The Right of Publicity
Author: Jennifer RothmanPublisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674986350
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Who controls how one’s identity is used by others? This legal question, centuries old, demands greater scrutiny in the Internet age. Jennifer Rothman uses the right of publicity—a little-known law, often wielded by celebrities—to answer that question, not just for the famous but for everyone. In challenging the conventional story of the right of publicity’s emergence, development, and justifications, Rothman shows how it transformed people into intellectual property, leading to a bizarre world in which you can lose ownership of your own identity. This shift and the right’s subsequent expansion undermine individual liberty and privacy, restrict free speech, and suppress artistic works. The Right of Publicity traces the right’s origins back to the emergence of the right of privacy in the late 1800s. The central impetus for the adoption of privacy laws was to protect people from “wrongful publicity.” This privacy-based protection was not limited to anonymous private citizens but applied to famous actors, athletes, and politicians. Beginning in the 1950s, the right transformed into a fully transferable intellectual property right, generating a host of legal disputes, from control of dead celebrities like Prince, to the use of student athletes’ images by the NCAA, to lawsuits by users of Facebook and victims of revenge porn. The right of publicity has lost its way. Rothman proposes returning the right to its origins and in the process reclaiming privacy for a public world.

Author: Trademark and Unfair Competition Law
Author: Jane C. GinsburgPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 1102
Book Description
This casebook presents the basic principles of Trademark and Unfair Competition law and procedure, including expert legal analysis. It devotes separate chapters to acquisition of trademark rights; registration of trademarks; loss of trademark rights; infringement of trademarks, including a distinct section on defenses to infringement. The materials on 43(a) highlight both trade dress cases and false advertising cases. The Fourth Edition also amplifies the materials on the relationship of trademarks and freedom of expression. The Fourth Edition brings this casebook up-to-date, including recent cases and legislation, such as the 2006 Trademark Dilution Revision Act. Several chapters have been reorganized, among other things, to take into account the impact of the Internet on almost every aspect of trademark law. The Fourth Edition also emphasizes the international dimension of trademarks by interweaving throughout the book cases and materials addressing problems of extraterritoriality, rather than confining them to a concluding chapter.
