CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT No. 08–1448. Argued November 2, 2010—Decided June 27, 2011 Respondents, representing the video-game and software industries, filed a preenforcement challenge to a California law that restricts the sale or rental of violent video games to minors. The Federal District Court concluded that the Act violated the First Amendment and permanently enjoined its enforcement. The Ninth Circuit affirmed. Held: The Act does not comport with the First Amendment. Pp. 2–18. (a) Video games qualify for First Amendment protection. Like pro- tected books, plays, and movies, they communicate ideas through fa- miliar literary devices and features distinctive to the medium.

ABI Research predicted that by 2011, the home media server market will top $44 billion in value, up from $3.7 billion in 2006. In a separate report, Parks Associates forecast that 20 million people would own a "connected entertainment network," of interconnected consumer-electronics devices, or a PC-to-CE network, by 2010. ADVERTISEMENT The PE-CE convergence began in about 2000 when companies like TiVo and ReplayTV began offering personal video recorders that recorded video to a hard drive, like a PC. After failing to capitalize on either its WebTV box or UltimateTV interactive service, Microsoft then introduced its Windows XP Media Center Edition in 2002, which allowed PC owners to connect their breaking news cable feed to the PC and perform the same PVR functions.

Terms of use (https://www.ziffdavis.com/terms-of-use#endorsement). Intergraph Corp. announced Monday that it has settled part of its lawsuit with Intel Corp., which paid Intergraph $300 million. The decision settles part of the litigation between the two companies, which claims Intel illegally coerced Intergraph to give up certain patents beginning in 1996. A second case, which will investigate whether Intel’s 64-bit microprocessors infringe Intergraph’s patents, remains unsettled and will go to trial in July. ADVERTISING ADVERTISING “Intergraph has been building its portfolio of intellectual property for 30 years,” said Jim Taylor, the chief executive of Intergraph, Huntsville, Ala., in a statement. “We believe that this settlement demonstrates the validity and value of our patents. Now that we have resolved the Alabama litigation, we can realize additional value for our intellectual property through open licensing agreements with others in the computer and electronics industries.” ADVERTISING The legal tangle between the two companies goes back for several years and is also partly the basis for the Federal Trade Commission’s investigation of Intel for antitrust violations. The FTC later settled with Intel, requiring that Digital (later Compaq) retain the rights to the Alpha microprocessor.

    Shared Play with the Push of a Button: a Mixed-Method Analysis of Sony PlayStation 4’s Share-Platform Rens Lohmann Master Thesis Utrecht University Tutor: Dr. Ann-Sophie Lehmann Second Assessor: Dr. René Glas Submission date: September 22, 2014 [email protected] Keywords Video games, spectatorship, streaming, social, sharing, shared play, platform studies MA New Media & Digital Culture © 2014 Rens Lohmann. Personal and educational classroom use of this thesis is allowed, commercial use requires specific permission from the author. “It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this.” (The Legend of Zelda, 1986) ABSTRACT With the incorporation of the Share-button and its underlying platform on the PlayStation 4, Sony has decided to bring social connectivity and the sharing of gameplay to the masses. Video game play streaming and sharing have their roots in early user-generated content, performing, and spectating practices. Examples from the nineties are machinima, speedrunning, and online multiplayer gaming in that period. Users with a high level of technical proficiency created content that was creative, subversive, and initiated new forms of interactions between players and spectators. The creation of user-generated content came under stricter corporate control when it was integrated as a part of well-designed and well- marketed video game platforms. While the construction of this material became more accessible to general players, creativity and subversiveness became more limited. Sony PlayStation 4’s Share-button can be seen as a culmination of this development. As a form of controlled participation, the button and its proprietary platform facilitate remarkably quick production of this content with a limited toolset of creative possibilities.

  • Authors' Pre-Publication Copy Dated March 7, 2021 This Article Has Been
    Authors’ pre-publication copy dated March 7, 2021 This article has been accepted for publication in Volume 19, Issue 1 of the Northwestern Journal of Technology & Intellectual Property (Fall 2021) Artificial Intelligence as Evidence1 ABSTRACT This article explores issues that govern the admissibility of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) applications in civil and criminal cases, from the perspective of a federal trial judge and two computer scientists, one of whom also is an experienced attorney. It provides a detailed yet intelligible discussion of what AI is and how it works, a history of its development, and a description of the wide variety of functions that it is designed to accomplish, stressing that AI applications are ubiquitous, both in the private and public sector. Applications today include: health care, education, employment-related decision-making, finance, law enforcement, and the legal profession. The article underscores the importance of determining the validity of an AI application (i.e., how accurately the AI measures, classifies, or predicts what it is designed to), as well as its reliability (i.e., the consistency with which the AI produces accurate results when applied to the same or substantially similar circumstances), in deciding whether it should be admitted into evidence in civil and criminal cases. The article further discusses factors that can affect the validity and reliability of AI evidence, including bias of various types, “function creep,” lack of transparency and explainability, and the sufficiency of the objective testing of the AI application before it is released for public use. The article next provides an in-depth discussion of the evidentiary principles that govern whether AI evidence should be admitted in court cases, a topic which, at present, is not the subject of comprehensive analysis in decisional law.

Experts in the legal community in concert with a number of high-tech industry watchdogs say the shock to the Internet, ISPs, and others could be seismic. But such legislation is making its way through the U.S. Congress. The controversial Database and Collections of Information Misappropriation Act has already been approved by the House Judiciary Committee, and the House Commerce Committee is slated to evaluate it late this week. ADVERTISEMENT When PC Magazine last reported on the proposed legislation, the ACLU, numerous libraries, and NetCoalition, a group that describes itself as "the public policy voice for some of the world's most innovative Internet companies," were in vigorous opposition.
