Presently, broadcasters and cable television companies deal directly with the two baseball leagues and the individual clubs, which in turn purport to sell all of the rights regarding the televising of the games. The players wanted to be a part of those contracts to get a bigger share of the television revenues. In the Baltimore Orioles case both sides sought a judicial resolution of their rights in the telecasts. The baseball players' demand was based on their rights of publicity in their performances. This common law right allegedly precluded the clubs and the leagues from contracting with the broadcasters for …

A Thousand Clones: The Scope Of Copyright Protection In The "Look And Feel" Of Computer Programs—Digital Communications Associates, Inc. V. Softklone Distributing Corp., 659 F. Supp. 449 (N.D. Ga. 1987), Alan S. Middleton
Washington Law Review
In Digital Communications Associates, Inc. v. Softklone Distributing Corp., the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia rejected "standardization" as a reason to deny copyright protection to user interface design. The court also rejected the proposition, advanced six months earlier in Broderbund Software, Inc. v. Unison World, Inc., that copyright protection of the underlying computer program extends to the screen displays generated by that program. Once it found the screen displays to be separately copyrightable, the Softklone court evaluated each feature of the display individually, and extended copyright protection to some elements of the user interface. Although …

Intellectual Property Rights And The Gatt: United States Goals In The Uruguay Round, Mark L. Damschroder
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The pursuit of protection of IP rights is a valuable goal both for the United States and the rest of the world community. Such rights promote creativity and the advancement of knowledge, as well as fuel the domestic economy and improve the position of the United States vis-a-vis the other trading nations of the world. With the growing interdependence of the global economy, there is no time like the present to lay the foundation for a system of dispute settlement of such trade matters. Economic interdependence will continue to increase, and the problems of international trade in, and piracy of, …

Who Cares Who Wrote "Shakespeare"?, Peter Jaszi
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Obviously, a great many people, on both (or all) sides of the "authorship question," and they care a lot. The real question is why.

And why is so much of the discussion conducted at such a relatively high pitch of …
