Taming The "Frankenstein Monster": Copyright Claim Compatibility With The Class Action Mechanism, Renee G. Stern
Taming The "Frankenstein Monster": Copyright Claim Compatibility With The Class Action Mechanism, Renee G. Stern
Kernochan Center for Law, Media, and the Arts
In a 2013 opinion denying class certification to a putative class of copyright holders in Football Association Premier League Ltd. v. YouTube, Inc., Judge Stanton of the Southern District of New York wrote:
Generally speaking, copyright claims are poor candidates for class-action treatment. They have superficial similarities .... Thus, accumulation of all the copyright claims, and claimants, into one action will not simplify or unify the process of their resolution, but multiply its difficulties over the normal one-by-one adjudications of copyright cases.
Judge Stanton went on to characterize the case as a “Frankenstein monster posing as a class action” …
The Demise Of The Copyright Act In The Digital Realm: Re-Engineering Digital Delivery Models To Circumvent Copyright Liability After Aereo, Megan Larkin
Kernochan Center for Law, Media, and the Arts
This Note argues that the Second Circuit’s interpretation of the Transmit Clause eviscerates the meaning of “public” within the digital realm and has created a blueprint for business models to completely circumvent copyright liability. Part I provides the background of the public performance right, focusing on the role that technology has played in the addition of the Transmit Clause and on relevant judicial interpretation. Part II argues that the Second Circuit’s interpretation of the Transmit Clause was improper; it tests the court’s blueprint by re-engineering past business models to show how they could have evaded liability. Part III proposes that, …

Fragmented Literal Similarity In The Ninth Circuit: Dealing With Fragmented Takings Of Jazz And Experimental Music, Michael Zaken
Fragmented Literal Similarity In The Ninth Circuit: Dealing With Fragmented Takings Of Jazz And Experimental Music, Michael Zaken
Kernochan Center for Law, Media, and the Arts
Newcomers to jazz often ask: Is it true that jazz is all improvised? Somehow the casual and romantic notion that jazz is generated in an entirely spontaneous manner has become deeply rooted in our society.
The notator of any jazz solo, or blues, has no chance of capturing what in effect are the most important elements of the music.... A printed musical example of an Armstrong solo, or of a Thelonious Monk solo, tells us almost nothing except the futility of formal musicology when dealing with jazz.
The difficulty of applying standard infringement measures to musical compositions in a way …
Constitutional Hazard:The California Resale Royalty Act And The Futility Of State-Level Implementation Of Droit De Suite Legislation, Nithin Kumar
Kernochan Center for Law, Media, and the Arts
Répétition d’un Ballet, the famous painting by French artist Edgar Degas, sold for $401,000 in 1965. The jubilant seller bragged that Degas originally asked a mere $100 for the painting. In his early career, celebrated American artist Norman Rockwell sold original works like Homecoming Marine and Breaking Home Ties for a few hundred dollars each. In the last decade, these paintings were resold for $9.2 million and $15.4 million at Sotheby’s auctions, but the Rockwell estate received nothing in these transactions. Over the centuries, great wealth in the arts has rarely translated into great wealth for the artist. Since …

Kernochan Center for Law, Media, and the Arts
In the Norwegian folktale Three Billy Goats Gruff, three goats seeking to get fat on the greener pastures of a distant hillside were stopped at the foot of a bridge by a “great ugly troll, with eyes as big as saucers, and a nose as long as a poker.” The troll allowed the first two goats to pass when they assured him of a larger goat to come. Unfortunately, the troll bit off more than he could chew: the third goat was larger than the troll and not the least bit intimidated. The goat launched himself at the troll …

The (Im)Possibility Of "Standard Technical Measures" For Ugc Websites, Laura G. Gallo
Kernochan Center for Law, Media, and the Arts
In today’s highly litigious legal landscape, one might doubt that there could ever be an “open, fair, voluntary” agreement between copyright owners and service providers to police infringement. Congress nevertheless envisioned such a consensus when it developed § (i) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA): “Conditions for [Safe Harbor] Eligibility.” An often-overlooked provision of the DMCA, § 512(i) directs right holders and Internet service providers to work together and agree on “standard technical measures” to “identify or protect copyrighted works.” In addition to being the product of consensus, these measures must be “available ... on reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms” …

The Right To Remain Anonymous: Anonymous Speakers, Confidential Sources And The Public Good, Jocelyn Hanamirian
Kernochan Center for Law, Media, and the Arts
In the digital age, the news media gives voice to anonymous speakers in two ways: reporters may extend confidentiality to sources in exchange for newsworthy information, or a news website may host an online comment function that allows readers to post their reactions to content pseudonymously. Of these two groups of anonymous speakers, only online posters enjoy certain First Amendment protection against a subpoena seeking disclosure of their identities.
The reporter’s privilege has always been legally defined as the professional privilege of a reporter to maintain the confidentiality of his sources. Yet as with all evidentiary privileges, the reporter’s privilege …
Audiovisual Works And The Work For Hire Doctrine In The Internet Age, John L. Schwab
Audiovisual Works And The Work For Hire Doctrine In The Internet Age, John L. Schwab
Kernochan Center for Law, Media, and the Arts
The work for hire doctrine is a legal mechanism by which the creator of an artistic work’s employer is deemed the author of that work. While, historically, such employer ownership schemes were not recognized by courts, today the work for hire doctrine is a firmly embedded part of American copyright law. In particular, work for hire has developed into an essential tool of the audiovisual entertainment industry. As discussed in Part I.B, infra, there are a number of reasons that work for hire is a particularly useful ownership allocation scheme for audiovisual works.
Modern technological developments are, however, rapidly altering …
