fun at these street fairs, but today she just wanted to go home. Ivy’s the reason I’m here, she thought, if only she actually bothered to show up. Mareike kept walking only to be stopped by some college kids running one of the booths. “Hey girlie, you look like you could use some of this,” one of the workers said. He walked back to the booth and poured something into one of the cups they had there.…

a core tenet of ethical consumption, fair trade ‒ a movement and label for products supplied by producers with fair and safe compensation for their work ‒ behaves as a combatant against human rights violations, particularly human trafficking, and promotes transparency and development for “marginalized” workers. With a 15% global increase in fair trade sales from 2012 to 2013, according to Fairtrade International, a major fair trade certifier since 1997, fair trade has grown in recognition in…

**HOOK NEEDED** In the satiric novel, Vanity Fair, William Makepeace Thackeray exposes and examines the vanities of 19th century England. Numerous characters in the novel pursue wealth, power, and social standing, often through marriage or matrimony. Thackeray effectively uses the institution of marriage to comment on how these vanities often come at the expense of the true emotions of passion, devotion, and, of course, love. In Vanity Fair, money is the pinnacle to all solutions to nearly all…

The Fall 2016 Career Fair at Kennesaw State University was a very overwhelming yet informative experience. The amount of career paths available to students in the major of psychology is astonishing. I visited many booths at the career fair, all of which had something to do with psychology. I also got 3 signatures from various companies after discussing career opportunities with a representative. The signatures I got were from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Top Golf, and RADCO Residential. All three of…

I. Newsflash’s use of Schwarzenegger’s image and likeness will be protected under the fair use provision in California’s Right of Publicity because it does pass the transformative test for works of comment and criticism, but not under works of artistic expression. The main legislation pertinent to this case is the California Civil Code § 3344 (a) and (d), which states: (a) Any person who knowingly uses another’s name, voice, signature, photograph, or likeness, in any manner, on or in products,…

Orbison’s song “Oh, Pretty Woman.” The district court granted that 2 Live Crew’s song was a parody and therefore under fair use with the original song. The Court of Appeals reversed, stating that the commercial nature of the parody made it unfair. The case was argued in 1993 and in 1994 the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously decided in favor of Campbell, stating that not all of the elements of fair use were weighed. They found that the Court of Appeals had erred in “applying the presumption of that…

The five tests for analyzing Fair Use are Transformative Factor, nature of the copyright work, the amount and substantiality of the portion used, the effect of the use upon the potential market, and the moral judgement…

In 2005 when YouTube first launched, people would likely be shocked to hear that there was a lawsuit between two creators over the content that they were producing–it seemed entirely unheard of at the time, but last year, a lawsuit was filed between two YouTube creators, MattHossZone and h3h3productions. This is the first big lawsuit filed between two creators in YouTube history. H3h3productions, a YouTube channel created and run by husband-and-wife duo Ethan and Hila Klein, showcases the…

sampling as well as having a more recognizable pattern and distribution in the digital world as of recent. The inclusion of Polish law and its immediate relevance could be called into question as copyright laws relating to the United States only applies in the United States, and else where it (should) become irrelevant. However, the citing and paraphrasing of Polish laws and dictations on sampling or derivatives could provide a window of opportunity for change in the legal system favorable to…
