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
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
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 …

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
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 …
