BRECKENRIDGE Counsel of Record BRECKENRIDGE PLLC 1325 G Street NW Suite 500 Washington, DC 20005 Telephone: 202-567-7733 [email protected] Counsel for Petitioner QUESTIONS PRESENTED Epic Games used Lenwood “Hard Rock” Hamilton’s face and voice in its billion-dollar Gears of War video game franchise without his permission. The Third Circuit used a version of the Supreme Court of California’s “transformative use test” to determine that Epic Games had a First Amendment right to use Hamilton’s image and voice without his permission. The questions presented are: 1) whether the First Amendment right to free speech protects using a person’s actual likeness without permission when weighed against that person’s property, privacy, and dignity rights against unauthorized use of his likeness, and 2) whether the First Amendment right to free speech protects a video game maker’s unauthorized use of a person’s face and voice in a game? ii PARTIES TO THE PROCEEDINGS AND RELATED PROCEEDINGS The Petitioner in this case is Lenwood Hamilton, an individual. Petitioner was the plaintiff and appellant below. The Respondents are Lester Speight, Epic Games, Inc., Microsoft Inc., Microsoft Studios, and The Coalition, which were defendants and appellees below. The related proceedings are: 1) Hamilton v.

For Now, Deepfakes are for Bullies, Wired, Sept. 4, 2019 ........................................................................ 23 INTRODUCTION Quoting a brief of amici curiae, the Third Circuit expressed serious concern in Hart v. Electronic Arts, Inc. that some variations of the “transformative use test” could lead a court to wrongly find that there is a First Amendment right to place the image of the Dalai Lama or the Pope in a violent shoot-em-up game against their wishes. 717 F.3d 141, 167 (3d Cir. 2013). That fear is now realized. Courts have wrestled with the First Amendment implications of using someone’s likeness for decades. And without this Court’s guidance, they have developed myriad tests for determining when a person has a right to exclude others. The most prominent test is the Supreme Court of California’s “transformative use test,” which the Third Circuit adopted and modified. But other tests have arisen. The Supreme Court of Missouri adopted the “predominant use test.” And the “relatedness test” has been used by Second and Fifth Circuits. The Sixth Circuit has used both the “relatedness test” and the “transformative use test.” Other circuits and state courts of last resort have used other methods of resolving these issues. Here, the Third Circuit held, under the trans- formative use test, that the First Amendment provides companies a constitutional right to take a person’s exact likeness and use it in videogames or art or film, so long as the likeness is used in an uncharacteristic way—in this case, changing the person’s outfit and having him battle space aliens in a violent and gory video game. Indeed, it ruled that Hamilton’s disgust with how Epic Games used his likeness weighed in favor of protection. 2 Under the Third Circuit’s standard, a pornographer can use the likeness of a star actress who has never done a nude

    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA LENWOOD HAMILTON, Plaintiff, CIVIL ACTION No. 2:17-cv-00169-AB v. LESTER SPEIGHT, et al., Defendants. September 26, 2019 Anita B. Brody, J. MEMORANDUM Plaintiff Lenwood Hamilton (“Hamilton”) is a former professional wrestler and football player. In the 1990s, Hamilton created and performed as the character Hard Rock Hamilton with Soul City Wrestling, a now-defunct, family-friendly professional wrestling organization that Hamilton created. Hamilton alleges that Defendants Microsoft, Inc., Microsoft Studios, The Coalition, Epic Games, Inc., and Lester Speight (collectively, “Defendants”) misappropriated the Hard Rock Hamilton character when they created Augustus Cole (“the Cole character”), also referred to in-game as Cole Train, for the popular Gears of War video game series.1 In the Gears of War series, the Cole character is not a wrestler but a fictional soldier who engages in highly stylized cartoon violence against formerly subterranean reptilian humanoids on a fictional Earth- like planet, Sera. Defendants move for summary judgment on the grounds that the First Amendment right 1 Specifically, Hamilton alleges several causes of action relating to Defendants’ violation of Hamilton’s right of publicity: (1) a statutory claim for unauthorized use of name or likeness under 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 8316; (2) a common law claim for misappropriation of publicity; (3) a common law claim for invasion of privacy by misappropriation of identity; and (4) a cause of action for unjust enrichment stemming from Defendants’ use of his likeness.

ALICE HAMILTON: THE MAKING OF A FEMINIST-PRAGMATIST RHETOR by VICKI J. MCCOY Under the Direction of James F. Darsey ABSTRACT Dr. Alice Hamilton (1869-1970), the leading American figure in industrial medicine during the early to mid-1900s, left behind a body of rhetoric that is important in the history of American feminist discourse and American public address. Her discourse is the exemplary of feminist-pragmatist rhetoric, a genre of cross-gender communication developed by New Women associated with Hull House and the University of Chicago between 1892 and 1918. Hamilton’s rhetoric illuminates a key event in the history of the American rhetorical tradition—the emergence of the modern woman from her late- Victorian beginnings through her Progressive self-transformation. This study is approached as a rhetorical biography. It tracks Hamilton’s evolution from “reticent scientist” to outspoken feminist-pragmatist by examining family, educational, peer and social influences on her development; and through critical analysis of her speeches, technical writing, books, and popular and specialty magazine articles over a 36-year period, from 1907 to 1943.

  • The Hamilton Family Glass Companies
    The Hamilton Family Glass Companies Bill Lockhart, Beau Schriever, Bill Lindsey, and Carol Serr Although there is some uncertainty about the earliest days of the factory, the Hamilton brothers (and one cousin) founded W.H. Hamilton & Co. at Pittsburgh in 1863. Although the reasons were never made public, James T. Hamilton and his brother, Albert, left the firm to form J.T.&A. Hamilton in 1879 (adding “Co.” to the name in 1916). Both glass houses made a general variety of flint bottles, including early milk bottles. The older firm (by that time W.H. Hamilton Co. – no ampersand) sold to the Imperial Glass Co. in 1909, but the J.T.&A. Hamilton Co. remained in business until 1943 – selling that year to the Knox Glass Bottle Co. Genealogy of the Hamiltons According to MJF (a great-granddaughter of James Hamilton, possibly Martha Ferguson), James Hamilton had seven children, including Samuel and James. Unfortunately, she did not include dates or middle initials.1 It is very likely that James was the James W. Hamilton who was a partner in the firm of Lorenz & Hamilton (probably with Frederick Lorenz, Sr.). Census documents define the second generation. Samuel Hamilton had five sons: William H. (b. May 1831), John (b. ca. 1833), James (b. ca. 1837), Joseph (b. ca. 1840), and Alexander (b. ca. 1842) as well as four daughters (Hester, Mary, Eliza, and Frances). By 1860, William (then listed as 30) was still a student. All of the brothers, except John, devoted their careers to W.H. Hamilton & Co. and the later W.H.
