Runaway Film And Television Production: Carrots, Sticks, & International Tax Reform, Paul Battista Jan 2014

Runaway Film And Television Production: Carrots, Sticks, & International Tax Reform, Paul Battista

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

"Runaway" film and television production is a public policy issue that has been targeted for reform with the goal of its eradication, a goal that has not been achieved. The discussion has framed the issue as one relating to international trade policy and labor policy, and as a result proposals to eradicate the problem have been focused on these areas. This article takes the position that runaway film and television production is an international tax law issue that should be examined within the framework of U.S. international tax policy. In general, the U.S. international tax laws require reform because they …

Legal And Economic Challenges To The Business Model Of The Television Industry, John B. Meisel Jan 2014

Legal And Economic Challenges To The Business Model Of The Television Industry, John B. Meisel

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

Gaining access to content is critically important for entrance into the television industry; this is a necessary input to become a viable competitor against incumbent video industry players. However, incumbents have the ability and incentive to withhold programming that discourages potential competitors from entering the market. Entrants, built up over a long period of time, confront a symbiotic relationship between traditional content providers and incumbent content distributors. Access to video programming or access in the format (i.e., online) that a viewer chooses is in high demand. This demand is evident by an increasing number of legal, technological, economic, and political …

Authorship Atomized: Modeling Ownership In Participatory Media Productions, Elisabeth S. Aultman Jan 2014

Authorship Atomized: Modeling Ownership In Participatory Media Productions, Elisabeth S. Aultman

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

The aim of this article is to posit a solution, grounded in legal realism, for the practical issues that arise when copyright law and content monetizers encounter a work (or perhaps more accurately, a series of interdependent works) with an unprecedented number of people who could ostensibly assert authorship over some element of the content.

Here We Are Now, Entertain Us: Defining The Line Between Personal And Professional Context On Social Media, 35 Pace L. Rev. 398 (2014), Raizel Liebler, Keidra Chaney

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allow individuals and companies to connect directly and regularly with an audience of peers or with the public at large. These websites combine the audience-building platforms of mass media with the personal data and relationships of in-person social networks. Due to a combination of evolving user activity and frequent updates to functionality and user features, social media tools blur the line of whether a speaker is perceived as speaking to a specific and presumed private audience, a public expression of one’s own personal views, or a representative viewpoint of an entire …

Field Of Dreams: Is The Movie Site's Commercialization A Dream Plan With Significant Benefits Or A Nightmare Script With Crippling Effects?, Michael J. Mcgraw

Texas A&M Journal of Property Law

This Comment will detail the field’s powerful attraction, discuss and analyze the applicable zoning laws and governing case law associated with comparable property disputes in relation to the present facts, praise the use of tax rebates to help subsidize the project, and assert that the public sector could have established even further requirements for the private business to meet before receiving such substantial public funds.

Regulating The Unregulable: Finding The Proper Scope For Legislation To Combat Copyright Infringement On The Internet, Melis Atalay Jan 2014

Regulating The Unregulable: Finding The Proper Scope For Legislation To Combat Copyright Infringement On The Internet, Melis Atalay

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

This note seeks to critically evaluate the current trend of copyright legislation, and use the response for legislation to hypothesize what sort copyright legislation for the Internet may be successful in the future. The SOPA/PIPA legacy provides evidence for today's legislature that broad reforms will not work. Indeed the reigning in seen in OPEN was a reflection of SOPA/PIPA progeny being responsive to public outcry over SOPA/PIPA. I conclude that OPEN would have been an appropriate balance of constriction and Internet availability. If passed, OPEN would have been a step in the right direction to combat the illegal access and …

Celebrity Politicians And Publicity Rights In The Age Of Obama, Michael G. Bennett Jan 2014

Celebrity Politicians And Publicity Rights In The Age Of Obama, Michael G. Bennett

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

The right of publicity is a relatively marginalized yet increasingly radical form of intellectual property. Typically, celebrities use it to prevent freeloaders from profiting on their fame by making unauthorized use of their image, likeness or signature to make goods or services more attractive to consumers. The right of publicity allows famous individuals to stop this type of behavior by providing a property right in identity or persona. Brandished by celebrities who are also political figures, though, the doctrine can become a powerful means of chilling political speech, and therefore a direct threat to First Amendment free speech rights. The …

Bag Men And The Ghost Of Richard Jewell: Some Legal And Ethical Lessons About Implied Defamation, Headlines, And Reporting On Breaking Criminal Activity From Barhoum V. Nyp Holdings, Clay Calvert, Daniel Axelrod, Sarah Papadelias, Linda Riedemann Jan 2014

Bag Men And The Ghost Of Richard Jewell: Some Legal And Ethical Lessons About Implied Defamation, Headlines, And Reporting On Breaking Criminal Activity From Barhoum V. Nyp Holdings, Clay Calvert, Daniel Axelrod, Sarah Papadelias, Linda Riedemann

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

This article analyzes and explores the complex issues of libel by implication and defamatory meaning raised in the ongoing libel suit of Barhoum v. NYP Holdings. The case pivots on the New York Post's "BAG MEN" cover that ran on April 18, 2013, and featured a large photo of two men cleared of wrongdoing in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing. This article, which compares and contrasts Barhoum to decisions such as Kaelin v. Globe Communications Corp. and Stanton v. Metro Corp., also examines the possible impact of the New York Post's tiny front-page disclaimer. Furthermore, this article considers how …

Rethinking Online Privacy Litigation As Google Expands Use Of Tracking: Giving Meaning To Our Online Browsing And The Federal Wiretap Act, Filip Babic Jan 2014

Rethinking Online Privacy Litigation As Google Expands Use Of Tracking: Giving Meaning To Our Online Browsing And The Federal Wiretap Act, Filip Babic

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

This note will argue that Google's new privacy policies violate the Wiretap Act as amended by the Electronic Communication Privacy Act. The Wiretap Act provides a cause of action against anyone who "intentionally intercepts, endeavors to intercept, or procures any other person to intercept or endeavor to intercept, any wire, oral, or electronic communication." The Wiretap Act, originally drafted to prevent eavesdropping on telephone conversations, requires interception of the contents of communication and not merely the circumstances surrounding the communication. As Google's practices have made it easier for users to characterize their searches as the "contents of communication," the Wiretap …

Adapt Or Die: Aereo, Ivi, And The Right Of Control In An Evolving Digital Age, Johanna R. Alves-Parks

Loyola of Los Angeles Entertainment Law Review

The advent of the Internet has had a great effect on the production, distribution, and consumption of television programming. The Supreme Court granted certiorari to ABC, Inc. v. Aereo, Inc. and will now review the issue of unlicensed digital distribution of copyrighted programming in its Spring 2014 term. This Comment will first briefly examine the origins and interconnection between television and digital media, culminating in a discussion of the repercussions of allowing unlicensed over-the-top retransmissions of network broadcast programming to continue to stream over the Internet. It will then examine the decisions in WPIX v. IVI, Inc., ABC, Inc. v. …

They’Re Playing Our Song! The Promise And The Perils Of Music Copyright Litigation, 13 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 555 (2014), William R. Coulson

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

Music copyright cases are unique, costly, difficult, and complex. It was no different in the case where Ray Repp, a music composer for a Catholic publishing house, filed suit against Andrew Lloyd Webber, the famed British composer most famous for such Broadway hits as Cats and Phantom of the Opera. Repp alleged that Webber’s “Phantom Song,” the theme music for the Phantom of the Opera musical, infringed Repp’s song “Till You,” which he wrote and copyrighted almost a decade earlier. Webber in turn claimed that Repp’s “Till You” was in fact a copy of an even earlier Webber song, “Close …

Streaming Into The Future: Why Legislation And Technology Have Opened Pandora’S Box For The Recording Industry And The Webcasting Services, 13 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 649 (2014), Rachael Stack

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

Today, music is everywhere, but this was not always the case. Listeners are surrounded by endless access to libraries and playlists from the advancement in technology. With the rapid technological advancements, Copyright law has been left behind at a stand still. Since the enactment of the Copyright Act, sound recordings have received less favorable treatment compared to their music counterpart. Sound recording copyrights are afforded digital performance royalties when broadcasted on popular Internet streaming services, like Pandora. In the last few years, music streaming has become more popular among listeners and thus, more sound recording royalties have been distributed; but, …

Lessons From The Nba Lockout: Union Democracy, Public Support, And The Folly Of The National Basketball Players Association, Matthew Parlow Jan 2014

Lessons From The Nba Lockout: Union Democracy, Public Support, And The Folly Of The National Basketball Players Association, Matthew Parlow

Oklahoma Law Review

By most accounts, the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA)—the union representing the players in the NBA—conceded a significant amount of money and other contractual terms in the new ten year collective bargaining agreement (2011 Agreement) that ended the 2011 NBA lockout. Player concessions were predictable because the NBA’s economic structure desperately needed an overhaul. The magnitude of such concessions, however, was startling. The substantial changes in the division of basketball-related income, contract lengths and amounts, salary cap provisions, and revenue sharing rendered the NBA lockout—and the resulting 2011 Agreement—a near-complete victory for the owners. Several interpretations have been offered to …
