Section 230: The Internet's Most Important And Most Misunderstood Law Is Unfairly Under Attack, Málfríður A. Helgadóttir
Section 230: The Internet's Most Important And Most Misunderstood Law Is Unfairly Under Attack, Málfríður A. Helgadóttir
Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a foundational law enabling the modern internet, is under threat despite its critical role in protecting online platforms from liability for user-generated content. The article argues that Section 230 is essential for promoting free speech and innovation, as its repeal would force platforms to censor content to avoid liability, fundamentally altering the internet. Critics often misunderstand the law, and bipartisan attacks jeopardize its future, risking the unravelling of the internet as we know it.

Five Reflections From Five Years Of Fosta/Sesta, Kendra Albert
Five Reflections From Five Years Of Fosta/Sesta, Kendra Albert
Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal
The article critically examines the impact of the Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) and the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA), arguing that these laws have disproportionately harmed sex workers by leading to widespread deplatforming and increased criminalization. While FOSTA/SESTA aimed to combat sex trafficking, the author contends that the legislation conflated sex work with trafficking, resulting in the shutdown of harm reduction platforms and exacerbating risks for sex workers. The article emphasizes the need to center the voices of marginalized communities in policy-making and advocates for decriminalization as a more effective approach to preventing exploitation.

Fulfilling The Right To Follow: Using Blockchain To Enforce The Artist's Resale Right, Zhao Zhao
Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal
Visual artists in countries that do not recognize the artist's resale right are at an economic disadvantage, while some countries that recognize the right experience practical difficulties in identifying and tracking resales that are subject to royalty payments for artists. As blockchain technology becomes increasingly applied to the creative industries, the full extent of its potential in enforcing droit de suite by improving the traceability of physical artwork has yet to be realized. Blockchain can be an effective mechanism for enforcing the artist's resale right as an alternative to collective management organizations. Through an analysis of the ability of blockchain …
The Fourth Amendment At The Border, Daniel Farrell
The Fourth Amendment At The Border, Daniel Farrell
Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal
The note addresses the tension between the Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and the border search exception, focusing on electronic devices. It argues that despite the border exception, which allows warrantless searches, electronic devices should be treated differently due to the vast personal data they contain. The author advocates for a uniform standard requiring probable cause for invasive searches of electronic devices at the border to balance privacy rights with national security concerns.
Post-Etherdelta: Clarifying Liabilities For Cryptocurrency Exchanges And Market Participants, Robert Sistoso
Post-Etherdelta: Clarifying Liabilities For Cryptocurrency Exchanges And Market Participants, Robert Sistoso
Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal
The rise of cryptocurrencies has led to the development of both centralized and decentralized exchanges, which face significant regulatory challenges under U.S. securities laws. The SEC has applied the Howey test to determine whether tokens qualify as securities, and its enforcement actions, such as against EtherDelta, highlight the need for clarity on the liabilities of developers, operators, and users in decentralized systems. The article advocates for the SEC to refine its regulatory approach to balance investor protection with the promotion of innovation in blockchain technology.

Fashion Forward: Fashion Innovation In The Era Of Disruption, Francesca M. Witzburg
Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal
The fashion industry, a significant global economic and cultural force, faces disruption from fast fashion and digital acceleration, challenging traditional legal protections. While the U.S. offers limited intellectual property (IP) safeguards for fashion designs compared to the European Union, the industry's rapid evolution suggests that innovation through new business models, rather than stricter IP laws, may be the key to future success.

Copyright Issues With The "Black Hole" Image And Their Legal Implications, Yahong Li
Copyright Issues With The "Black Hole" Image And Their Legal Implications, Yahong Li
Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal
The release of the world'sfirst-ever black hole image generated an immediate copyright dispute and revealed multiple copyright issues that remain unsettled This Article argues that the black hole image should be left in the public domain without copyright protection for the following reasons: First, the image 's copyrightability and copyright ownership are too uncertain to warrant legal protection, making fair use and compulsory licensing largely irrelevant; second, the image is a work of worldwide significance that was created through broad international collaboration with substantial public funding, which strongly implies a public interest in access to the work; and third, a …
Governing The Patent Commons, Dirk Auer, Julian Morris
Governing The Patent Commons, Dirk Auer, Julian Morris
Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal
Thousands of patents underpin the technologies that power the digital economy. Coordination among firms developing and implementing these novel technologies has notably been facilitated in large part by Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs). Despite the evident benefits of standardization in general and SDOs in particular, certain aspects of these processes have come under severe scrutiny from scholars, antitrust authorities, and courts. These critics argue that the standardization space suffers from two crippling market failures, namely "patent holdup" and "royalty stacking." They thus conclude that opportunistic firms will squeeze their rivals 'profits, harming consumers and stifling innovation in the process. However, recent …
One Consumer’S Trash Is Another’S Treasure: Upcycling’S Place In Trademark Law, Jolie Brett Schenerman
One Consumer’S Trash Is Another’S Treasure: Upcycling’S Place In Trademark Law, Jolie Brett Schenerman
Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal
The note argues that upcycling, the process of creating new, high-value products from salvaged materials, should be protected under trademark law's fair use doctrine. It contends that upcycling, unlike traditional infringement, does not confuse consumers about the source of goods and instead creates transformative works that benefit both sustainability and brand relevance. The analysis draws parallels between upcycling and parody, advocating for similar legal protections, and highlights the evolving relationship between luxury brands and upcyclers, from litigation to collaboration.
The Current Application Of The Myriad And Mayo/Alice Rulings On Patent Eligibility: Inconsistent Results And Contradistinguishing Biotechnology Products, Skye Cho
Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal
The note examines the inconsistent application of the patent eligibility framework under Section 101 of the Patent Act, particularly in biotechnology. It argues that despite efforts by the USPTO to clarify the framework through memos and examples, courts have applied it inconsistently, leading to discrimination against biotechnology products. The analysis focuses on key Supreme Court decisions, such as Myriad Genetics and Mayo, and their impact on the patent eligibility of biotechnological innovations. The note highlights the need for clearer guidance to ensure consistent outcomes and fair treatment of biotechnological inventions.

Transforming “Total Concept And Feel”; Dialogic Creativity And Copyright’S Substantial Similarity Doctrine, Carys J. Craig
Transforming “Total Concept And Feel”; Dialogic Creativity And Copyright’S Substantial Similarity Doctrine, Carys J. Craig
Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal
Copyright infringement doctrine currently overprotects copyright owners against the perceived wrong of copying, failing to adequately countenance copying as an essential part of the authorial creative process. Drawing on existing infringement doctrine in the United States and Canada, this Article will offer an interpretation of "substantial similarity" that opens up (or at least better safeguards) space for creative copying that is to say, copying that substantially transforms the original copied work and, in doing so, advances the public interest goals of the copyright system. Part I lays the groundwork by briefly presenting a dialogic vision of authorship that complicates conventional …

But the smart wave will not stop with stuff with related trends such as the Internet of Bodies now coming into vogue. It seems that, if anything, humanity is headed toward an Internet of Everything. Yet it is an open …
