Free Expression In Private Stadia: The Public-Private Nexus And The Reclamation Of Free Expression In Sport, Michael K. Park Apr 2023

Free Expression In Private Stadia: The Public-Private Nexus And The Reclamation Of Free Expression In Sport, Michael K. Park

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

This Article examines how the degree of government and military entwinement with the private enterprise of sport may provide a sufficient nexus for state action, arming athletes with First Amendment protection they would otherwise not possess against private entities. It reviews sport’s historical and cultural ties to militarism and its venerated symbols before exploring the applicability of the theories of state action within the context of private stadia. Anchored by the symbiotic relationship theory, this Article analyzes how the interdependent relationship between the government/military and private sport enterprise may provide the mutual benefits necessary to establish a sports franchise as …

Welcome To Web 3.0: A Reevaluation Of Music Licensing And Consumption To Level The Payment Imbalance For Songwriters, Chelsea Cohen

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

For decades, songwriters have been short changed in their music royalties and copyright splits. This Note explores the historical inequity between songwriters and their counterparts—labels and recording artists—in royalty receipts, and potential methods by which this wrong may be righted in the next iteration of the internet, Web 3.0. Battles of the past can serve as a frame of reference in evaluating how songwriters will be compensated in Web 3.0. Tech companies cannot have a free pass to disregard licensing laws in the name of fast profits. This Note analyzes how music will be consumed and profited off of in …

Formula Unjust: What Formula One Can Learn From The American Justice System To Improve Stewarding, Apratim Vidyarthi Jan 2023

Formula Unjust: What Formula One Can Learn From The American Justice System To Improve Stewarding, Apratim Vidyarthi

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

Formula One (F1), the highest form of motorsport, is one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States, attracting millions of viewers and billions of dollars in investment and prize money. But recent events in F1 have raised questions about the fairness of the sport. This Article contends that the current system of officiating creates unfair outcomes, because officials have overwhelming discretion to make pivotal decisions that significantly impact the outcome of races, and because penalties are applied inconsistently and cannot be appealed. Given the increased professionalization of F1 and the high financial stakes involved, these problems need to be …

From Utilitarianism To Fordism: How Americans Brought The Panopticon Home, Katherine Hoppe Apr 2022

From Utilitarianism To Fordism: How Americans Brought The Panopticon Home, Katherine Hoppe

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

The COVID-19 pandemic forced many not considered essential employees into their homes. Many employers worried about employee accountability, leveraged surveillance techniques to maximize employee performance and ensure productivity. These technologies include screen monitoring software, video recordings of employees within their homes, monitoring of social media, and typing efficiency. While employees continue to work outside of the office, private employers will increasingly monitor employees in spaces traditionally considered private—including the home. As private and public life spheres continue to overlap, privacy for workers may erode. What kinds of surveillance have employees experienced in their homes since the Covid-19 lockdown orders? Moreover, …

The Three Conundrums: Doctrinal, Theoretical, And Practical Confusion In The Law Of Sexually Explicit Speech, Kyla P. Garrett Wagner, P. Brooks Fuller Jul 2021

The Three Conundrums: Doctrinal, Theoretical, And Practical Confusion In The Law Of Sexually Explicit Speech, Kyla P. Garrett Wagner, P. Brooks Fuller

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

In First Amendment law, one rarely disputed notion is that sexually explicit speech is less valuable than so-called “core” forms of expression, such as political discourse. This study revives that dispute with a focus on the Supreme Court’s justifications for categorizing sexually explicit speech as “low-value” in the first place. The analysis reveals three conundrums plaguing the Court’s jurisprudence: categorizing restrictions on sexually explicit speech; interpreting the value and harms of sexually explicit speech; and assessing the evidence (or lack thereof) for restrictions on sexually explicit speech. This article explains how these conundrums should be resolved in sexually explicit speech …

Tobacco And The Small Screen: Why The Tvomb Should Restructure The Parental Guidelines, Courtney Leavitt Jan 2021

Tobacco And The Small Screen: Why The Tvomb Should Restructure The Parental Guidelines, Courtney Leavitt

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

This article summarizes the creation and workings of the TV Parental Guidelines and the Oversight Monitoring Board, potential First Amendment issues of a required rating system, and possible solutions to the problems of the current rating system. The TV Parental Guidelines and the Oversight Monitoring Board were created to fulfill requirements of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The TV Parental Guidelines are meant to empower parents to control the content viewed by their children with useful ratings. However, the accuracy of ratings and understanding of the system are limited. Further, the complaint process is complex, with little authority to enforce …


For An Anti-Discrimination Act For Cyberspace: Two-Sided Pricing, Walled Gardens, And The Depletion Of The Marketplace Of Ideas, Julien Mailland Jan 2021

For An Anti-Discrimination Act For Cyberspace: Two-Sided Pricing, Walled Gardens, And The Depletion Of The Marketplace Of Ideas, Julien Mailland

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

In the wake of renewed policy interest for the regulation of Internet gatekeepers, I argue that the U.S. Congress should pass a sweeping net neutrality regulation, an Anti-Discrimination Act for Cyberspace. Breaking with the tradition of siloed research which has seen similar proposals grounded in economics, computer science, history, political philosophy, and administrative and constitutional law, as separate matters, I offer a multi-disciplinary approach which combines these fields to draw new insights for Internet law and policy. I argue, with reference to leading Supreme Court cases, including Pruneyard Shopping Center v. Robins, that such a law would most likely pass …
