Early Working Draft Raw Materials, Creative Works, and Cultural
Early Working Draft Raw Materials, Creative Works, and Cultural Hierarchies Andrew Gilden In disputes involving creative works, courts increasingly ask whether a preexisting text, image or persona has been used as “raw material” for new authorship. If so, the accused infringer becomes shielded by the fair use doctrine under copyright law or a First Amendment defense under right of publicity law. Although copyright and right of publicity decisions have begun to rely heavily on the concept, neither the case law nor existing scholarship has explored what it actually means to use something as “raw material,” whether this inquiry adequately draws lines between infringing and non- infringing conduct, or how well it maps onto the expressive values that the fair use doctrine and the First Amendment defense aim to capture This Article reveals serious problems with the raw material inquiry. First, a survey of all decisions invoking raw materials uncovers troubling distributional patterns; in nearly every case the winner is the party in the more privileged class, race or gender position. Notwithstanding courts’ assurance that the inquiry is “straightforward,” distinctions between raw and “cooked” materials appear to be structured by a range of social hierarchies operating in the background. Second, these cases express ethically troubling messages about the use and reuse of text, image and likeness. The more offensive, callous and objectionable the appropriation, the more visibly “raw” the preexisting material is likely to be. Given the shortcomings of the raw material inquiry, this Article argues that courts should engage more directly with an accused infringer’s actual creative process and rely less on a formal comparison between the two works in dispute. -

Fame Attack : the Inflation of Celebrity and Its Consequences
Rojek, Chris. "The Icarus Complex." Fame Attack: The Inflation of Celebrity and Its Consequences. London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2012. 142–160. Bloomsbury Collections. Web. 1 Oct. 2021. <http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781849661386.ch-009>. Downloaded from Bloomsbury Collections, www.bloomsburycollections.com, 1 October 2021, 16:03 UTC. Copyright © Chris Rojek 2012.

In a bid to escape exile in Crete, Icarus uses wings made from wax and feathers made by his father, the Athenian master craftsman Daedalus. But the sin of hubris causes him to pay no heed to his father’s warnings. He fl ies too close to the sun, so burning his wings, and falls into the Tsea and drowns. The parable is often used to highlight the perils of pride and the reckless, impulsive behaviour that it fosters. The frontier nature of celebrity culture perpetuates and enlarges narcissistic characteristics in stars and stargazers. Impulsive behaviour and recklessness are commonplace. They fi gure prominently in the entertainment pages and gossip columns of newspapers and magazines, prompting commentators to conjecture about the contagious effects of celebrity culture upon personal health and the social fabric. Do celebrities sometimes get too big for their boots and get involved in social and political issues that are beyond their competence? Can one posit an Icarus complex in some types of celebrity behaviour? This chapter addresses these questions by examining celanthropy and its discontents (notably Madonna’s controversial adoption of two Malawi children); celebrity health advice (Tom Cruise and Scientology); and celebrity pranks (the Sachsgate phone calls involving Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross). -
Fame Us Introduction
FAME US INTRODUCTION Brian Howell A while ago, I started taking pictures of celebrity impersonators after a string of chance encounters with look-alikes. When I began researching the subject, I had no idea that so many people made a living at it. I became intrigued, and as a result, this project was born. I attended a number of conventions for the celebrity imper- sonator industry; there are two major gatherings a year: Las Vegas in the spring and Orlando, Florida in the fall. The impersonators are there to showcase their tal- ent and to network with others in the industry; the conventions are like any other, except that on any given day, you might see George W. Bush hamming it up with Ozzy Osbourne, or bump into Marilyn Monroe wearing her dress from The Seven Year Itch, except there is no subway air vent to blow it up to her waist. Impersonation is a full-time career for many of the people who appear in this book. Some of them make a great living at it, including a few who look more like the ce- lebrity they impersonate than the actual celebrity himself. While getting to know them better, I’ve learned that the biggest misconception about impersonators is that they are somehow obsessed fans desperate to physically become the celebrity they impersonate. But I never met anyone like that. On the contrary, many imper- sonators got into the business because of others—those passersby on the street who stop and stare, and ask, “Has anyone ever told you you look like…?” Simply put, and not in a derogatory way, impersonators are opportunistic, taking advan- tage of a culture with an insatiable, uncontrollable thirst for celebrity and all that it entails. -
