Changing insurance policies: coping with the new antitrust environment
Article Abstract:
There is continuing conflict between antitrust law and regulation of insurance companies by state governments. The conflict was defined in 1944 by United States v South-Eastern Underwriters, and further expanded by the 1945 McCarran-Ferguson Act. New areas of concern include state action doctrine, the Noerr-Pennington doctrine, federal law on competitive pricing and insurance solvency.

Recent and impending developments in copyright and antitrust
Article Abstract:
Copyright lawsuits are approaching antitrust law, as shown by cases involving tying, misuse and sham litigation. Eastman Kodak Co v Image Technical Services, Inc involved tying and will have far reaching effect. A new arena for sham litigation involves Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc v Professional Real Estate Investors, Inc and will also have broad consequences.
