Flag On The Play? The Siphoning Effect On Sports Television, Phillip M. Cox Ii

Federal Communications Law Journal

The tradition of watching the Sunday afternoon football game in front of the television began in 1939. Since then, sports broadcasting has become one of the most powerful revenue-building tools for both media and sports leagues alike. Sports programming is increasingly available only through cable and pay-per-view television, which limits viewers' access to free broadcast televised sporting events. Legislators have now directed the Federal Communications Commission to study the effects of paid access to sports broadcasts, with an eye toward protecting viewers' rights to free access to sports on television.

This Note explains the impact of the Sports Broadcasting Act …

Strange Fixation: Bootleg Sound Recordings Enjoy The Benefits Of Improving Technology, David Schwartz

Federal Communications Law Journal

Entrepreneurs have manufactured unauthorized sound recordings since the'turn of the century. At first, most of these recordings were counterfeits and copies of existing recordings. Starting in the late 1960s, a new genre of unauthorized recording, the "bootleg," found eager listeners, particularly among fans of rock music. Bootlegs offered music that was unavailable elsewhere such as concert recordings and unfinished studio recordings. The widespread availability of compact discs and ever improving recording technology means that some new bootlegs sound better than ever.

This Note explores the history of bootlegs and how copyright law has tried to come to grips with the …

Berne, Cfta, Nafta & (And) Gatt: The Implications Of Copyright Droit Moral And Cultural Exemptions In International Trade Law, Stephen Fraser

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

Beginning with the United States' accession to the Berne Union in 1988-89, through the negotiations for the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the latest round of the General Agreement on Tariffs & Trade (GAIT), copyright law and its attendant industries have become important foci in the area of international trade. Although the United States may be the world leader in the dissemination of movies, television programs, music, and books and even though through Berne, CFTA, NAFTA, and GATT the United States has managed to obtain increased protection for copyrighted content, it …

Poetic Law: A Statement On Intent, Maxwell L. Stearns

Vanderbilt Law Review

In poetry, allegiance to the verse

Lends power to the message in the text

.it Shakespeare's consistency gave his words force

In Hamlet, in King Lear, and in Macbeth

. And yet upon us, free form's presence reigns

- Defenders claim, expands the poet's choice

Removing from the poet meter's chains,

Is likened to providing the mute, voice.
