Copyright C 2005 by Washington Law Review Association POLICING THE BORDER BETWEEN TRADEMARKS AND FREE SPEECH: PROTECTING UNAUTHORIZED TRADEMARK USE IN EXPRESSIVE WORKS Pratheepan Gulasekaram* Abstract: Artists and other creators of expressive works often include trademarks and trademarked products as part of their works. They do so for a number of reasons, including lighthearted humor, critical cultural commentary, parody, or even simply to shock. In instances where such use is both unauthorized by and perceived as disparaging to the mark owner or the trademarked product, owners have attempted to sue under trademark law to enjoin the expressive use. This Article argues that, under a proper analysis of trademark law, precedent, and the free expression ideal enshrined in the First Amendment, mark owners should rarely, if ever, prevail in such actions. This Article evaluates the current state of the law, criticizing its inconsistencies and equivocations, and suggests that the correct analytical framework for these disputes must protect the public, creative nature of trademarks and their cultural meaning.

  • The Golden Age of Porn: Nostalgia and History in Cinema Susanna Paasonen and Laura Saarenmaa
    Pornification 19/7/07 10:56 am Page 23 –2– The Golden Age of Porn: Nostalgia and History in Cinema Susanna Paasonen and Laura Saarenmaa The mainstreaming of pornography is indebted to the success of feature-length hardcore films of the 1970s. Shot on 35 mm film, productions such as Deep Throat (1972), Behind the Green Door (1972), The Devil in Miss Jones (1973), The Opening of Misty Beethoven (1976) and Debbie Does Dallas (1978) were widely screened both in the USA and internationally. These films have since been estab- lished as classics (Buscombe 2004: 30) and milestones in both scholarly and popular porn historiographies. While some identify the so-called ‘golden age of porn’ through North American legislation and as ranging from 1957 from 1973 (Lane 2000: 22–3), it was in the 1970s and early 1980s that porn shifted towards the mainstream. In a trend titled by the New York Times as porno chic, pornography became fashionable, gained mainstream publicity and popularity (McNair 2002: 62–3; Schaefer 2004: 371; Wyatt 1999). During the past decade, this golden age has been reminisced in films such as People Vs. Larry Flynt (1996), Boogie Nights (1997) and Rated X (2000), numerous documentaries – including the critically acclaimed Inside Deep Throat (2005) – and books.1 This body of popular porn historiography depicts the decade as one of quality films with real stories, personal performers and talented directors, in contrast to the 1980s of video distribution, inflation of the porn industry, rise of AIDS and conservative backlash. With notable exceptions such as the French Le pornographe (2001) and the Spanish–Danish co-production Torremolinos 73 (2003), European histories have not been reminisced to the same degree.

  • Critical Criminological Understandings of Adult Pornography and Woman Abuse: New Progressive Directions in Research and Theory1
    www.crimejusticejournal.com IJCJ&SD 2015 4(4): 4‐21 ISSN 2202–8005 Critical Criminological Understandings of Adult Pornography and Woman Abuse: New Progressive Directions in Research and Theory1 Walter S DeKeseredy West Virginia University, USA; Queensland University of Technology, Australia Abstract There is a small, but growing, social scientific literature on the racist and violent nature of contemporary adult pornography. However, considerably more empirical and theoretical work needs to be done to advance a critical criminological understanding of how such hurtful sexual media contribute to various forms of woman abuse in intimate relationships. The main objective of this article is to briefly review the relevant literature and to suggest a few new progressive empirical and theoretical directions. Keywords Pornography; critical criminology; woman abuse; gender; feminism. Introduction Critical criminological work on adult pornography consumption and its violent consequences is limited compared to the amount of progressive intellectual attention given to other major social harms, such as racist police practices, mass incarceration, and environmental crime. In fact, criminologists in general ‘have not been fleet of foot’ in dealing with Internet porn (Atkinson and Rodgers 2014: 1). This is due, in part, to the fact that numerous academics and university/college administrators view pornography as a topic unfit for academic inquiry (Ullen 2014). Nevertheless, this paper is one of a growing group of scholarly articles, book chapters, and monographs on pornography that challenge this orthodox belief. Pornography requires in‐ depth, interdisciplinary analyses for reasons provided here and in other sources (Kipnis 1996). All the same, there are different learned understandings, some of which sharply disagree with my critical criminological position, one that is in tune with those of anti‐pornography radical feminists such as Dines (2010), Funk (2006), and Jensen (2007).

Rothman* INTRODUCTION The state has long attempted to regulate sexual activity through a combina- tion of criminal and civil sanctions and the award of benefits, such as marriage and First Amendment protections, for acts and speech that conform with the state’s vision of acceptable sex.1 These regulatory efforts contribute to our so- ciety’s construction of sex. The law’s construction of sex has largely been a negative one, in which sex—unless it is in service to other state-approved goals (such as procreation or marital intimacy)—is devalued and feared. In particular, the law has contributed to a vision of sex that discounts sexual pleasure, female sexuality, homosexuality, and a variety of “non-conforming” sex interests, such as bondage/sadomasochism.2 Failure to challenge such constructions reinforces the “notion that sexual practices are innate or biological, rather than the product of social and cultural forces.”3 The law is therefore an important site of inter- vention to expose and critique the construction of sex. Intellectual property (IP) laws, though not commonly considered in writing about the law’s construction of sex, play a role in perpetuating this often negative and limiting vision of sex.

  • How Adult Pornography Contributes to Sexual Exploitation of Children
    How Adult Pornography Contributes To Sexual Exploitation of Children By Robert Peters, President of Morality in Media September 2009 Table of Contents: Introduction – page 1 Part I: Perpetrators use adult pornography to groom their victims – page 4 Part II: For many perpetrators there is a progression from viewing adult pornography to viewing child pornography – page 10 Part III: Johns act out what they view in adult pornography with child prostitutes and pimps use adult pornography to instruct child prostitutes – page 17 Part IV: Children act out what they view in adult pornography with other children – page 20 Part V: Perpetrators use adult pornography to sexually arouse themselves – page 26 Part VI: Addiction to adult pornography destroys marriages and children raised in one-parent households are more likely to be sexually exploited – page 35 Concluding thoughts – page 36 Appendices – pages 41-215 A – page 41 B – page 46 C – page 159 D – page 162 E – page 168 F – page 178 G – page 187 H – page 191 I – page 209 J – page 213 Introduction Federal and state law enforcement agencies and prosecutors, Internet service providers, credit card companies, banks, and nonprofits are finally working together to curb sexual exploitation of children on the Internet. They are to be commended for doing so. For the most part, however, these same government and private entities have turned a blind eye towards the explosion of hardcore adult pornography on the Internet and elsewhere. The latter does not depict actual children but does include hardcore depictions of sex with persons who look like children and with “teens.” Hardcore adult pornography also encompasses depictions of sex with animals, other family members, multiple partners (“gangbangs”), and prostitutes.

The aim of this study is to determine, through the categorization of porn clips in the Internet, cognitive schemes and cultural models which explain the principles of such classification and provide the information on the cultural thought that lies behind the interpretation of the Internet pornography during the organization of that particular part of virtual reality by the pornographic sites‟ authors and their users.
