FIFA’s president, Sepp Blatter, stated that hosting the World Cup in Qatar, an “unstable region of the world,” is intended to unify millions of people that may not otherwise come together, such as Israelis and Palestinians.

University of Baltimore Law Review

Artists in the United States who sell their works without contractually reserving any rights in the same currently enjoy only limited rights under federal copyright laws to exercise continuing control over such works.
