Sports Sanctions Against Russia Through The Lens Of The Court Of Arbitration For Sport, Ilias Bantekas

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal

The Russian invasion of Ukraine prompted the vast majority of international sports federations to adopt some kind of coercive measures against Russian and Belarusian clubs and athletes. While athletes in individual sports were generally allowed to participate without representing their country of nationality, international sports federations hosting team-based events suspended teams from sanctioned states from participating therein. Pertinent decisions were driven not by the sanctions imposed unilaterally or multilaterally. Rather, they were precipitated by logistical and safety factors, as well as the likelihood offinancial harm to the competitions under their aegis. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) sided with …

Deceptive By Nature: A Model For Regulating Native And Embedded Advertising In The Contexts Of Children's Audiences, Zach Cihlar

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal

The note advocates for enhanced regulatory measures to protect children from deceptive native and embedded advertising in digital media. It emphasizes the need for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to expand its regulatory framework to classify such advertising as deceptive, leveraging existing laws like the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTCA) and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The proposed model suggests a combination of stricter regulations, parental involvement through technology, and strengthened self-regulatory mechanisms to address the challenges posed by modern advertising formats.

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal

Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) singers, or more precisely, AI songs cloning celebrities' real voices (AI songs), have become a key topic in the entertainment industry and among fan groups across the globe, particularly in China. AI songs have attracted considerable attention from the legal community, as they unsurprisingly raise various ethical and legal issues. Examples of hotly discussed legal issues surrounding AI songs include whether using prior published songs to train AI models violates copyright holders' rights and whether the creators of Al songs breach copyright protection by training AI to sing songs copyrighted by other celebrities or companies. One …

Bias Notification Duty, Eldar Haber, Shai Stern

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal

Algorithms are often tainted with bias that could negatively affect subjects' lives in many aspects. But while policymakers and scholars tend to focus their attention on methods to fix the bias within the algorithm or its output, they neglect a crucial piece of the puzzle: when companies discover bias and fix it in the algorithmic output, they do so behind the scenes. While such a move might debias the output, society remains in the dark about its existence or how it might have affected the outcome. Society thus misses a unique opportunity to study social and cognitive biases that shape …

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal

On November 30, 2022, OpenAI released an AI based chatbot called ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer). This AI system uses natural language processing (NLP) techniques to generate written text by learning the patterns and structures of natural language. ChatGPT is a versatile chatbot with the ability to write speeches, news articles, and essays either wholly or partially. Some users acknowledge ChatGPT as a co-author of the generated text, while others only acknowledge its use in writing the document. In fact, this issue became so pressing in academia that Springer Nature, the world's largest academic publisher, announced that software like ChatGPT cannot …

Panel 1: Copyright Law, Michael W. Carroll, Peter Karol, Christopher Sprigman, Jacob Noti-Victor

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal

The Warhol v. Goldsmith case has reshaped the interpretation of fair use in copyright law, emphasizing market competition and the commercial purpose of the use. The Supreme Court's decision focused on the commercial licensing of Warhol's work, highlighting the importance of assessing whether the use competes with the original work's market. This shift could influence future cases, particularly in technology and art, by potentially altering how transformative use and market competition are evaluated.

Why Courts Should Not Interpret The Meaning Of Art, Amy Adler

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal

The article argues that courts are ill-equipped to interpret the meaning of art, particularly in fair use cases, as seen in the Supreme Court's decision in Warhol Foundation v. Goldsmith. The Court's reliance on determining the meaning of art exacerbates confusion and inconsistency in fair use jurisprudence, highlighting the need for alternative approaches that avoid judicial interpretation of artistic meaning.

Why The Supreme Court Rejected The Prospect Theory Of Copyright Scope, Michael W. Carroll

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal

In Google LLC v. Oracle America, Inc. ("Google v. Oracle"), and again in Andy Warhol Found. for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith ("Warhol"), the parties and various amici presented the Court with a variety of arguments about the relationship between a copyright owner's right to make derivative works from a protected work and a user's right to make fair uses of that same work. At bottom, these arguments were about the proper, or even optimal, scope of copyright.

This Essay argues that these arguments were instead grounded in a form of "prospect theory" of copyright scope that …

Trademark Fair Use Is No Joke, Christine Haight Farley

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal

The article critiques the Supreme Court's decision in Jack Daniel's Properties v. VIP Products, arguing that the Court missed an opportunity to clarify the relationship between trademark law and the First Amendment. While the Court acknowledged the importance of protecting parodies, it failed to develop a comprehensive framework for balancing trademark rights with free speech. Instead, it introduced a narrow rule that limits the application of the Rogers test, potentially undermining speech protections in trademark disputes. The article contends that the Court's reliance on the likelihood of confusion test is insufficient to address the broader First Amendment implications of …

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal

The note critiques New Jersey's Newborn Screening Program, highlighting its constitutional and social justice implications. While the program is a vital public health measure, its retention of newborn blood samples without informed consent and subsequent use by law enforcement raises significant Fourth Amendment concerns. The analysis argues that the program disproportionately impacts minorities and perpetuates systemic racism in the criminal legal system, as biometric data from these samples can be used to bypass probable cause requirements.
