(“TRO”) and its subsidiary and imprint Ludlow Music, Inc. (“Ludlow”) (collectively, the “Defendants”) possess two copyrights in the musical composition “We Shall Overcome” (the “Song” or the Case 1:16-cv-02725-DLC Document 87 Filed 09/08/17 Page 2 of 66 “Copyrighted Song”), registered as a derivative work with the Copyright Office in 1960 and 1963. In this litigation, the plaintiffs We Shall Overcome Foundation (“WSOF”) and Butler Films, LLC (“Butler”) (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) challenge through a putative class action the validity of the Defendants’ copyrights in the Song. The Plaintiffs have filed a motion for partial summary judgment in which they principally argue that the lyrics and melody in the first verse and its identical fifth verse (“Verse 1/5”) of the Song are not sufficiently original to qualify for copyright registration as a derivative work.1 For the reasons that follow, that portion of the Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment is granted.

  • Articles from 2016
    Preview Shelf Articles for 2016 December 1, 2016 Discovering the Wild Heritage of the Nineteenth State By Dianne Combs It has been a wonderful year of celebration for the state of Indiana. Two hundred years of statehood! We have learned many things about our political and historical heritage, but I believe that Indiana still has many secrets that need to be learned. Here at the library we have some beautiful books that will help you explore the natural history of our great state. “The Natural Heritage of Indiana,” edited by Marion T. Jackson, takes us on a lively jaunt through the terrain of our great state. To my delight, the very first picture in Part One is of the “Honeycomb Rock” at Pine Hills Nature Preserve in the southwestern part of Montgomery County. Glaciation and its effects on our landscape are explained in detail, which helps me to understand all the rock formations I come across while exploring some of our nationally renowned state parks. Throughout this section, written by Henry Gray, we are taken on several tours of Indiana. He describes the terrain as if he were driving along highways and illustrates his discussion with appropriate topographical maps. Our soil and water, wetlands and caves — all these give our state its unique stamp on the map of our nation. Beautiful photographs of the flora and fauna of Indiana fill the pages of this coffee table book. I could spend hours just turning its pages, learning about the native plants and animals with which we share our land. We have recently acquired two copies of “A Place Called Turkey Run — A Celebration of Indiana’s Second State Park in Photographs and Words,” by Daniel P.

  • The Push and Pull of Languages: Youth Written Communication Across A
    The push and pull of languages: Youth written communication across a range of texts in Central Java Kristian TAMTOMO University at Albany, SUNY State University of New York Youths' multilingual literacy practices constitute sites in which their language use can be pushed and pulled in different directions. This article will investigate how the way youth groups from two vocational high schools in Semarang, Central Java use Javanese, Indonesian and English across different genres of texts reflect the way they negotiate the push and pull of the various language ideologies associated with these languages. In analyzing these texts, the article will adopt a social practice approach to literacy and will also emphasize that there are orders to the indexical meanings of languages. The youths' language use shows that the range of texts form a continuum, in which the more formal texts tend to highly regulated around Indonesian as the monolingual center whereas less formal texts are more open to the use of Javanese and English, including the playful combination and juxtaposition of languages that enable youth to recontextualize and even subvert the dominant indexical meanings associated with these languages. 1. Introduction1 Youths are often at the cutting edge of multilingualism as agents of linguistic change through their propensity to adopt hybrid genres, their affinity with trans-local cultural genres, and their embrace of new digital media (e.g., Alim, Ibrahim and Pennycook 2009; Bucholtz and Skapoulli 2009; Rampton 2005; Leppanen et al. 2009). In their language use, youths also have the tendency to use novel language varieties (styles, registers, dialects, multiple languages) in their practices of identity construction (Bucholtz 1999, 2001; Eckert 2000; Bailey 2001) even using and adopting language forms normally not associated with their own specific social or ethnic category (e.g., Cutler 1999; Rampton 2005).

  • Eddie Preston: Texas Trumpeter Fallen Through the Cracks Dave Oliphant
    Eddie Preston: Texas Trumpeter Fallen Through the Cracks Dave Oliphant 8 Photo of Eddie Preston from the album Charles Mingus in Paris. Courtesy Christian Rose and Sunnyside Communications. Identifying a jazz musician’s place of birth has interested me ever since my parents gave me a copy of Leonard Feather’s 1962 The New Edition of The Encyclopedia of Jazz. Some thirty years later it became essential for me to know which musicians hailed from my home state of Texas, once I had taken on the task of writing about Texans in jazz history. As a result of this quest for knowledge, I discovered, among other things, that guitarist, trombonist, and 9 composer-arranger Eddie Durham was born and raised in San Marcos, home to Texas State University. Although I never worked my way systematically through the Feather encyclopedia or any subsequent volumes devoted to the identification of musicians’ places and dates of birth, I mistakenly felt confident that I had checked every musician on any album I had acquired over the years to see if he or she was a native Texan. Following the 1996 publication of Texan Jazz, my survey of Texas jazz musicians, I discovered a few Texans and their recordings that I had not been aware of previously. When the opportunity arose, I included them in other publications, such as my 2002 study The Early Swing Era, 1930 to 1941, and my essay “Texan Jazz, 1920- 1950,” included in The Roots of Texas Music. Despite my best efforts to trace the origins of the many jazz musicians I chronicled, it took years before I realized that Eddie Preston (a trumpeter who was born in Dallas in 1925 and died in Palm Coast, Florida, in 2009) was a native of the Lone Star State.

  • 1 the Copy Theory of Movement: a View from PF* Željko Bošković and Jairo Nunes University of Connecticut / Universidade De S
    The Copy Theory of Movement: A view from PF * Željko Boškovi ć and Jairo Nunes University of Connecticut / Universidade de São Paulo Based on previous work by Boškovi ć (2001, 2002, 2004a,b) and Nunes (1999, 2004), this chapter discusses a considerable amount of evidence involving A-movement, A’-movement, head movement, and remnant movement that points to the conclusion that “traces” (i.e. copies structurally lower in the syntactic representation) may be phonetically realized. In addition, the issues regarding phonetic realization of copies are shown to be determined by conditions of the phonological component and not of syntax (movement) per se . As a result, the chapter is able to explain a variety of complex phenomena that cannot be captured by trace theory. The chapter starts by reviewing several pieces of evidence that show that the phonetic realization of copies is similar to the LF interpretive procedure in the sense that it allows activation of lower copies, as well as instances of “scattered deletion”, where different pieces of different chain links are realized. It is argued that convergence requirements related to linearization and morphological fusion interact with economy computations regarding applications of deletion, yielding a complex crosslinguistic pattern whereby chains in the general case have only their highest link phonetically realized, but they may also trigger pronunciation of a lower link or even pronunciation of multiple links if convergence so demands. 1. Introduction Chomsky (1993) revives the copy theory of movement, according to which a moved element leaves behind a copy of itself, rather than a trace. The conceptual underpinning for the revival of the copy theory is provided by the Inclusiveness Condition (see Chomsky 1995), a conceptually appealing condition that confines the power of syntax to (re-)arrangements of lexical items, banning syntax from creating new objects.

    (Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2012 1 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus KIRTSAENG, DBA BLUECHRISTINE99 v. JOHN WILEY & SONS, INC. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT No. 11–697. Argued October 29, 2012—Decided March 19, 2013 The “exclusive rights” that a copyright owner has “to distribute copies . of [a] copyrighted work,” 17 U. S. C. §106(3), are qualified by the application of several limitations set out in §§107 through 122, in- cluding the “first sale” doctrine, which provides that “the owner of a particular copy or phonorecord lawfully made under this title . is entitled, without the authority of the copyright owner, to sell or oth- erwise dispose of the possession of that copy or phonorecord,” §109(a). Importing a copy made abroad without the copyright owner’s permis- sion is an infringement of §106(3). See §602(a)(1). In Quality King Distributors, Inc. v. L’anza Research Int’l, Inc., 523 U. S. 135, 145, this Court held that §602(a)(1)’s reference to §106(3) incorporates the §§107 through 122 limitations, including §109’s “first sale” doctrine. However, the copy in Quality King was initially manufactured in the United States and then sent abroad and sold.

With this context, this research investigates Cebuano and English code-switching (CS) in the Central Philippines and Mindanao. This research draws from prior studies placing multilingual and code-switched language practices at the center of an individual’s identity rather than at the margins (Woolard, 1998; Stell, 2010; Eppler, 2010; Weston, 2013). Code-switching is defined to be the hybrid of multiple languages and, subsequently, multiple identities (Bullock & Toribio, 2009). I expand on these ideas to examine the homogeneity of Cebuano identity across four Cebuano speaking provinces in the Central Philippines and Mindanao through their CS practice in computer mediated communication (CMC) on Twitter. I demonstrate that the Cebuano speech community is divergent in their CS practices split into two general groups, which are employing CS practices at significantly different rates. Using computational tools, I implement a mixed methods approach in collecting and analyzing the data.
