Subotnik & Peter DiCola* Intellectual property law has intended benefits, but it also carries certain costs—deliberately so. Skeptics have asked: Why should intellectual property law exist at all? To get traction on that overly broad but still important inquiry, we decided to ask a new, preliminary question: What do creators in a particular industry actually use intellectual property for? In this first-of- its-kind study, we conducted thirty-two in-depth qualitative interviews of photographers about how copyright law functions within their creative and business practices. By learning the actual functions of copyright law on the ground, we can evaluate and contextualize existing theories of intellectual property. More importantly, our data call for an expansion of the set of possible justifications for intellectual property.

  • Children's Hospital Los Angeles
    CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL LOS ANGELES 2016 InsertThe Saban Title Here Research Institute The Saban Research Institute comprises basic, translational and clinical research at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles—one of the few freestanding pediatric hospitals in the country where scientific inquiry is combined with clinical care devoted exclusively to children. The Institute’s interdisciplinary research is organized around areas that fully explore the developmental origins of health and disease and address the most pressing national child health issues. Originally established in 1992, The Children’s Hospital Research Institute became The Saban Research Institute in 2003 following a transformative gift in support of pediatric research made by Cheryl Saban, PhD, Haim Saban and The Saban Family Foundation. In fiscal year 2015, The Saban Research Institute received $32.7 million (prime and subawards) in National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding and $74.8 million in total funding. The Saban Research Institute ranks eighth in the nation among children’s hospitals in NIH funding. The Saban Research Institute and CHLA maintain strong scientific and strategic affiliations with the University of Southern California (USC) and the Keck School of Medicine of USC, where our physicians and scientists hold faculty appointments. The Institute’s researchers also are involved in collaborative projects with academic institutions throughout the U.S. and abroad. 4 | ResearCHLA 2016 Table of Contents A Message From the Director 2 Digital Natives Go to the Doctor 4 Game
