How “Choruss” Can Turn Into A Cacophony: The Record Industry’S Stranglehold On The Future Of Music Business, Andrey Spektor

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

A sixty year-old man is delighted when his son shows him how to use Pandora—an interactive, hip Internet radio site that puts the listener in control. Having grown up a huge Louis Armstrong fan, the man quickly selects the jazz singer as one of his “stations.” When listening to this station, Pandora will only play songs by Armstrong and other similar artists for him. When he hears Armstrong’s classic, “What a Wonderful World,” the man immediately clicks the “Thumbs Up” icon, indicating his approval of Pandora’s recommendation. Pandora’s recommendations are drawn from its “Music Genome Project,” a database of song …

Globe Newspaper Co. V. Commonwealth: An Examination Of The Media’S “Right” To Retest Postconviction Dna Evidence, Emily S. Munro

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

In January of 2000, Governor George Ryan of Illinois issued a statewide moratorium on capital punishment, citing among his reasons the fact that more convicted killers had been exonerated than executed since Illinois reinstated the death penalty in 1977. In 2001 Maryland’s governor issued a temporary moratorium on capital punishment, pending the results of a University of Maryland death penalty study. The North Carolina Senate recently approved a bill that would suspend all state executions for two years, after twenty-one North Carolina municipalities passed resolutions favoring a moratorium and two death-row inmates were awarded new trials.

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

Riaa V. Diamond Multimedia Systems: The Recording Industry Attempts To Slow The Mp3 Revolution, Taking Aim At The Jogger Friendly Diamond Rio, Stephen W. Webb

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

The music industry may never be the same again. In recent years, the recording industry has faced an onslaught of advances resulting from digital technology. The record industry has battled the manufacturing and import industries over digital home recording since the 1980's. Digital technology initially manifested itself with the compact disc ("CD") and the digital audio tape ("DAT") in the early 1980's and generated greater tensions between the recording, electronics, and computer industries.


Admissibility Of "Day In The Life" Films In Virginia, Mahlon G. Funk Jr., Harry J. Hicks Iii Jan 1984

Admissibility Of "Day In The Life" Films In Virginia, Mahlon G. Funk Jr., Harry J. Hicks Iii

University of Richmond Law Review

In recent years, audiovisual technology has taken an increasingly prominent position in courtroom procedures. Defense attorneys have traditionally introduced motion pictures of allegedly injured plaintiffs caught in some intense physical activity. More recently, courts have allowed the use of audiovisual depositions, which afford scrutiny of the characteristics and mannerisms of deposed witnesses. In the midst of this evidentiary trend, plaintiffs' counsel now frequently seek admission of "day in the life" films. Such films purport to depict for the jury in graphic detail the effects that a severe personal injury can have on the plaintiff's life. Admission of these films is …


Cable Television Update-Capital Cities Cable, Inc. V. Crisp: Federalism And Frustration Of Powers, Steven J. Keeler Jan 1984

Cable Television Update-Capital Cities Cable, Inc. V. Crisp: Federalism And Frustration Of Powers, Steven J. Keeler

University of Richmond Law Review

The Supreme Court of the United States recently stunned the cable television industry with its decision in Capital Cities Cable, Inc. v. Crisp. The immediate result of the ruling was to preempt a state statute prohibiting the advertisement of certain alcoholic beverages; however, the decision's potential impact could be much broader. The Court unanimously held cable television regulation to be the "exclusive domain" of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and an "area that the Commission has explicitly pre-empted." Thus, the decision extends broad regulatory authority to the FCC at the expense of local control.

Board Of Regents Of University Of Oklahoma V. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Application Of The Per Se Rule To Price-Fixing Agreements, Robert M. Pfeifer

University of Richmond Law Review

In Board of Regents of University of Oklahoma v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court ruling that invalidated regulation of college football television contracts by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). This decision left colleges and universities free to contract for the sale of broadcast rights to their football games. The United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma held that the NCAA television foot- ball plan and network contracts constituted an illegal price-fixing agreement and thus were per se violations of section 1 of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. The …


The Legality Of Ticket Tie-Ins In Intercollegiate Athletics, Arthur D. Austin Jan 1980

The Legality Of Ticket Tie-Ins In Intercollegiate Athletics, Arthur D. Austin

University of Richmond Law Review

The dynamics of operating a "major" intercollegiate sports program have a tenuous nexus with academic ideals. Intercollegiate athletics is now a big business, dominated by the balance sheet of gate receipts, T.V. revenues, and talent recruiting. The best high school athletes are aggressively recruited for their physical prowess to play for teams that perform before large crowds-and frequently a national television audience-in gigantic stadiums and field houses. In many instances coaches and players gain national recognition and reverence unequaled by professors, poets, or Nobel prize winners. Yet the sponsors of these sports extravaganzas are academic institutions who by charter and …
