  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES. In solidarity and support, Megan Abbott (DARE ME) Chris Abbott (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE; CAGNEY AND LACEY; MAGNUM, PI; HIGH SIERRA SEARCH AND RESCUE; DR.

    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.

  • In the Land of Blood and Honey What’S Fair Or Just in Love and War Crimes? Lessons for Transitional Justice* Carrie Menkel-Meadow
    4 In The Land of Blood and Honey What’s Fair or Just in Love and War Crimes? Lessons for Transitional Justice* Carrie Menkel-Meadow n 1990, the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) held a conference on “Probing the Limits of Representation: Nazism and the IFinal Solution” during which leading international scholars of history, literature, cultural studies, philosophy, critical theory, arts, language, sociology, and psychology explored the question of whether the mass atrocities of Nazism and the Final Solution to exterminate all European Jewry could be represented in anything other than “factual” historical documentation and narrative (Friedlander 1992; White 1992; LaCapra 1996). This was some years after the first documentaries and “fictional- ized” films on the Holocaust had appeared, after Judgment at Nuremberg (Kramer 1961), but before Schindler’s List (Spielberg 1993) and after vari- ous cultural critics had said such things as “there can be no poetry after Auschwitz” (attributed to Theodor Adorno), and no morally acceptable artistic representation could be made of the Shoah (Friedlander 1992). The conference explored what were then called “limits to representation” of certain “truths,” so reprehensible, so mass and, at the same time, so spe- cific or so exceptional (the “German” problem; Maier 1988), that no genre could fully, morally, or “accurately” depict either the systematic evil or the mass pain, death, and injury that is the Holocaust. As the child of Holocaust survivors, I attended that conference as both scholar and one generation removed “victim,” having spent a lifetime listening to my family’s stories and seeing many visual images of both their own stories and the larger international one that was World War II.

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • CONTRACT CONFLICT Guy A
    COPYRIGHT © 2017 VIRGINIA LAW REVIEW ASSOCIATION COPYRIGHT SURVIVES: RETHINKING THE COPYRIGHT- CONTRACT CONFLICT Guy A. Rub* Twenty-one years ago, copyright died. More accurately, it was killed. In 1996, in ProCD v. Zeidenberg, Judge Easterbrook, writing for the Seventh Circuit, held that a contract that restricted the use of factual information was not preempted by the Copyright Act and therefore enforceable. The reaction among copyright scholars was swift and passionate. In dozens of articles and books, spreading over two decades, scholars cautioned that if the ProCD approach is broadly adopted, the results would be dire. Through contracts, the rights of copyright owners would run amok, expand, and in doing so they would invade, shrink, and possibly destroy the public domain. Contracts, we were repeatedly warned throughout the years, would kill copyright law. This Article challenges this scholarly consensus by studying the court opinions that have dealt with the copyright-contract conflict over the past four decades. This examination reveals surprising facts: notwithstanding the scholars’ warnings, ProCD’s approach won the day and was embraced by most federal circuit courts. The doomsday scenarios scholars warned against, however, did not materialize. The * Associate Professor, The Ohio State University Michael E. Moritz College of Law.
