A comparative experiment was conducted using 200g of Coffea canephora husks for each extraction method replicated three times and the yields were measured in mL.

It Shouldn’T Be Sexy: Exploring The Intersection Between Staged Intimacy And The Law, Spencer Darling

Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal

If your job requires you to passionately embrace your coworker after surviving the seat-riveting climax action of the third act, does that complicate your workplace’s sexual harassment prevention strategy? Most jobs do not require workers to make intentional intimate contact with their coworkers. Yet, in the entertainment industry, some jobs require not just intimate contact with coworkers but selling that contact as authentic. This staged intimacy, like staged violence, carries a risk that simulated conduct can result in real harm.

When produced without precaution, staged intimacy can create working conditions that constitute sexual harassment in violation of Title VII of …

The Playbook: A Guide To College Athlete Unionization In The Wake Of Alston, Ashlyn Hare

This can be achieved through collective bargaining, but the complexity of college sports and its many stakeholders makes the route to a college athletes players association far from clear. This article analyzes the legal pitfalls in previous unionization efforts, and provides solutions to the …

Streaming Television And Children: An Examination And Method Of Evaluating Svod Parental Controls, Joel Timmer

Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal

With the growth of streaming television in recent years, and particularly subscription video on demand (SVOD) services like Netflix and Disney+, children are increasingly viewing programming online rather than on traditional broadcast and cable television platforms. This provides children with instantaneous access to vast libraries of programming, which may include a significant amount of programming that is inappropriate for them. However, with the exception of the Parents Television Council, little attention has been paid to the parental controls provided by these services to allow parents to monitor and control their children’s access to programming on the services. This article examines …

Closing The Gap Between Copyright Management Information And Metadata: A Critical Analysis Of Section 1202 Of The Digital Millennium Copyright Act And A Proposal For Sound Recording Standards, Haley Bridget Mccullough

Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal

“Music metadata” is virtually any of type of content electronically embedded in a digital audio file and may include information that identifies various rightsholders of a copyrightable sound recording, such as producer(s) and performer(s). A standardized system for music metadata does not exist, and instead music industry stakeholders devote significant resources to maintain redundant and incongruent databases. As a result, licensees expend significant effort in tracking copyright holders and licensors risk inadequate protection and potential loss of royalties. Music metadata overlaps with copyright management information (CMI), which is information conveyed with a copyrighted work. For example, music metadata includes information …
