    CLONES, BONES AND TWILIGHT ZONES: PROTECTING THE DIGITAL PERSONA OF THE QUICK, THE DEAD AND THE IMAGINARY By JosephJ. Beard' ABSTRACT This article explores a developing technology-the creation of digi- tal replicas of individuals, both living and dead, as well as the creation of totally imaginary humans. The article examines the various laws, includ- ing copyright, sui generis, right of publicity and trademark, that may be employed to prevent the creation, duplication and exploitation of digital replicas of individuals as well as to prevent unauthorized alteration of ex- isting images of a person. With respect to totally imaginary digital hu- mans, the article addresses the issue of whether such virtual humans should be treated like real humans or simply as highly sophisticated forms of animated cartoon characters.

Hardback presentation version. William Thomas, the man known as "Buckwheat," one of the most beloved characters in the history of the Our Gang and Little Rascals films, rose from obscurity to become an American icon. Billy's heritage grew to be more than the ninety-three comedies in which he appeared as Buckwheat. He was a husband, father, and soldier. Several generations have come to know Buckwheat as if he was a real person, but few knew Billy, the man behind the myth. In "Otay!" The Billy "Buckwheat" Thomas Story, William Thomas, Jr., Billy's son, joins with acclaimed author David W. Menefee to brush back the sands of time and unearth the facts beneath the fable. For the first time, the true story is told how producer Hal Roach, Sr. plucked three-year-old Billy from hundreds of children and raised him on a pedestal before an adoring public.

  • Melton Barker and the Kidnappers Foil
    Stream of History May 2011 Jackson County - Movies Melton Barker and “The Kidnappers Foil” © 2011 by Robert D. Craig 15650 State Highway A, Kennett, MO 63857 In mid-May 1938, Hollywood came calling on Jackson County. A fancy limousine with California license plates pulled off Highway 67 at Swifton into Buster Cheek’s service station. Out of the car came a round-faced little boy who, when asked his name, replied, “My name’s ‘Spanky,’ and I’m a movie actor.” No further information was required of him because every- one at that time knew who “Spanky” was. He was the famous George “Spanky” McFarland. He appeared in nearly one hundred “Our Gang” films from 1932-1942, and he performed in more than a dozen other shows dur- ing his career. During the 15 minutes his car was being serviced, “Spanky” visited with Mrs. Cheek. She commented that he “appeared to be a per- fectly normal boy, and used no trace of braggadocio in announcing that ‘he was a movie star.’ ” He was a typical boy, curious about things that little boys would find interesting around a service station in the 1930s. “Spanky” might have been surprised to know that less than 20 miles down that same highway, at Newport, there were 100 child movie stars (see listing on page 23). Although obviously they were not in the same league with “Spanky,” some may have thought they were. A movie they starred in had just played several weeks earlier at the Strand Theatre on Walnut Street. They were made stars by Melton Barker.

While his given name is James Hellwig (Hellwig), the name that he chose to live by professionally, and now legally, is “Warrior.” In 1987, Hellwig entered into his first contract with the plaintiff, better known as the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), to perform in wrestling shows.1 The contract provided that any distinctive and identifying indicia for the wrestler, which were developed by the WWF, would be their exclusive property.2 This would grant exclusive license to the WWF for the creation of any characters, names, costumes, themes or gimmicks used by the wrestler in his performance.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

Millions more tuned in to watch the same Stephen Colbert make his return on CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. However, after his first television revival, Viacom quickly shut down any possible future return, claiming that it, not Stephen Colbert the actor, held the copyright to the character Stephen Colbert. While this is not the first time that an actor was ineligible to maintain control over a persona–character he crafted, this incident exposed that copyright law does not have a means of protecting characters who become a true extension of the living, breathing actor.

The children’s summer break is filled with wonder, mischief and adventure while the adults around them struggle with hard times. Throughout the United States, budget motels have become a last refuge for people who have found themselves unable to secure a permanent residence. A growing “hidden homeless” population, 41% of which is composed of families, struggles week to week in order to keep a roof over their heads. Our story takes place just outside of Orlando, the vacation capital of the world and home to “The Most Magical Place on Earth.” Along the main highway that runs through the land of theme parks and resorts, budget motels that once attracted tourists by exploiting the Disney mystique, now house homeless families. Moonee and her twenty-two year old mother, Halley, live at one such establishment — The Magic Castle Motel. The closest thing Moonee has to a father is Bobby, the motel’s manager, a guarded and diligent man who is taunted by the children’s antics. Halley has lost her job and a new girl the same age as Moonee has moved in at the motel next door - it's going to be an eventful summer.

No country in the world is so driven by personality as is the United States. Fame is used to persuade, inspire, and inform Americans in nearly every aspect of their lives. As a group, Americans are fascinated not only with the concept of fame, but also with those who embody its essence. This fascination, while not uncommon in other countries, has reached epic proportions in the United States. Its impact on the legal system has spawned a legal doctrine, the right of publicity, whose primary function is to prevent the unauthorized commercial exploitation of celebrity personas. Since 1953, when the right of publicity first received explicit legal recognition, 4 courts, legislatures, and academicians have become increasingly interested in the doctrine's application and scope.
