Popping Britney's Personal Safety Bubble: Why Proposed Anti-Paparazzi Ordinances In Los Angeles Cannot Withstand First Amendment Scrutiny, Gary Wax

Loyola of Los Angeles Entertainment Law Review

Lawmakers in Los Angeles and in surrounding cities recently proposed the creation of personal safety zones around celebrities to curtail the activities of overly aggressive paparazzi.

Loyola of Los Angeles Entertainment Law Review

EBay currently dominates the online auction market with a market share exceeding 90% in several prominent European countries. Until recently, eBay sellers were permitted to accept a wide array of payment options from buyers including wire transfers, money orders, and checks, as well as credit card payments through PayPal and other merchant accounts. However, pursuant to eBay's paperless payment policy enacted on November 11, 2008, sellers may no longer accept personal checks, cashier's checks, money orders, or wire transfers except in limited circumstances.
