It has been accepted for inclusion in Articles & Chapters by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@NYLS. Botein. Copyright and Cable Television PART I ARTICLES 1. THE NEW COPYRIGHT ACT AND CABLE TELEVISION-A SIGNAL OF CHANGE By MICHAEL BOTEIN* Cable television has existed for more than a generation, but only now has the cable copyright issue reached a final and legislative reso­ lution. 1 There are at least several reasons for the delay in defining the cable-copyright interface. First, until the last decade, cable-or "com­ munity antenna television" (CA TV)-was a literally low-visibility medium; it merely relayed four or five otherwise unavailable broad­ cast television signals to a few hundred thousand subscribers in otherwise unserved or "white" areas, and had no program origination capability.2 Second, when cable eventually did become an issue, the only available forum was the Federal Communications Commission. Reasonably enough, the Commission then viewed, and to a- great ex­ tent still views, cable mainly in terms of its potential impact on broad­ cast television's advertising revenues, rather than in terms of compen­ sation to copyright holders.

Individual subscribers or groups may only challenge the rates charged to them by a cable service provider before the FCC or before the local franchising authority. Because the plaintiffs here sought relief that necessarily required rate regulation, conduct explicitly proscribed by the Cable Act, summary dismissal of plaintiffs’ state law claims under CR 12(b)(6) was proper. We affirm. FACTS The plaintiffs (collectively Parsons) are Comcast cable television subscribers living in King County’s Greenwood Point and South Cove (annexation area). Following a popular vote, the city of Issaquah annexed those areas effective March 2, 2006.

One hundred and twenty-one years later to the day, another shipping disaster in the same waters claimed the lives of all on board, except a man with the seemingly charmed name of Hugh Williams. On 5 August 1820, when a picnic boat capsized on the Thames, all drowned with the exception of a five-year-old boy—Hugh Williams. Again about one hundred and twenty years later, on 10 July 1940, a British trawler was destroyed by a German mine. Only two men survived, an uncle and nephew, both named Hugh Williams.

(“AT&T,” and collectively with Comcast, the “Applicants”) associated with AT&T’s broadband division. These applications were filed pursuant to Sections 214 and 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The proposed transfer of control will result from the spin-off of AT&T Broadband Corp. (“AT&T Broadband”), a holding company for AT&T’s broadband division, to AT&T’s shareholders, and the subsequent merger of AT&T Broadband and Comcast into wholly-owned subsidiaries of AT&T Comcast. After the merger is consummated, existing AT&T shareholders will hold 53 percent of the economic interest and between 54 and 58 percent of the voting interest of AT&T Comcast; existing Comcast shareholders will hold 41 percent of the economic interest and between 3 and 7 percent of the voting interest of AT&T Comcast; and Brian L.

  • A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS of CABLE TELEV'slon ITS IMPACT on Michlgan with ALTERNATIVES for LEGISLAHOH
    A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF CABLE TELEV'SlON ITS IMPACT ON MICHlGAN WITH ALTERNATIVES FOR LEGISLAHOH Thesis for the Degree of M. A. M‘CHIGAN STATE UNWERSITY LAWRENCE D. THOMPSON 1974 ABSTRACT A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF CABLE TELEVISION, ITS IMPACT ON MICHIGAN WITH ALTERNATIVES FOR LEGISLATION BY Lawrence D. Thompson Cable television began some 20 years ago with the simple purpose of providing broadcast signals, but today's cable system has evolved into a highly complex entity. The new unit, the.modern cable and broadband communication system, can carry thirty to fifty television channels, fifty audio signals and hundreds of digital data channels for computers, teletypes, or alarm signals. It is apparent that the enormous two-way and interactive capacity of the cable communication system is just beginning exploration. Cable can thusly become an increasingly significant factor in our lives. It will significantly affect the social, economic, cultural, educational and recreational aspects of our environment. But there are great risks in ~cable development--of technological obsolescence, financial insolvency, consumer disinterest. A general background of cable television in Chapter I and the current state of cable in Michigan in Chapter II provides a basis for the remainder of the report. Lawrence D. Thompson Chapter III attempts to convey a sense of the tremendous possibilities of the medium. Chapter IV discusses the very great financial and political uncertainties and problems for cable's future in Michigan. Chapter V outlines govern— mental framework for cable systems in the states and dis— cusses a number of alternatives toward cable. The report concentrates particularly on cable teler vision systems in Michigan-*the pioneer comprehensive report on cable communications for the state.
