 December 2004 Active Trader -- Market History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Day 1 represents the final Friday, or the last trading day for stock options, serial-month stock index options and single-stock futures (as well as the latter two instruments’ expiration days).
The index tended to climb higher in the days prior to serial-month expirations, and posted six consecutive daily gains from the sixth day to the final day preceding the event, a 0.74-percent average gain for this six-day period.
The differences between the two expiration types are significant: The SandP’s average daily price swings (up or down) are not only larger surrounding serial-month expirations, they also are more reliable than their triple-witching counterparts since they’re based on nearly twice as many observations (173 vs. 89 instances).

Copyrighted work can be a literary work, musical work, dramatic work, pantomime, choreographic work, pictorial work, graphic work, sculptural work, motion picture, audiovisual work, sound recording, architectural work, mask works fixed in semiconductor chip products, or a computer program.

For works made for hire, and for anonymous and pseudonymous works (unless the author's identity is revealed in Copyright Office records), the duration of copyright will be 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter.

 Mediation in Copyright Disputes: From Compromise Created Incentives to Incentive Created Compromises
Given the enormous financial stakes in the resolution of such disputes, moreover, copyright cases are increasingly finding their way into the courtroom.
To address these concerns, this article suggests that copyright disputes are not only well-suited for mediation, but that such disputes are more appropriate for mediation than the “average” dispute.
Indeed, these incentives illuminate an inverse, yet symmetrical relationship between mediation and the law of copyright— that is, whereas the law of copyright is founded on a compromise that promotes creative incentive, mediation is driven by incentives that promote creative compromise.
