Is The Future Private? A Look Into Litigation Under Illinois’S “Bipa” Law, Paige Green

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

At Meta’s 2019 “F8” virtual development conference, Mark Zuckerberg stood in front of a presentation screen displaying the words, “the future is private.” Zuckerberg’s talking points centered on “build[ing] a more privacy-focused social media platform.” Increasing Meta’s focus on privacy, apparently, does not include ensuring compliance with Illinois’s Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”). While not exactly the first of its kind, a recent class action lawsuit against Meta alleges the company violated Illinois’s BIPA law by capturing, retaining, and profiting from the use of plaintiff’s “voiceprint” without disclosing or creating a meaningful retention policy for doing so.

International Fans Crafting Fan Merchandise For U.S. Musicians: A Trademark Infringement Danger Zone, Gabriella Fernandez

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

In the early 2010s, the term “fandom” gained popularity among teenagers who were deeply devoted to their favorite musicians. The term “fandom” refers to communities of fans who come together through social media to express their shared admiration for a particular artist. When individuals unite to celebrate their mutual love for a musician, a genuine sense of connection and community is established.

Tik Tok And Universal Music Group’S Licensing Battle, Sara Casey

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

A month-long standoff between Universal Music Group (“UMG”) and TikTok persists after combative licensing negotiations have continuously failed. This stalemate led to the removal of UMG’s music from the platform on February 1, 2024, silencing thousands of videos featuring UMG’s music and, in turn, drastically reducing content creators’ music options for new clips. The effects of the broken partnership have materialized, but the extent of the fallout is unclear, as some videos using UMG recordings appeared to be unaffected, while others, such as those featuring tracks by UMG artists Taylor Swift and Drake, have been silenced, accompanied by the statement …
