Draft Of Fair Use As Market Failure: A Structural And Economic Analysis Of The Betamax Case And Its Predecessors - 1982, Wendy J. Gordon Dec 1982

Draft Of Fair Use As Market Failure: A Structural And Economic Analysis Of The Betamax Case And Its Predecessors - 1982, Wendy J. Gordon

Scholarship Chronologically

In the recent and much publicized Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Sony Corp. of America (Betamax) case, the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that persons who make videotapes of copyrighted television programs in the privacy of their homes should be considered to be copyright infringers. Basic to the court's reasoning was a misunderstanding of the "fair use" doctrine. Called "the most troublesome [doctrine] in the whole law of copyright," "fair use" renders noninfringing certain uses of copyrighted material that might technically violate the statute, but which do not violate the statute's basic purposes.

Cable, Copyright, Communications: Controversy, Lee Fisher, Sam Salah Jan 1975

Cable, Copyright, Communications: Controversy, Lee Fisher, Sam Salah

Cleveland State Law Review

This Note will examine the efforts of the courts, the legislature, and the Federal Communications Com-mission (FCC) to apply the Copyright Act of 1909 to the technological developments of the twentieth century. It is submitted that the significance of Teleprompter lies not in the Court's determination that there was no copyright infringement -for that finding will soon be negated by upcoming copyright law revision -but in the inability of the Court to discard past inflexible and unrealistic approaches to the 1909 Copyright Act. Offered is a different method of viewing cable communications in terms of the Copyright Act, which recognizes …

Parody and Burlesque as art forms, and their conflicts with the rights of the holder of the original copyrighted work, are subjects of interest to both the layman and the lawyer. To analyze the status of this conflict, several areas must be explored. The following discussion includes a consideration of the current copyright law as it applies to parody and burlesque, a history of parody and burlesque as a literary form, and significant United States cases dealing with the problems of the conflict.

Mechanical Copying, Copyright Law, And The Teacher, Nancy Schuster, Marc J. Bloch

Cleveland State Law Review

This article deals with the infringement problems encountered by a teacher in duplicating copyrighted material for his class. Since the teacher is the "real party in interest," we have attempted to avoid legalistic language (at least without explanation), so as to produce a paper to which the layman, as well as the lawyer may turn for understanding.

Michigan Law Review

Prior to December 1938, Patrick Hamilton wrote an original play entitled "Gaslight" which subsequently was published, performed and protected by copyright in both England and the United States. Loew's acquired exclusive motion picture rights to the play on October 7, 1942, and produced an original feature-length motion picture photoplay of the drama, also entitled "Gaslight." In 1945 Jack Benny sought and received permission to produce a 15-minute parody of the motion picture for his radio program. In 1953, without securing Loew's permission, Benny produced a 15-minute filmed parody of the motion picture for his television program. It was entitled "Autolight" …
