TROLL STORMS AND TORT LIABILITY FOR SPEECH URGING ACTION BY OTHERS: A FIRST AMENDMENT ANALYSIS AND AN INITIAL STEP TOWARD A FEDERAL RULE CLAY CALVERT* ABSTRACT This Commentary examines when, consistent with First Amendment principles of free expression, speakers can be held tortiously responsible for the actions of others with whom they have no contractual or employer- employee relationship. It argues that recent lawsuits against Daily Stormer publisher Andrew Anglin for sparking “troll storms” provide a timely analytical springboard into the issue of vicarious tort liability. Furthermore, such liability is particularly problematic when a speaker’s message urging action does not fall into an unprotected category of expression, such as incitement or true threats, and thus, were it not for tort law, would be fully protected.

LAW'S EXPRESSIVE VALUE IN COMBATING CYBER GENDER HARASSMENT Danielle Keats Citron* The online harassment of women exemplifies twenty-first century behavior that profoundly harms women yet too often remains over- looked and even trivialized. This harassment includes rape threats, doctored photographs portraying women being strangled,postings of women's home addresses alongside suggestions that they are in- terested in anonymous sex, and technological attacks that shut down blogs and websites. It impedes women's full participation in online life, often driving them offline, and undermines their auton- omy, identity, dignity, and well-being. But the public and law enforcement routinely marginalize women's experiences, deeming the harassment harmless teasing that women should expect, and tolerate, given the internet's Wild West norms of behavior The trivializationof phenomena that profoundly affect women's ba- sic freedoms is nothing new.

The business of television, even the very definition of what is considered television, has changed more in the last five years than in the previous 50. The biggest shift: Power and control moving from the big media companies to the consumer. It seems like a great thing for consumers, right? Unfortunately, it’s not so black and white. Every action has a consequence, and the decisions being made in television today will impact the business and the consumer for a long time. To predict the future, we must understand the past. The first part of the semester will look at how the business worked for the last 50 years. We will learn how each sector makes money – broadcast and cable networks, cable companies and studios. Then we will learn about the issues facing the industry today, their impact on each sector, and use that knowledge to make predictions on how it will all shake out. COURSE OBJECTIVES Students will be able to: • analyze current and future entertainment industry issues using historical entertainment business models to generate strategies and programming (position paper) • research and compare
