Madisonian Fair Use, Michael J. Madison
Madisonian Fair Use, Michael J. Madison
Articles
This short essay reflects on developments in the law, scholarship, and practice of fair use since the publication in 2004 of an earlier article on patterns in fair use practice and adjudication. It synthesizes many of those developments in the idea of “Madisonian” fair use, borrowing the separation of powers metaphor from James Madison’s work on the US Constitution and applying it, lightly and in a preliminary way, to copyright.
The End Of The Work As We Know It, Michael J. Madison
The End Of The Work As We Know It, Michael J. Madison
Articles
This paper takes a new look at the concept of the work of authorship in copyright, known in other systems as the copyright work. It complements inquiries into authorship and originality, extending earlier scholarship on the origins of legal “things” or objects and on the multi-dimensional character of their borders and boundaries.
Copyright’S Creative Hierarchy In The Performing Arts, Michael W. Carroll
Copyright’S Creative Hierarchy In The Performing Arts, Michael W. Carroll
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Copyright law grants authors certain rights of creative control over their works. This Article argues that these rights of creative control are too strong when applied to the performing arts because they fail to take account of the mutual dependence between writers and performers to fully realize the work in performance. This failure is particularly problematic in cases in which the author of a source work, such as a play or a choreographic work, imposes content-based restrictions on how a third party may render the work in performance. This Article then explores how Congress might craft a statutory license to …
Book Review: William F. Patry, How To Fix Copyright, Graham Reynolds
Book Review: William F. Patry, How To Fix Copyright, Graham Reynolds
Canadian Journal of Law and Technology
In How to Fix Copyright, William F. Patry, one of America’s leading experts on copyright, calls for a “top-to-bottom, systemic overhaul” of copyright laws. For a Canadian readership in the midst of our own process of copyright reform, such a call to action is both timely and relevant.
Copyright Law And Pornography, Ann Bartow
Copyright Law And Pornography, Ann Bartow
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Sex-for-hire is usually illegal, unless it is being filmed. Debates about pornography tread uneasily into legal terrain that implicates freedom of expression under the First Amendment, the specter of censorship, and genuine concerns about the function and role of pornography in persistent gender inequality. It is less common for conversations about pornography to include a discussion of copyright law. Yet copyright law is a powerful tool that operates to protect the financial interests of pornographers. Owners of copyrighted pornography frequently threaten public exposure of an alleged infringer’s consumption habits in order to force a financial settlement. Thus copyright law operates …
Appropriate Testing And Resolution: How To Determine Whether Appropriation Art Is Transformative Fair Use Or Merely In Unauthorized Derivative., Eric D. Gorman
Appropriate Testing And Resolution: How To Determine Whether Appropriation Art Is Transformative Fair Use Or Merely In Unauthorized Derivative., Eric D. Gorman
St. Mary's Law Journal
This Article addresses the copyright concerns in appropriation art today and concludes that copyright law should be amended to address the complex issues found in this area of the law. Part II provides a background on appropriation art and the different facets of copyright law, including the doctrine of fair use. Part III analyzes whether appropriation art can even be considered “fair use” under the current exceptions of copyright infringement. Part IV discusses various legal tests to determine whether appropriation art that utilizes copyrighted material can exercise the doctrine of fair use against alleged copyright infringement. It also proposes a …

The Future Of Cybertravel: Legal Implications Of The Evasion Of Geolocation, Marketa Trimble
Scholarly Works
Although the Internet is valued by many of its supporters particularly because it both defies and defeats physical borders, these important attributes are now being exposed to attempts by both governments and private entities to impose territorial limits through blocking or permitting access to content by Internet users based on their geographical location—a territorial partitioning of the Internet. One of these attempts, for example, is the recent Stop Online Piracy Act (“SOPA”) proposal in the United States. This article, as opposed to earlier literature on the topic discussing the possible virtues and methods of erecting borders in cyberspace, focuses on …

The paper concludes that Morocco can, and ought to, enact exceptions and limitations that facilitate meaningful access to orphan works in both analogue and digital formats.
Sex Exceptionalism In Intellectual Property, Jennifer E. Rothman
Sex Exceptionalism In Intellectual Property, Jennifer E. Rothman
All Faculty Scholarship
The state regulates sexual activity through a combination of criminal and civil sanctions and the award of benefits, such as marriage and First Amendment protections, for acts and speech that conform with the state’s vision of acceptable sex. Although the penalties for non-compliance with the state’s vision of appropriate sex are less severe in intellectual property law than those, for example, in criminal or family law, IP law also signals the state’s views of sex. In this Article written for the Stanford symposium on the Adult Entertainment industry, I extend my consideration of the law’s treatment of sex after Lawrence …
Five Reforms For Copyright, Tom Bell
A Contrarian View Of Copyright: Hip-Hop, Sampling, And Semiotic Democracy, Thomas Joo
A Contrarian View Of Copyright: Hip-Hop, Sampling, And Semiotic Democracy, Thomas Joo
Thomas W Joo
A dominant trend in intellectual property (IP) theory asserts that technologies such as digital copying enable individuals to resist the cultural dominance of the media industry. Under this view, individuals appropriate cultural material and “recode” it by assigning alternative meanings to it. By enabling more people to participate in the making of cultural meanings, recoding supposedly enhances “semiotic democracy.” IP theorists tend to argue that copyright law inhibits recoding, thus stifling semiotic democracy. The use of sampling in hip-hop music is frequently cited as a paradigmatic example of recoding that has been stifled by IP law.
This paper uses history, …
Love’S Labor’S Lost: Marry For Love, Copyright Work Made-For-Hire, And Alienate At Your Leisure, Llewellyn Joseph Gibbons
Love’S Labor’S Lost: Marry For Love, Copyright Work Made-For-Hire, And Alienate At Your Leisure, Llewellyn Joseph Gibbons
Llewellyn Joseph Gibbons
Although only two courts have decided cases involving whether under state law an author-spouse’s copyright is community property, some commentators are treating this question as settled law. There are no cases deciding these issues in non-community property states or under state laws protecting the property interests of cohabiting couples. This article will examine whether state domestic relations laws governing the allocation of copyright interests, including economic rights, are preempted by federal law. Because the articles concludes that under principles of federal preemption, the interests in the author-spouses copyrights are not subject to transfer by operation of state law; this article …
The Rise Of Nollywood: Creators, Entrepreneurs, And Pirates, Olufunmilayo B. Arewa
The Rise Of Nollywood: Creators, Entrepreneurs, And Pirates, Olufunmilayo B. Arewa
Olufunmilayo B. Arewa
The rise of Nollywood illustrates the revolutionary potential of digital technologies in Africa. Nollywood, or the Nigerian video film industry, reflects technology leapfrogging that is increasingly prominent in Africa today. Such leapfrogging, however, may raise significant issues with respect to legal and other institutions. Film production had largely ceased in Nigeria by the end of the 1980s. Despite this absence, in the early 1990s, Nigeria started on a path that has led it to become the top producer of digital video films in the world. Nigeria is, however, an unlikely locale for the development of a major film industry. In …
Copyright In Standards: A Guide For Practitioners, Tyrone Berger
Copyright In Standards: A Guide For Practitioners, Tyrone Berger
Dr Tyrone Berger
Legal practitioners, in-house counsel and public servants can play an active role in advising their clients or contractors that industry or technical standards may be subject to copyright protection. Parties contributing to the development of a formal industry standard should ensure that they contract to retain copyright in any contributed works, even in instances where copyright cannot be asserted in the published standard by the Standard-Setting Organisation (SSO).
