  • Legislative Testimony Senate Bill No. 1005 RELATING to PUBLICITY
    Legislative Testimony Senate Bill No. 1005 RELATING TO PUBLICITY RIGHTS Committee on Economic Development and Technology February 9, 2009 1:15 p.m. Room 016 Aloha Chair Fukunaga, Vice Chair Baker, and Members. OHA strongly supports Senate Bill No. 1005 Relating to Publicity Rights. The purpose of this bill is to help protect in Hawaii the music of Hawaii, and all other works of authorship, by establishing a property right in the commercial use of a person’s name, voice, signature, photograph, or likeness. This right is generally called a “right of publicity” and has often been appropriated by promoters and marketers of the music of Hawaii, without the permission of the artists and their heirs, to sell products that are objectionable to the artists and heirs, yet feature the artist’s name, voice, signature, photograph, or likeness. The bill is detailed, including provisions relating to transfer of the right, injunctions and damages for infringement of the right, and exemptions for situations where the law would not apply. We believe the bill strikes a reasonable balance between protecting the right and recognizing that the right is not absolute. Mahalo for the opportunity to testify. fukunaga4 - Michelle From: Sen.

  • Testimony of Mufi Hannemann President & CEO Hawai'i Lodging & Tourism Association House Committee on Veteran, Military
    HAWAl‘l LODGING & TOURISM ASSOCIATION Testimony of Mufi Hannemann President & CEO Hawai‘i Lodging & Tourism Association House Committee on Veteran, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts House Concurrent Resolution 70 Requesting the United States Postal Service to issue a commemorative postage stamp in honor of Alfred Apaka. Aloha Chair Ito, Vice Chair Tokioka and members of the committee, on behalf of the Hawai‘i Lodging & Tourism Association and its 700-plus members we offer strong support for HCR 70 which would request of the US Postal Service to issue a commemorative postage stamp in honor of Alfred Apaka, legendary Hawaiian entertainer and showman. As a state we pride ourselves on our Native Hawaiian culture and our Aloha spirit, two very unique features that help set us apart from the rest of the world. One very important aspect of our culture is and has been our islands’ music, a genre that has helped set the stage for Hawai‘i as a global destination. We have seen the pioneers of our state’s music from Don Ho to Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and others who have made a name for themselves locally, nationally, and internationally. But before these gentlemen hit the scene there was another musical legend, Alfred Apaka, the pioneer who first introduced the world to Hawai‘i’s music. Alfred Apaka, frequently known as the Golden Voice of Hawai‘i, has created a legacy for himself as he headlined venues such as the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, the Moana Surfrider, Don at the Beachcomber, and Kaiser’s Hawaiian Village where he entertained thousands of visitors and locals alike.
