  • Taking Intellectual Property Into Their Own Hands
    Taking Intellectual Property into Their Own Hands Amy Adler* & Jeanne C. Fromer** When we think about people seeking relief for infringement of their intellectual property rights under copyright and trademark laws, we typically assume they will operate within an overtly legal scheme. By contrast, creators of works that lie outside the subject matter, or at least outside the heartland, of intellectual property law often remedy copying of their works by asserting extralegal norms within their own tight-knit communities. In recent years, however, there has been a growing third category of relief-seekers: those taking intellectual property into their own hands, seeking relief outside the legal system for copying of works that fall well within the heartland of copyright or trademark laws, such as visual art, music, and fashion. They exercise intellectual property self-help in a constellation of ways. Most frequently, they use shaming, principally through social media or a similar platform, to call out perceived misappropriations. Other times, they reappropriate perceived misappropriations, therein generating new creative works. This Article identifies, illustrates, and analyzes this phenomenon using a diverse array of recent examples. Aggrieved creators can use self-help of the sorts we describe to accomplish much of what they hope to derive from successful infringement litigation: collect monetary damages, stop the appropriation, insist on attribution of their work, and correct potential misattributions of a misappropriation. We evaluate the benefits and demerits of intellectual property self-help as compared with more traditional intellectual property enforcement.

    36 TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 2014 LIFESTYLE Gossip Jay Z addresses Drake’s art reference criticisms ay Z has hit out at Drake in a new track. The Roc Nation boss addressed the ‘Hypher’ hitmaker during his verse Jon Jay Electronica’s new song, ‘We Made It’, after the rapper called him “corny” for using art references in his music. Jay Z raps: “Sorry Mrs Drizzy for so much art talk/ Silly me, rappin’ ‘bout that I really bought/ While these rappers rap about guns that they ain’t shot/ And a bunch of other silly thing that they ain’t got.” The reference comes after Drake’s controversial interview with Rolling Stone magazine in February, during which he criticized Jay Z and slated Kanye West’s “questionable” rap lyrics on his ‘Yeezus’ album. He said: “It’s like Hov can’t drop bars these days without at least four art references. I would love to collect [art] at some point, but I think the whole Rap/art world thing is getting kind of corny.” Speaking about ‘Yeezus’, Drake added: “There were some real ques- tionable bars on there.” Itr isn’t the first time Drake has criticized the two rappers, as he admitted he wasn’t on good terms with the stars when he slated Jay Z and Kanye West’s collaborative album ‘Watch The Throne’ on his 2011 track ‘I’m One One’. He admitted: “It was a lack of communication paired with natural competitiveness. But those two are Gods to me.” Liam Gallagher’s ex to write new book iam Gallagher is “very nervous” about former lover Lisa LMoorish’s autobiography.

  • Review: Punt and Dennis – Ploughing on Regardless | Nouse
    Nouse Web Archives Review: Punt and Dennis – Ploughing on Regardless Page 1 of 3 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Arts › Features Reviews Books Review: Punt and Dennis – Ploughing on Regardless Hilarious radio duo Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt take to stage as Katy Sandalls reviews Monday 17 February 2014 Photo courtesy of Punt and Dennis ★★★★☆ As a perennial fan of Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt’s inputs on the BBC Radio 4 programme The Now Show, the prospect of seeing them live on stage promised to be a treat – and it didn’t disappoint. Indeed, sat in the majestic setting of the York Grand Opera House, at times it felt like I was at a recording of the radio show with Punt producing his usual masterful set ups for Dennis to later pick up and run with. And run he did, with topics ranging from the TV listings experience to our obsession with the snow the show touched upon every possible avenue. One thing that did come across, lost to a radio audience, was Dennis’ mastery of visual comedy. A particular favourite being his take on the giving out of buns in Denmark to celebrate the signing of the treaty of Rome. That was the first and probably the last time I will see a man old enough to be my father walk in circles around a stage with the flap of jacket lifted up showing the audience his “beautiful buns”. Punt’s earlier cynical comment really summed this up well; the pair are indeed “wasted on the radio”.
