You Can’T Go Home Again: The Righthaven Cases And Copyright Trolling On The Internet, Ian Polonsky

Kernochan Center for Law, Media, and the Arts

In the Norwegian folktale Three Billy Goats Gruff, three goats seeking to get fat on the greener pastures of a distant hillside were stopped at the foot of a bridge by a “great ugly troll, with eyes as big as saucers, and a nose as long as a poker.” The troll allowed the first two goats to pass when they assured him of a larger goat to come. Unfortunately, the troll bit off more than he could chew: the third goat was larger than the troll and not the least bit intimidated. The goat launched himself at the troll …

The (Im)Possibility Of "Standard Technical Measures" For Ugc Websites, Laura G. Gallo

Kernochan Center for Law, Media, and the Arts

In today’s highly litigious legal landscape, one might doubt that there could ever be an “open, fair, voluntary” agreement between copyright owners and service providers to police infringement. Congress nevertheless envisioned such a consensus when it developed § (i) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA): “Conditions for [Safe Harbor] Eligibility.” An often-overlooked provision of the DMCA, § 512(i) directs right holders and Internet service providers to work together and agree on “standard technical measures” to “identify or protect copyrighted works.” In addition to being the product of consensus, these measures must be “available ... on reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms” …

The Right To Remain Anonymous: Anonymous Speakers, Confidential Sources And The Public Good, Jocelyn Hanamirian

Kernochan Center for Law, Media, and the Arts

In the digital age, the news media gives voice to anonymous speakers in two ways: reporters may extend confidentiality to sources in exchange for newsworthy information, or a news website may host an online comment function that allows readers to post their reactions to content pseudonymously. Of these two groups of anonymous speakers, only online posters enjoy certain First Amendment protection against a subpoena seeking disclosure of their identities.

The reporter’s privilege has always been legally defined as the professional privilege of a reporter to maintain the confidentiality of his sources. Yet as with all evidentiary privileges, the reporter’s privilege …

Audiovisual Works And The Work For Hire Doctrine In The Internet Age, John L. Schwab

Kernochan Center for Law, Media, and the Arts

The work for hire doctrine is a legal mechanism by which the creator of an artistic work’s employer is deemed the author of that work. While, historically, such employer ownership schemes were not recognized by courts, today the work for hire doctrine is a firmly embedded part of American copyright law. In particular, work for hire has developed into an essential tool of the audiovisual entertainment industry. As discussed in Part I.B, infra, there are a number of reasons that work for hire is a particularly useful ownership allocation scheme for audiovisual works.

Modern technological developments are, however, rapidly altering …
