needed. Deadlines, time needed to complete the project, costs associated with the project, and priority needs are apparent in these criteria. Costs are frequently attributed to time shortcomings or failures. * Economic feasibility. Effective control systems answer questions such as, "How much does it cost?" "What will it save?" or "What are the returns on the investment?" In short, comparison of the costs to the benefits ensures that the benefits of controls outweigh the costs. * Accuracy.Effective control systems provide factual information that's useful, reliable, valid, and consistent. * Comprehensibility. Controls must be simple and easy to understand.

How does copyright law affect you?
Copyright law affects what I can do with creative works I encounter. I went to a concert last night, and the law prevented me from recording it and posting it to YouTube. I read an interesting blog post, and I emailed a link to someone instead of copying and pasting the content itself. I sent just someone to the rightsholder of some rare materials I am in possession of, to get permission to have a copy made.
On the other hand, if I were the creator of those works, copyright would affect me differently. If I were the band playing that concert, I would be able to license my recordings. If I were the blogger, I could authorize others to use my words, or not. If I were the rightsholder of the materials, I could charge a fee to allow a copy to be made.
What is the foreground intellectual property?
"Foreground intellectual property" is commonly the new intellectual property which is developed arising out of a relationship between two companies collaborating together. Contrasted with "Background Intellectual Property" which would be the intellectual property developed independently by each individual company prior to entering into the collaboration relationship. If two companies are collaborating together, they both may contribute background intellectual property from previous work they have done (and which they will normally own themselves but licence to the other for the purposes of developing the new product) - together the new product they develop which arises out of the collaboration and the background IP will form foreground intellectual property.

What is the impact of vigorous enforcement of intellectual property rights on the world economy?
It depends who you ask. On the surface, intellectual property makes a massive contribution to the economy, particularly as internationally trade becomes increasingly knowledge-based. There are those, however, who assert that vigorous enforcement enables only large corporations, and prevents smaller players from entering the marketplace. For a well researched (but potentially one-sided) discussion of this, see the Public Knowledge TPP presentation linked below.
Who is entitled to the husband's pension the ex wife or new wife?
The answer to that question is both. Most states have held that retirement funds and pensions earned DURING the course of a marriage are equitable assets subject to distribution by the courts. Those pension benefits that accrue after the divorce is finalized are not available to the ex-spouse but rather would be those of the new wife. The main factor is looking what what was (and was not) earned during the course of the marriage.
Addendum:As relates to military pensions, this is somewhat complicated, as the pension is based on the highest rank attained, not as much time served or investment in a fund.Some courts have divided the pension between an ex and current wife by 50/50. Still others have divided it by the number of years each wife was married to the deceased. Still other courts have determined that the only spouse entitled to a military pension is the current spouse. It really depends on the state and the judge who decides.
