Ticketmaster And Live Nation Know Antitrust Laws All Too Well, Olivia Nacionales

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

Almost anyone who has been to a concert, sports match, or any type of live event in recent years has likely had to deal with Ticketmaster, which commands a large majority of the ticketing industry. In November 2022, Ticketmaster faced public scrutiny after its website crashed during the pre-sale for Taylor Swift’s Eras tour. Frustrated fans logged off empty handed after hours of waiting and enduring the website’s glitches and eventual crash. Fans that did secure tickets were required to pay various fees, which Ticketmaster notoriously uses to drive up prices and “extract more money from consumers.” The Chairman of …

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review (CICLR) Blog

In an act that further restricts the rights of women in Turkmenistan, the Turkmen government has imposed a ban on beauty services and limitations on what women can wear. The ban prohibits women from receiving beauty services from salons, including eyelash and nail extensions, tattoos, injections, and hair bleaching. “Sexy” outfits, tight-fitting clothes, and Western-inspired garments are also prohibited under this new mandate.

Beat It: A Proposal To End Bans On Masturbation While Incarcerated, Madison Dougherty

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

There are many rights people forfeit when they are incarcerated; among these is the right to sexual expression. Incarcerated people are punished inconsistently, severely, and arbitrarily for touching themselves. In 2006, Terry Lee Alexander was masturbating alone in a bunk in Broward County, Florida when a female deputy monitoring his cell from a control room over one hundred feet away wrote him up. Alexander was convicted of exposure and sentenced to sixty days in jail. In 2000, a female guard saw Freddie Williams, a then-incarcerated person in a South Carolina prison, turned sideways in his shower towards the wall, stroking …

Mediation Response Unit Shows Potential As An Alternative 911 Response, Olivia Kalsner Kershen

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution (CJCR) Blog

In May 2022, the City of Dayton, Ohio formally launched a new pilot program that sends trained mediators to respond to low emergency 911 calls to de-escalate non-violent conflicts and mediate disputes among community members. This new initiative, called the Mediation Response Unit (MRU), is the first of its kind in the nation as it sends mediation teams to respond to calls without a co-response by police. The idea for the MRU came about through discussions among a Community Engagement Working Group that was formed in 2020 to implement police reforms in the City. The MRU states that its goals …

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

Something is rotten in the Material Plane, but instead of a lich or a mind flayer, it is copyright law that is currently tormenting the Dungeons & Dragons community. Tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (“D&D”) was published by TSR in 1974 and acquired by tabletop games publisher Wizards of the Coast (“WotC”), a subsidiary of Hasbro, in 1997. Over the course of the last five decades, D&D has become a cornerstone of both tabletop roleplaying games and geek culture as a whole. In 2000, WOTC added another level to the culture surrounding D&D by introducing a licensing system called …

New York Adult Survivors Act: A Retroactive Opportunity For Accountability And Justice, Cassidy Moon

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

On November 24, 2022, the New York Adult Survivors Act (“ASA”) claim revival period began, providing adult survivors of certain sexual offenses with a one-year opportunity to retroactively file civil claims against their abusers that were otherwise barred by the 20-year statute of limitations. The ASA follows similar revival statutes in New Jersey, California, and New York itself. It grants a legal remedy to survivors of sexual violence who missed their first opportunity to seek justice[5] and seeks to hold powerful abusers, like Donald Trump, accountable for their actions.
