The Zoning Of Adult Entertainment: How Far Can Planning Commissions Go, Raymond H. Aver Jan 1982

The Zoning Of Adult Entertainment: How Far Can Planning Commissions Go, Raymond H. Aver

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

Since 1976, when the United States Supreme Court decided Young v. American Mini Theaters, municipalities across the country have enacted zoning ordinances regulating adult entertainment, patterned after the ordinance upheld in Young. Unlike the ordinance in Young, many of these later ordinances have resulted in limitations upon protected speech. This note suggests a framework for analyzing the constitutionality of ordinances and moratoria which regulated the location of adult entertainment establishments.

UC Law SF International Law Review

With man's quest for fossil fuels reaching into the depths of the ocean, the possibility of accidents occurring with transnational results increases.

The authors examine the basis for liability of a polluting state in international law and some of the difficulties in enforcement.

Comparative View Of The Law Of Trademarked Generic Words, A, Ralph H. Folsom, Larry L. Teply Jan 1982

Comparative View Of The Law Of Trademarked Generic Words, A, Ralph H. Folsom, Larry L. Teply

UC Law SF International Law Review

Legal systems that enforce exclusive rights to words claimed as trademarks face two common problems: the trademark may degenerate into a generic word for the product, and a manufacturer may try to restrict a generic product name from the public domain by various means. Difficult questions must be confronted when the trademark claimant seeks to enforce the generic word. The authors compare the approaches that have been taken by the United States and four Commonwealth countries, all of which have evolved very different common-law and statutory solutions. The Article concludes that although there are shortcomings in American law, they are …

Orderly Marketing Agreements: Analysis Of United States Automobile Industry Efforts To Obtain Import Relief, Liberty Mahshigian

UC Law SF International Law Review

The fundamental trade policy of the United States is set forth in the Trade Act of 1974, which includes procedures for implementing import relief. Petitions for such relief are submitted to the International Trade Commission, and a recommendation is made to the President upon an affirmative finding. A negative determination by the International Trade Commission, however, presents some problems with which the Trade Act is not equipped to deal. This Note analyzes these problems in the context of the situation surrounding the importation of Japanese automobiles in 1980, in which the Commission determined that import relief was not warranted. The …

Can A Computer Be An Author - Copyright Aspects Of Artificial Intelligence, Timothy L. Butler

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

This note discusses the impact of current advances in computer science upon traditional copyright notions of authorship and originality. Finding that certain works created largely by computer are outside the ambit of federal copyright law, yet in need of protection for traditional policy reasons, the author explores several alternatives for providing copyright protection. A solution is proposed wherein the court presumes human authorship in machine created works, then, after ascertaining that the work meets the other requirements of federal copyright law, determines which individual is most deserving of copyright ownership.

As Interactive Cable Enters, Does Privacy Go Out The Window, Gary Selvin

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

Interactive cable will provide consumers with the ability to bank, shop, attend classes, respond to polls, view programs and attend to other daily activities from the home through a television set linked to a computer. Storage of this personal information poses a privacy concern relating to the government's ability to search the records as part of criminal investigations. The author analogizes current law in forecasting possible judicial treatment of Fourth Amendment protection and suggests possible methods for establishing a clear standard which would maximize subscriber protection.


Law, Medicine And The Mass Media: Uneasy Partners, Bernard Rubin Jan 1982

Law, Medicine And The Mass Media: Uneasy Partners, Bernard Rubin

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

Restraints have long been imposed on speech and advertising by doctors and lawyers with the result that members of these professions have traditionally feared publicity. Modern times, however, witness increasing exposure of the professions in the media. The author examines the traditional restraints, First Amendment implications, and the performance of the media in presenting legal and medical issues. He proposes new standards for medical and legal reporters and reports, and concludes that involvement in public debate should be part of satisfactory professional conduct.
