    OH, PRETTY PARODY: CAMPBELL V. ACUFF-ROSE MUSIC, INC

    Volume 8, Number 1 Fall 1994 OH, PRETTY PARODY: CAMPBELL v. ACUFF-ROSE MUSIC, INC. Lisa M. Babiskin* INTRODUCTION For the second time ever, the Supreme Court addressed the affirmative defense of fair use to copyright infringement in the context of parody in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. ~ The unanimous opinion found a parody rap version of Roy Orbison's song "Oh, Pretty Woman" by the group 2 Live Crew could be a fair use within the exceptions to the protections of the Copyright Act of 1976. 2 The fair use defense is an inconsistent and confusing area that has been called "the most trouble- some [issue] in the whole law of copyright. "3 The Campbell decision helps preserve the flexible, case-by-case analysis intended by Congress and recognizes the value of parody both as a form of social criticism and catalyst in literature. The decision affords wide latitude to parodists, emphasizing the irrelevance of the judge's personal view of whether the parody is offensive or distasteful. It is unclear whether future courts will interpret this holding to be limited to fair use of parody in the context of song, or whether they will construe it more broadly to confer substantial freedom to parodists of all media. It is also unclear what effect this decision will have on the music industry's practice of digital sampling. This article will review the historical background of fair use in the context of parody and the case law preceding the Supreme Court's decision. A detailed discussion of the lower courts' decisions will be followed by analysis of the Supreme Court's decision and its implications for the future.

    Roy Orbison by Dave Hoekstra May 10, 1987

    Roy Orbison By Dave Hoekstra May 10, 1987---- MALIBU, Calif. We were unsure about ingenues in the front row of the class and goals in the back seat of the car. But we were certain about Roy Orbison. The first time I contacted a case of the Orbies was upon the demise of my first relationship in junior high school. She implied it was over by taking a pair of pliers to a dime-store ring with a design of a knight in shining armor. I would sleep with the transistor radio under the pillow; that night WLS played "Only the Lonely." The message was clear. I was not alone. At the second annual induction dinner for the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in January, Bruce Springsteen introduced Orbison by explaining, "In '74, just prior to going in the studio to make `Born To Run,' I was looking at Duane Eddy for his guitar sound and I was listening to a collection of Phil Spector records and I was listening to `Roy Orbison's All-Time Greatest Hits.' I'd lay in bed at night with just the lights of my stereo on and I'd hear `Crying,' `Love Hurts,' `Running Scared,' `Only the Lonely' and `It's Over' fillin' the room. "Some rock 'n' roll reinforces friendship and community, but for me, Roy's ballads were always best when you were alone and in the dark." I read that quote to Orbison during a recent conversation we had at his home here and asked him where he reached for a style that is isolated yet so personal.

    The War Against Hunt the Death of the Famous Legend, Sir George Martin

    Prince Henry’s High School Wednesday 9th March 2016 [email protected] Maria Sharapova – Featured on Page 16 West Midlands Flooded - Featured on Page 8 Brexit Debate – Featured on Page 4 The War against Hunt By Jay Harris Recently Jeremy Hunt (the Minister for Health Care) introduced a new contract that he was to force upon junior doctors. This contract was that the doctors would have to work weekends with the same, or less, pay than they would get normally in the week, because there are higher death rates on weekends. Both the BMA (British Medical Association) and staff at the NHS are unhappy with the contract that they are being forced to comply with, and so the junior doctors announced that they were going to strike for 48 hours. As of 8:00am British junior doctors have started striking for 48 hours so as to show their views on the new contract that has come into place. Jeremy Hunt when he appeared in an interview announced that he would not be making any compromise in order to change the contract that is being forced upon the doctors. The Shadow Health Secretary of the Labour party Heidi Alexander has warned Hunt that by doing this, one of the biggest gambles with patient safety is trying to be controlled. All of the BMA agrees that there is a need to reform the contract so as to make the medical staff happy, but chaos will follow if there is no change. With recent statistics it doesn’t look like Hunt will end up making a compromise to support junior doctors, considering the BMA want a 50% increase in pay on Saturdays.
