Welcome To The Real 2011 Nba Lockout: Where Owner-Friendly Tax Provisions And Non-Monetized Benefits Color The Lockout Landscape, Lance Taubin
Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
The 2011 NBA lockout highlighted the financial strategies of team owners, who, despite claiming operational losses, benefited significantly from tax provisions like depreciation and amortization under Section 197 of the IRC, as well as non-monetary benefits that aren't reflected in team financial statements.

Ringing The Bell On Concussions: The Rise Of Head Injuries And Cognitive Decline In Football Players, And The Nfl's Obligation To Improve Safety Measures, Jarryd Werts
Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
The NFL faces significant legal and ethical challenges in addressing the long-term health consequences of concussions among its players. While the league has implemented various safety measures and policies, such as rule changes and educational initiatives, these efforts may be insufficient to fully protect players from the risks associated with repeated head trauma. The NFL must continue to improve its safety protocols not only to safeguard its current and future players but also to set a precedent for other contact sports leagues. The legal battles over negligence and fraud highlight the need for a more robust approach to player health …

A New Look For The Fashion Industry: Redesigning Copyright Law With The Innovative Design Protection And Piracy Protection Act (Idpppa), Brittany West
The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law
Introduced in Congress in August 2010, the Innovative Design Protection and Piracy Prevention Act (IDPPPA) would amend 17 U.S.C. § 1301 to extend copyright protection to unique, distinguishable, non-trivial, and non-utilitarian fashion designs. The fashion industry in the United States is currently a $200 billion industry which is afforded limited intellectual property protection compared to foreign markets. This article explores the applicability of the existing Copyright Act to fashion designs and argues that the IDPPPA takes a narrow approach to eliminate ambiguity present in former bills attempting to amend copyright law. The IDPPPA would incentivize innovation, the ultimate goal of …

Violence Is Never The Answer, Or Is It? Constitutionality Of California's Violent Video Game Regulation, Laura Black
The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law
In 2011, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the California law proscribing the sale of violent video games to minors violated the First Amendment and was, therefore, unconstitutional. Because this is the first video game case to be heard by the Supreme Court, the decision marked a significant milestone for the video game and entertainment industries. The beginning of this note will review the history leading up to the passage of the law as well as examine previous attempts by other states to regulate the distribution of violent video games to minors. Most importantly, this note will explore the …

All Faculty Scholarship
Crowdsourcing Indie Movies Henry H. Perritt, Jr. Abstract Internet-centered technology developments are revolutionizing the ways in which movies can be made. The use of crowdsourcing to make indie movies is a possibility that has not yet been explored fully, although the use of crowdsourcing to raise money for artistic works is growing. Crowdsourcing can be used for every step of making a movie, increasing the range of collaboration available to creators and reducing capital requirements. The article uses a fictional account of a team of young moviemakers to explain how they can use crowdsourcing for each step of making their …

Race, Markets, And Hollywood's Perpetual Antitrust Dilemma, Hosea H. Harvey
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
This Article focuses on the oft-neglected intersection of racially skewed outcomes and anti-competitive markets. Through historical, contextual, and empirical analysis, the Article describes the state of Hollywood motion-picture distribution from its anticompetitive beginnings through the industry's role in creating an anti-competitive, racially divided market at the end of the last century. The Article's evidence suggests that race-based inefficiencies have plagued the film distribution process and such inefficiencies might likely be caused by the anti-competitive structure of the market itself, and not merely by overt or intentional racial-discrimination. After explaining why traditional anti-discrimination laws are ineffective remedies for such inefficiencies, the …

Art Law In Transactional Practice, Jeff W. Slattery
Faculty Scholarship
Artists are increasingly important players in the economic, social, and cultural development of communities throughout the United States. Unfortunately, a lack of adequate funding and appreciation of their legal needs often means artists do not seek or receive transactional legal assistance when it would be beneficial. Attorneys, meanwhile, may perceive the needs of artists as very specialized, and thereby well beyond the scope of services the attorney can provide. For these reasons, artists may find themselves without legal assistance, to the detriment of their business, their creative output, and their community. This article seeks to demystify a number of the …

Countries continue to vary in their approaches - some permit and regulate, and others prohibit online gambling, and even countries that permit and regulate online gambling approach the issue …
