Revision as of 14:22, 18 February 2006

International trade law is a misnomer. Since there is no international governing body over trade, there cannot be, in that sense, a Law. What is usually meant by the term is the means of finding out appropriate rules and customs for handling trade between countries or between private companies across borders.

The standard for determining dispute resolution has been traditional maritime law. Maritime law is the "oldest law on the books" in that sailing between countries has been going on for centuries and what has been customary on the seas has been extrapolated for use in present day.

Since there are no international governing judges (2004) the means of dispute resolution is determined by jurisdiction. Each individual country hears cases that are brought before them. Governments choose to be party to a dispute. And private citizens determine jurisdiction by the Forum Clause in their contract.

Besides forum, another factor in international disputes is the rate of exchange. With currency fluctuation ascending and descending over years, a lack of Commerce Clause can jeopardize trade between parties when one party becomes unjustly enriched through natural market fluctuations. By listing the rate of exchange expected over the contract life, parties can provide for changes in the market through reassessment of contract or division of exchange rate fluctuations.

There are three types of law around the world: Civil Law as in France and Germany, etc.; Common Law as in England, Australia, India and the United States, etc. and Theocratic Law as in Iran and Pakistan, etc.

-==Background==
-Josh Freese was born on Christmas Day, 1972 in [[Orlando, Florida]] but has lived in Southern California since he was 6 months old. Having been brought up in a musical family (father conducted the Disneyland Band and mother was a classical pianist) he was surrounded by music from an early age and began playing the drums around the time he was 7 or 8 years old. He started playing professionally at the age of 12 (in a Top 40 band at Disneyland) and starting touring and making records at the age of 15. First with [[Dweezil Zappa]] and then [[The Vandals]]. Currently still a member of [[The Vandals]], [[Devo]] and [[A Perfect Circle]], Josh Freese has also worked with many respected artists in the last 10 years perpetually filling in as session drummer and sometimes as a temporary replacement. He's now touring with [[Nine Inch Nails]] on their 2006 leg of the ''[[With_Teeth]]'' tour. He also completed drum tracks for the band, Black Light Burns, which consists of Wes Borland (Limp Bizkit, Big Dumb Face), Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails) and Josh Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv).
+Besides forum, another factor in international disputes is the rate of exchange. With currency fluctuation ascending and descending over years, a lack of Commerce Clause can jeopardize trade between parties when one party becomes unjustly enriched through natural market fluctuations.  By listing the rate of exchange expected over the contract life, parties can provide for changes in the market through reassessment of contract or division of exchange rate fluctuations.
-Josh has a younger brother [[Jason Freese|Jason]]. Jason is wizardly gifted multi-instrumentalist, who can play accordeon, guitar, bass, piano, keyboards and many more. Jason has played with Green Day on their recent ''[[American Idiot]]'' tour and also contributed to the recording of the album.
+There are three types of law around the world: [[Civil Law]] as in [[France]] and [[Germany]], etc.; [[Common Law]] as in [[England]], [[Australia]], [[India]] and the [[United States]], etc. and [[Theocracy|Theocratic]] Law as in [[Iran]] and [[Pakistan]], etc.
-==Studio Musician==
-Aside from being a permanent member for [[A Perfect Circle]], [[The Vandals]], and [[Devo]], Josh Freese is primarily a professional studio drummer, appearing on more than 2,500 records, including but not limited to: [[Paul Westerberg]], [[Chris Cornell]], [[Suicidal Tendencies]], [[Juliana Hatfield]], [[Mike Ness]], [[Tracy Bonham]], and [[Guns N' Roses]]. (See ''Discography'' for a more current listing.)
-==Solo==
-In [[1998]], Freese went solo by recording a number of songs that he wrote and performed himself (including bass, guitar, keyboards and vocals) Resulting in the 6 song [[Extended play|EP]] entitled ''Destroy The Earth As Soon As Possible'', released under the name 'Princess' on T.O.N/Stone Lizard records.
-In [[2000]], the songs 'Caffiene and Vaseline' and 'Rock N' Roll Chicken' were revived for the full length album ''The Notorious One Man Orgy'', this time released under Freese's own name. [[Kung Fu Records]] contributed in the 2000 release of this 12-song album of straight [[pop-punk]]. With guest appearances by the likes of [[Stone Gossard]], [[Warren Fitzgerald]], [[Michael Ward]], [[Lyle Workman]], and his brother Jason, the ''N.O.M.O.'' offers a hard driving pop-punk musical insight into what it's like to be Josh Freese on a daily basis. Evidently it's not easy.
-==Current Bands ==
-Freese participated in [[Sting|Sting's]] "Broken Music Tour" in [[April 2005]] with guitarist Dominic Miller and guitarist Shane Fontayne. The tour kicked off April 1 in San Jose, California and ended on April 30 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Josh also appeared with Sting during the record breaking 'Live 8' concert.
-Freese was a member of [[Guns N' Roses]] from [[1997]] to [[2000]], replacing [[Matt Sorum]]. He recorded the song ''Oh My God'' for the ''[[End of Days]]'' Soundtrack and recorded pieces for the still unreleased ''[[Chinese Democracy]]'' album. He left the band in 2000 and was replaced by [[Brian Mantia]]. Some people argue that Freese was not an official member and that he was only a studio musician. However, he did sign a contract with the band.
-Freese has been a member of [[punk rock]] band [[The Vandals]] since 1989, and has played on all the band's albums since then, with the exception of 2000's ''Look What I Almost Stepped In...'', on which current [[Bad Religion]] drummer [[Brooks Wackerman]] deputised due to Freese's commitments with [[A Perfect Circle]]. In 2003, [[The Vandals]] released a live DVD as part of [[Kung Fu Records]]' [[The Show Must Go Off]] series. The DVD is of particular interest to Josh Freese fans thanks to the inclusion of the Josh Freese-cam, a camera focused on Freese for the entire duration of the show, also including a picture-in-picture of Freese's [[kick drum]] pedal. The band is recently going to start work on a new album for a release in [[2006]].
-He has been a member of the band [[A Perfect Circle]] since their first album, and is considered one of the three core members alongside [[Maynard James Keenan]] and [[Billy Howerdel]]. The band is currently on hiatus while Keenan works with his primary band, [[Tool (band)|Tool]].
-During October 2005, Freese performed as drummer for the fall [[Nine Inch Nails]] tour due to the health problems of [[Jerome Dillon]]. As of December 6th, he remains the touring drummer for Nine Inch Nails.
