The Word Detective) • Gothic stories (cf. Gothic novels) Gothic fiction, sometimes referred to as Gothic horror, is a genre or mode of literature that combines elements of both horror and romance. Gothicism's origin is attributed to English author Horace Walpole, with his 1764 novel The Castle of Otranto, subtitled "A Gothic Story". The effect of Gothic fiction feeds on a pleasing sort of terror, an extension of Romantic literary pleasures that were relatively new at the time of Walpole's novel. Melodrama and parody (including self-parody) were other long-standing features of the Gothic initiated by Walpole. It originated in England in the second half of the 18th century and had much success during the English romantic period with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and the works of Edgar Allan Poe. A later well known novel in this genre, dating from the Victorian era, is Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The name Gothic refers to the (pseudo)- medieval buildings in which many of these stories take place. This extreme form of romanticism was very popular in England and Germany. The English gothic novel also led to new novel types such as the German Schauerroman and the French roman noir. • Hadrian’s Wall The Glamour of Grammar by Roy Peter Clark • grammazons (cf.

    DON’T LET THE WORLD ROT: ANARCHISM, HARDCORE, AND COUNTERCULTURE by PEARSON L. BOLT B.A. University of Central Florida, 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of English in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Summer Term 2016 Major Professor: Anthony Grajeda © Pearson Bolt 2016 ii ABSTRACT Hardcore music is intrinsically anarchistic. The hardcore music scene represents a radical departure from contemporary society. Rejecting the materialism, militarism, and hedonism of the mainstream music scene—and, by extension, modern culture—hardcore music presents an alternative lifestyle rooted in solidarity, equality, and liberty. Indeed, the culture of the hardcore scene approaches a transitive, nomadic model of an anarchistic commune built on resistance as a way of life. In this study, I identified the ways music and lyrics craft attitudes and environments for revolt and rebellion, cultivating critical thinking and disobedience in equal measures. In order to understand the hardcore community, I conducted interviews, studied political theory, analyzed the lyrics of hardcore bands, and synthesized the data to draw connections between major thematic elements of this community. I’ve found that hardcore music has created a countercultural ethos that subverts and defies political apathy and instigates direct action in order to revolutionize the political process and erect spaces of anarchic solidarity. Keywords: anarchy, hardcore, music, politics, counterculture iii For Barrett Brown, Jeremy Hammond, Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange, and the countless other journalists, dissidents, academics, and anarchists arrested, exiled, and executed by the State for crimes of conscience—may we follow your example and engage in protest, rebellion, direct action, and insurrection with songs of resistance on our lips.

Given, Phillips Erlewine & Given, LLP I. Music Industry Download Cases: A. Sledge v. Warner Music Group. On January 23, 2014, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg granted preliminary approval to a deal struck between a group of recording artists and Warner Music Group over the treatment of monies derived from digital downloads and ringtones. The deal provides an $11.5 million fund for pre-digital age artists to claim against for past amounts based on their download activity together with an uplift (subject to a floor and ceiling) in the royalty rate paid to artists by WMG on download activity.1 The court has set a hearing for final approval in October 2014. B. James v. UMG Recordings, Inc. Ongoing class action litigation against UMGR over the treatment of digital licensing income brought by the estate of Rick James, Chuck D. of Public Enemy, Dave Mason, Whitesnake and others.2 The court has set a hearing on plaintiffs’ motion for class certification in November 2014. (A similar case is pending in the same court against EMI/Capitol Records, now owned by UMGR, which has only just gotten underway.) C. Shropshire v. Sony Music Entertainment; Youngblood v. BMG Music. Plaintiffs, including The Allman Brothers, Cheap Trick, and The Youngbloods, alleged that BMG and Sony (and after a 2004 merger, Sony BMG Music Entertainment), failed to render to them and other artists accurate accounting statements and to properly account and credit royalties for digital music downloads, mobile phone ringtones, and ringback tone uses generated by Sony/BMG’s licensing of the plaintiffs’ and other class members’ master recordings to third-party licensees.

Lee ) v. ) ) VICTORY RECORDS, INC. and ANOTHER ) VICTORY, INC., ) ) Defendants. ) MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER Defendants Victory Records, Inc. and Another Victory, Inc. (“Victory”) seek to preclude Plaintiffs Joshua Woodard, Neil Westfall, Alex Shelnutt, and Jeremy McKinnon, members of the rock band, A Day to Remember (collectively “ADTR”), from releasing a new album on Tuesday, October 8, 2013. Victory contends that ADTR is precluded from releasing the album because it has not yet satisfied its obligations under a recording contract that requires ADTR to release five albums under the Victory label. In response, ADTR argues that it has delivered more than the five required albums to Victory and should not be precluded from releasing its new album independently. Although the ultimate issue of whether ADTR has satisfied its obligations to Victory under the recording contract is yet to be determined, Victory asks the Court to impose the extraordinary remedy of injunctive relief to preclude ADTR from releasing the album during the pendency of this case. For the reasons set forth herein, the Court concludes that such an extreme remedy is not appropriate based upon the record before it, and Victory’s motion is denied.
