{"title":"Freedom and Access to Housing: Three Conceptions","authors":"Terry Skolnik","doi":"10.22329/WYAJ.V35I0.5690","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22329/WYAJ.V35I0.5690","url":null,"abstract":"This article argues that our current understanding of the relationship between access to housing and liberty (or freedom) is limited. It contends that judicial decisions and existing legal theory are predominantly concerned with the connection between housing and the two conceptions of liberty famously advanced by Isaiah Berlin: positive liberty and negative liberty. The notion of positive freedom conceptualizes freedom as self-mastery, whereas negative liberty portrays freedom as non-interference. \u0000The central premise of this article is that the republican theory of freedom (or republicanism) provides new insight into the importance of access to housing in protecting liberty, most notably in contexts where the state regulates public property, such as in Canada and the United States. The republican theory of freedom defines liberty as non-domination, meaning the absence of others’ power to interfere with an individual’s life and actions. This article argues that we develop a more well-rounded grasp of the value of access to housing by understanding its role in protecting individuals against domination. \u0000This article concludes by setting out the four concrete ways that housing reduces domination and safeguards individual freedom in contexts where the state regulates public property. By combining the respective insights of positive liberty, negative liberty, and republican liberty, this article ultimately provides a more robust understanding of the importance of housing in protecting freedom.  ","PeriodicalId":446787,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Canadian Law - Property (Topic)","volume":"67 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132791411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"La propriété ubiquitaire du fichier numérique (The Ubiquitous Property of Digital Files)","authors":"Pierre-Emmanuel Moyse","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.2853863","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.2853863","url":null,"abstract":"French Abstract: Le fichier numerique est devenu l’enveloppe essentielle de nos activites numeriques. Objet incontournable de notre consommation et de nos transactions, il n’a pourtant acquis qu’une realite juridique partielle. Seules certaines de ses utilisations sont apprehendees par le droit. L’objectif de cet essai est de poser les bases d’une reflexion theorique au sujet du fichier numerique et d’envisager sa qualification de bien meuble en vertu du droit civil quebecois. Nous chercherons a determiner si le droit des biens peut permettre de saisir l’economie des activites auxquelles il se prete et d’envisager un regime juridique qui lui serait propre. Son utilite est partagee avec une pluralite de sujets et diffuse differentes proprietes. Ainsi, la propriete du fichier numerique devient-elle plurielle, accommodante plutot qu’exclusive. Il s’agit de ce que nous avons appele, par le detour d’une formule qui voile a peine la difficulte du sujet, une propriete ubiquitaire, c’est-a-dire une propriete qui demultiplie ses objets, cree differents lieux de propriete et donc differents titulaires. En d’autres termes, le fichier numerique cree autant de biens qu’il existe d’interets proprietaires legitimes a son endroit. Son service est multiple. Notre etude, meme si essentiellement theorique, a une portee pratique. La qualification du fichier numerique en tant que bien autonome n’est en effet pas sans consequences. Le codificateur pourra ainsi se demander si le fichier numerique ne devrait pas rejoindre « les ondes et l’energie maitrisees par l’etre humain et mises a son service, quel que soit le caractere mobilier ou immobilier de leur source » de l’article 906 CcQ et s’interroger sur les implications fiscales ou autres d’une telle inscription. On se prend alors a imaginer que l’utilisateur pourrait revendiquer un droit de propriete dans les fichiers qui le concernent ou qu’il a acquis sous licence. Cette propriete, toute aussi legitime, serait differente de la propriete intellectuelle qui habite le fichier. \u0000English Abstract: The digital file has become the essential medium of our digital activities, the main instrument of our transactions. A companion and item of consumption, it has never completely been recognized by the law. Some of its uses only are captured. The objective of this essay is to lay the foundations of a theoretical reflection about the digital file as movable property under Quebec civil law. We will seek to determine whether property law applies to digital file activities and usages. Property of the digital file becomes complex, multiple and inclusive rather than exclusive. The digital file is the site of various rights that must coexist, a phenomenon that we have called ubiquitous property: a property that multiplies its objects, creates different “things” and reveals different owners. In other words, the digital file creates as much property as there are legitimate property interests. Our study, although essentially theoretical, ","PeriodicalId":446787,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Canadian Law - Property (Topic)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124724766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
