The Black Sox Trial: An Account, Douglas O. Linder Jan 2007

The Black Sox Trial: An Account, Douglas O. Linder

Faculty Works

The players on Charles Comiskey's 1919 Chicago White Sox team were a fractious lot with plenty to complain about. The club was divided into two gangs of players, each with practically nothing to say to the other. Together they formed the best team in baseball -- perhaps one of the best teams that ever played the game -- yet they were paid a fraction of what many players on other teams received. Comiskey's contributions to baseball were beyond question, but he was both a tightwad and a tyrant. The White Sox owner paid two of his greatest stars, outfielder Shoeless …


Dealing With Casual Piracy: Limiting Distribution Of Copyrighted Content With Digital Rights Management, Bimal J. Rajkomar Jan 2007

Dealing With Casual Piracy: Limiting Distribution Of Copyrighted Content With Digital Rights Management, Bimal J. Rajkomar

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

This article argues that it is possible to implement DRM schemes without eroding the public's trust by offering consumers a choice between technologically-restricted and unrestricted content. Part I discusses how DRM have harmed voluntary compliance with the law. Part II examines the biggest copyright governance issue confronting peer-to-peer networks: casual piracy. Part III explain show a bifurcated licensing scheme can allow content providers to benefit from DRM without incurring its usual costs. Note that some music distributors and labels have begun to adopt this licensing structure.

Defending Artistry By Deleting "Dead Capital:" Sony, Grokster, And The Supreme Court's Lost Opportunity To Eradicate The "Substantial Non-Infringing Use" Doctrine, Joshua E. Carpenter

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

The administration of copyright law manages the trade-off between the benefits derived from encouraging the creation of works and artistic protection and the cost of restricting access. Copyright law cannot work without a strong legal system that strictly reads the rights granted to those seeking the law's protection and against those seeking to find creative ways to avert the law's protections. Ironically, certain technology providers want protection against others' infringement on their technological creations, but they accept that their businesses base themselves on eroding the value of another's hard work and innovation. Sony allows technology companies to hide behind the …


A Bright Line At Any Cost: The Sixth Circuit Unjustifiably Weakens The Protection For Musical Composition Copyrights In Bridgeport Music V.Dimension Films, Michael J. Galvin Jan 2007

A Bright Line At Any Cost: The Sixth Circuit Unjustifiably Weakens The Protection For Musical Composition Copyrights In Bridgeport Music V.Dimension Films, Michael J. Galvin

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

On June 3, 2005, the Sixth Circuit issued its final amended opinion in Bridgeport Music v. Dimension Films,' in which it held that any amount of unauthorized digital sampling from a sound recording is per se copyright infringement. The court justified this ruling on what it termed a "literal reading" of Section 114 of the Copyright Act, which covers the rights a copyright holder has in a sound recording. While such a bright-line rule may have some superficial appeal, the court's efforts at harmonizing current music industry practices with copyright laws written long before such practices were commonplace has resulted …

From Habermas To "Get Rich Or Die Tryin": Hip Hop, The Telecommunications Act Of 1996, And The Black Public Sphere, Akilah N. Folami

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

This Article explores the manner in which gangsta rappers, who are primarily young urban Black men, navigate the mass media and rap's commercialization of the gangsta image to continue to provide seeds of political expression and resistance to that image. While other scholars have considered the political nature of rap in the context of the First Amendment, this Article's approach is unique in that it is the first to explore such concepts through the lenses of Habermas' ideal public sphere and those of his critics. While many have written gangsta rap off as being commercially co-opted or useless given its …
