Goods, Computer programs are the product of an intellectual process, but once implanted in a medium they are widely distributed to computer owners. An analogy can be drawn to a compact-disc recording of an orchestral rendition. The music is produced by the artistry of musicians and in itself is not a 'good', but when transferred to a laser-readable disc it becomes a readily merchant-able commodity. Similarly, when a professor deliv-ers a lecture, it is not a good, but, when transcribed as a book, it becomes a good. That a computer program may be copyrightable as intellectual property does not alter the fact that once in the form of a floppy disc or other medium, the program is tangible, moveable and available in the marketplace. The fact that some programs may be tailored for specific purposes need not alter their status as 'goods' because the Code definition includes 'specially manufactured goods', Advent Systems Ltd. v. Unisys Corpn., 925 F. 2d 670 3dCir 1991. Associated Cement Compa...

Carrier, in its general sense, a person who undertakes to transport the goods of other persons from one place to another for hire.

Midland R. Co., (1869) LR 4 QB 379.To bring a person within the description of a common carrier, he must exercise it as a public employment; he must undertake to carry goods for persons generally; and he must hold himself out as ready to transport goods for hire, as a business, not as a casual occupation, pro hac vice.The two obligations of a common carrier of goods are (1) to carry for everybody, and (2) to answer for all things carried as an insurer, unless lost or injured by the act of God or the King's enemies.The second obligation, that of an insurer, is restricted by the (English) Carriers Act, 1830 (11 Geo. 4 & 1 Wm. 4, c. 68), which protects carriers from liabi...
