16 發光的城市 Around Town 16 發光的城市 A R O U N D T O W N FRIDAY, JULY 10, 2009 • TAIPEI TIMES OTHER RELEASES COMPILED BY MARTIN WILLIAMS Lee Hsing Retrospective Veteran award-winning director Lee Hsing (李行), who is 80 this year, is being honored by the Chinese Taipei Film Archive with screenings of 12 of his most notable films until Tuesday next week at the Spot theater in Taipei; many have English subtitles. Other films are being screened at the archive, together with a symposium. Further details are at www.ctfa.org.tw and www.spot.org.tw. Festival of City Tours 2009: The Wedding Season This cumbersome festival title brings together a number of intriguing wedding-related films from around the world that deserve wider attention. Brides is a Martin Scorsese production set in the 1920s in which hundreds of European mail- order brides head to the US to discover their fate. Tulpan, set in Kazakhstan, is the name of a would-be bride of the protagonist; the film has astonished reviewers everywhere with its texture and sense of whimsy. Silent Wedding, from ‘Boy A’ is a heartrending melodrama Russia, is a humorous account of a wedding that takes place on the sly during an enforced mourning period for an autocrat. Algeria-set Masquerades is a that sympathizes with comedy of errors and misunderstandings, while Vacation from Japan mixes its protagonist, a former convict marital longing with the ugly reality of capital punishment.

This might be worth seeing. A husband and wife come under the microscope in this feature, but the threat to their relationship is far removed from what the average melodrama contains, with the possible exception of the fate of their offspring. Mixed reviews followed, as might be expected for a film that violates narrative conventions, but there has been praise from all corners for lead actor Lily Franky (an eclectic artist and author in real life) as the husband.

  • Commentary Unprotected: Condoms, Bareback Porn, and the First Amendment
    Commentary Unprotected: Condoms, Bareback Porn, and the First Amendment Bailey J. Langnert ABSTRACT In November 2012, Los Angeles County voters passed Measure B, or the Safer Sex in the Adult Film Industry Act. Measure B mandated condom use by all porn performers in adult films produced within county borders and created a complex regulatory process for adult film producers that included permitting, mandatory public health trainings, and warrantless administrative searches. Shortly after its passage, Vivid Entertainment filed a lawsuit to enjoin the enforcement of Measure B, arguing that the Measure violated their First Amendment right to portray condomless sex in porn. In December 2014, the Ninth Circuit upheld the district court's decision upholding the constitutionality of Measure B. Notably, the mainstream discourse surrounding the Measure B campaign, as well as the legal arguments put forth in the lawsuit, focused exclusively on straight pornography while purporting to represent all porn. As a result, an entire genre of condomless pornography went unrepresented in the discussion: bareback porn, which portrays intentional unprotected anal sex between men. Excluding bareback porn from the lawsuit represented a missed opportunityfor Vivid in its challenge of Measure B. There are several political messages underlying bareback porn unique to that genre that might have resulted in the t The author received a law degree from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law (Boalt Hall) in 2015.

  • When Victims Rule
    1 24 JEWISH INFLUENCE IN THE MASS MEDIA, Part II In 1985 Laurence Tisch, Chairman of the Board of New York University, former President of the Greater New York United Jewish Appeal, an active supporter of Israel, and a man of many other roles, started buying stock in the CBStelevision network through his company, the Loews Corporation. The Tisch family, worth an estimated 4 billion dollars, has major interests in hotels, an insurance company, Bulova, movie theatres, and Loliards, the nation's fourth largest tobacco company (Kent, Newport, True cigarettes). Brother Andrew Tisch has served as a Vice-President for the UJA-Federation, and as a member of the United Jewish Appeal national youth leadership cabinet, the American Jewish Committee, and the American Israel Political Action Committee, among other Jewish organizations. By September of 1986 Tisch's company owned 25% of the stock of CBS and he became the company's president. And Tisch -- now the most powerful man at CBS -- had strong feelings about television, Jews, and Israel. The CBS news department began to live in fear of being compromised by their boss -- overtly, or, more likely, by intimidation towards self-censorship -- concerning these issues. "There have been rumors in New York for years," says J. J. Goldberg, "that Tisch took over CBS in 1986 at least partly out of a desire to do something about media bias against Israel." [GOLDBERG, p. 297] The powerful President of a major American television network dare not publicize his own active bias in favor of another country, of course. That would look bad, going against the grain of the democratic traditions, free speech, and a presumed "fair" mass media.

VANDERBILT JOURNAL OF ENTERTAINMENT AND TECHNOLOGY LAW VOLUME 10 SYMPOSIUM ISSUE NUMBER 4 Pornography, Coercion, and Copyright Law 2.0 Ann Bartow* ABSTRACT The lack of regulation of the production of pornography in the United States leaves pornography performers exposed to substantial risks. Producers of pornography typically respond to attempts to regulate pornography as infringements upon free speech. At the same time, large corporations involved in the production and sale of pornography rely on copyright law's complex regulatory framework to protect their pornographic content from copying and unauthorized distribution. Web 2.0 also facilitates the production and distribution of pornography by individuals. These user-generatorsproduce their own pornography, often looking to monetize their productions themselves via advertising revenues and subscription models. Much like their corporate counterparts, these user-generatorsmay increasingly rely on copyright law to protect their creationsin the future.
