Gender According To World Athletics: The Regulation Of Racialized Athletes From The Global South, Maria Dugas

Dalhousie Law Journal

In March 2023, World Athletics, the regulating body for the sport of Athletics introduced The Eligibility Regulations for the Female Classification (Athletes with Differences of Sex Development). These Regulations limit participation in female Athletics events at international competition and to set world records. They require certain athletes to maintain a testosterone threshold below 2.5nmol/L, despite their naturally occurring testosterone levels. On one level, this paper is about gender regulation in sport, particularly regulating testosterone in elite, female athletes.

Catch Me If You Can Claim Copyright Infringement: How Copyright Law Unevenly Protects Novice Scriptwriters, Alexander Cole Dibucci

Global Business Law Review

In the realm of creative endeavors, novice scriptwriters often find themselves in a precarious position, highly susceptible to having their original work exploited for profit by formidable players in the industry, drawing a parallel to the timeless tale of David versus Goliath. In these all-too common scenarios, the multi-million-dollar film agencies that, reminiscent of Goliath, appropriate the creative fruits of amateurs striving to establish their names in the field. Regrettably, unlike the triumphant David from the biblical narrative, novice scriptwriters are frequently left without adequate protection within the legal landscape of the United States, where the scales tend to tip …

Running From Blanket Licensing: How Fitness Platforms Do Not Sync With Current Music Licensing Procedure, Kathryn Defranco

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

Online Fitness Platforms, like Peloton, have become ubiquitous in a modern post-Covid world. Fitness classes are catered to the musical interests of their users, increasing user satisfaction. Although technology has advanced to accommodate the remote fitness industry, the legal structures in place for synchronization licenses have not. Such platforms have a unique need to clear music on a quick and consistent basis that does not break the bank. Downtown Music Publishing LLC v. Peloton Interactive, Inc., highlights the necessity for a federal statutory scheme similar to those used for other music licenses. A solution that protects competition but does not …

Baseball's Antitrust Exemption Still Looms Large For Minor Leaguers Despite Their Recent Unionization & Collective Bargaining Agreement, Rodney William Cannon

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

Over a hundred years ago, the Supreme Court of the United States granted Major League Baseball (MLB) an antitrust exemption, allowing the organization to engage in anticompetitive practices that antitrust laws are designed to prevent. Today, MLB remains the only sports league with an antitrust exemption, despite legal challenges and inquiries, especially regarding its impact on the recently unionized Minor League Baseball players in 2022. Issues related to the exemption arise from the history of poor conditions for Minor League Baseball players in relation to their wages, living conditions, and transportation, among others. Despite recent improvements resulting from unionization and …

Protecting Unsanctioned Street Art Under The Visual Artists Rights Act Of 1990, Thomas Goddard

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

Before 2013, artists and art enthusiasts would flock to a dilapidated building in Long Island City to view and engage with a vast collection of graffiti and street art murals. The site was filled with over two decades' worth of murals created by legendary street artists such as "Blade" and "Lady Pink." The building, with artists having free reign to paint on the walls of the 200,000 square foot space, became a mecca for graffiti and public art. The community would come in droves to experience the vibrant art and watch performances by rappers and dancers from around the …

The Need For An International Ai Research Initiative: How To Create And Sustain A Virtuous Research-Regulation Cycle To Govern Ai, Kevin Frazier

Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts

This paper explains the need for an international AI research initiative. The current focus of lawmakers at the subnational, national, and international level on regulation over research has created an imbalance, neglecting the critical role of continuous, informed research in developing laws that keep pace with rapid technological advancements in AI.

The proposed international AI research initiative would serve as a central hub for comprehensive AI risk analysis, modeled on successful precedents like CERN and the IPCC. CERN exemplifies a collaborative research environment with pooled resources from member states, leading to significant advancements in particle physics. Similarly, the IPCC has …

When Ai Remembers Too Much: Reinventing The Right To Be Forgotten For The Generative Age, Cheng-Chi Chang

Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems poses novel challenges for the right to be forgotten. While this right gained prominence following the 2014 Google Spain v. Gonzalez case, generative AI’s limitless memory and ability to reproduce identifiable data from fragments threaten traditional conceptions of forgetting. This Article traces the evolution of the right to be forgotten from its privacy law origins towards an independent entitlement grounded in self-determination for personal information. However, it contends the inherent limitations of using current anonymization, deletion, and geographical blocking mechanisms to prevent AI models from retaining personal data render forgetting infeasible. Moreover, …

This Comment examines the admissibility of internet search history and provides a general legal framework based on the Federal Rules of Evidence. Drawing upon six cases, …

Everybody Wants To Rule The World: Central Bank Digital Currencies In The Era Of Decoupling The World’S Two Largest Economies, James M. Cooper

Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts

Some 130 central banks around the world are experimenting with various levels of a central bank digital currency (“CBDC”), a digitized form of a sovereign-backed, national currency that is a liability of that country’s central bank. Unlike fiat currency, CBDCs are trackable and potentially subject to interference and even freezing by government authorities. CBDCs will affect citizens’ control over commerce, payments, and savings, and impact their privacy rights. The Chinese government has piloted, refined, and rolled out its own CBDC called the Digital Currency/Electronic Payment initiative (“DC/EP”), also known as the digital yuan or e-CNY. The Chinese government is far …

Ncaa Enactment Of A Disciplinary Policy: Uniformity To Regain Institutional Legitimacy, Matteson Landau

Loyola of Los Angeles Entertainment Law Review

This article examines issues surrounding decentralized disciplinary systems and inconsistent enforcement against student-athletes who engage in criminal misconduct across the National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”). The NCAA recognizes the inherent conflicts of interest that arise when institutions are left to regulate their own recruiting practices. To negate these conflicts, the NCAA has established a robust disciplinary system, the NCAA Committee on Infractions, which oversees investigations into violations of NCAA Bylaws, reviews materials provided by the athlete and/or institution, and issues binding rulings which may include suspensions and fines. Yet the NCAA fails to see how the same conflict issues arise …
