Both the conference program and the city provided a stimulating environment for attendees. The conference theme, “Enhancing Knowledge Development in Marketing,” encouraged the examination of new approaches to marketing to help both academics and practitioners keep pace with a fast-changing global business environment. The competitive sessions and the large number of special sessions, from both the Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and tracks, helped ensure that the conference accomplished this task. The task of organizing a conference with 80 sessions and hundreds of participants is daunting. To accomplish this, the dedicated efforts of a large number of people are required. First, there are the individuals who submitted papers and developed special sessions. Then, there are the hundreds of reviewers who gave their time and shared their knowledge to enhance the quality of the program. Without their efforts, the papers and special sessions would not have been nearly as beneficial to conference attendees. It goes without saying that the efforts of presenters, discussants, and session chairs in the competitive and special sessions are invaluable. We would be remiss if we did not also acknowledge the efforts that resulted in the special sessions proposed by the SIGs. These sessions represent some of the most informative and useful sessions of the conference. Finally, we wish to acknowledge the work of our conference “Best Paper” committee, which was headed by Tom Kinnear, University of Michigan. Anyone who has worked closely with an AMA Educators’ Conference knows that the track chairs are responsible for accomplishing the lion’s share of the work. The chairs and cochairs of the 14 tracks have worked for more than a year to encourage submissions, coordinate the review process, build the sessions, and provide support and encourage- ment for the special sessions included in the program. We thank them for their tireless efforts. By track, the chairs are as follows: Consumer Behavior Peter A. Dacin, Queens University Global and Cross-Cultural Marketing Jerome Williams, University of Texas at Austin Societal, Public Policy and Ethical Issues Debra J. Ringold, Willamette University Marketing Communications as Integrated Brand Building Chris T. Allen, University of Cincinnati E-Commerce and Technology V.

We also acknowledge the help of previous conference chairs Randy L. Rose, Bruce Money, William Kehoe and Bill Lindgren for their help in bringing us up to speed and launching this year’s program. The AMA staff also deserve thanks for their help and professionalism. In particular, Clara Nelson, Lynn Brown, Charles Chandler, and Pat Goodrich have kept us on task and on time. Thanks also to Marie Steinhoff for typesetting the proceedings. It was a great conference experience as represented by these proceedings!

    Changing Shape: The Evolution of Fat Female Characters in Contemporary American Film A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Laura E. Pohlman April 2016 © 2016 Laura E. Pohlman. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Changing Shape: The Evolution of Fat Female Characters in Contemporary American Film by LAURA E. POHLMAN has been approved for the School of Film and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Assistant Professor of Film Studies Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 Abstract LAURA E. POHLMAN, M.A., April 2016, Film Changing Shape: The Evolution of Fat Female Characters in Contemporary American Film Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz The purpose of this thesis is to elucidate the fluid conception of fat women within contemporary American culture from the early 1970s to the present. Due to their non- normative embodiment, fat women typically face denigration and marginalization. Most mainstream film narratives reify the negative social positioning of fat women, often through assimilationist characters that resign themselves to fatphobia or otherwise compensate for their fatness. On the flipside, carnival and camp narratives foster liberatory fat characterization, as exemplified by the figure of “the unruly woman.” In his portrayal of both assimilationist and liberationist women, Divine functions as a barometer for subsequent fat characterization. Overall, this thesis critiques fat assimilation, argues for the importance of fat liberation, and projects a future where fat acceptance becomes the norm. 4 Table of Contents Page Abstract ..............................................................................................................................

  • Section 512 of Title 17 a Report of the Register of Copyrights May 2020 United States Copyright Office
    united states copyright office section 512 of title 17 a report of the register of copyrights may 2020 united states copyright office section 512 of title 17 a report of the register of copyrights may 2020 U.S. Copyright Office Section 512 Report ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The publication of this Report is the final output of several years of effort by the Copyright Office to assist Congress with evaluating ways to update the Copyright Act for the 21st century. The genesis of this Report occurred in the midst of the two years of copyright review hearings held by the House Judiciary Committee that spanned the 113th and 114th Congresses. At the twentieth and final hearing in April 2015, the Copyright Office proposed several policy studies to aid Congress in its further review of the Copyright Act. Two studies already underway at the time were completed after the hearings: Orphan Works and Mass Digitization (2015), which the Office later supplemented with a letter to Congress on the “Mass Digitization Pilot Program” (2017), and The Making Available Right in the United States (2016). Additional studies proposed during the final hearing that were subsequently issued by the Office included: the discussion document Section 108 of Title 17 (2017), Section 1201 of Title 17 (2017), and Authors, Attribution, and Integrity: Examining Moral Rights in the United States (2019). The Office also evaluated how the current copyright system works for visual artists, which resulted in the letter to Congress titled “Copyright and Visual Works: The Legal Landscape of Opportunities and Challenges” (2019). Shortly after the hearings ended, two Senators requested a review of the role of copyright law in everyday consumer products and the Office subsequently published a report, Software-Enabled Computer Products (2016).

  • THE CRIMINAL COPYRIGHT GAP Eldar Haber*
    Draft – Please do not cite without permission THE CRIMINAL COPYRIGHT GAP Eldar Haber* ABSTRACT Copyright law undergoes a criminalization process. Since the birth of criminal copyright in the 19th century, there has been a substantial increase in criminal copyright legislation. Copyright criminalization could possibly lead to a paradigm shift towards a criminal-oriented law. However, legislation alone is insufficient to change the perception of copyright as a criminal-oriented law, as it also depends on practice. Thus, if enforcement is sporadic and relatively low, an increase of criminal legislation in copyright law does not mark a paradigmatical change towards a criminal copyright perception. Analyzing statistical data regarding criminal copyright prosecutions reveals that criminal prosecutions are still relatively rare. Although the massive increase of criminal copyright legislation should have led to a higher scale of enforcement, the current reality is that criminal prosecutions are scant, leading to a criminal copyright gap between legislation and enforcement. This Article introduces the criminal copyright gap. I review the legislative history of copyright criminalization since its birth in 1897, while dividing the process into two separate phases: The Low-Tech Phase that took place in the end of the 19th century; and the High-Tech Phase, which is further divided into two sub-phases: an analog phase, which occurred in the beginning of the 1970s and lasted until 1992, and a digital phase, which occurred in the beginning of 1992 and still lasts. Then, I examine the practical aspects of copyright criminalization by analyzing statistical data on criminal copyright filings. I argue that statistical data reveals that the on-going legislative process of copyright criminalization is not applied in practice, and thus search for the possible explanations of this criminal copyright gap.
