  • all the truth i could tell a discussion of title vii s potential impact on systemic Entertainment Industry victimization
    Social Science Research Network, 2018
    Co-Authors: Nikki R Breeland
    Abstract:

    There has been a distinct rise in sexual assault allegations within the Entertainment Industry in recent years. The culture of the Industry, the nature of Entertainment contracts, and the abuse of the non-disclosure agreement are to blame for this rampant abuse of vulnerable entertainers. This Article focuses on the contractual prisons in which sexually abused entertainers find themselves when they attempt to part ways with their employers. Using prevailing equitable remedies in conjunction with the feminist contract theory of context and subjectivity can help alleviate some of the pressure on abused entertainers attempting to “breach” their contracts. While Title VII has been used in employment law, it has yet to be applied in the context of Entertainment contracts. Using this novel approach, Title VII can put Entertainment-based employers on the defensive by allowing intentional sexual torts to count as the first contract breach. One thing is for certain: something must be done to combat this culture of sexual assault within the Entertainment Industry.

    Author(s): Breeland, Nikki R. | Abstract: There has been a distinct rise in sexual assault allegations within the Entertainment Industry in recent years. The culture of the Industry, the nature of Entertainment contracts, and the abuse of the nondisclosure agreement are to blame for this rampant abuse of vulnerable entertainers. This Article focuses on the contractual prisons in which sexually abused entertainers find themselves when they attempt to part ways with their employers. Using prevailing equitable remedies in conjunction with the feminist contract theory of context and subjectivity can help alleviate some of the pressure on abused entertainers attempting to “breach” their contracts. While Title VII has been used in the employment law context, it has yet to be applied in the context of Entertainment contracts. Using this novel approach, Title VII can put Entertainment-based employers on the defensive by allowing intentional sexual torts to count as the first contract breach. One thing is for certain: something must be done to combat this culture of sexual assault within the Entertainment Industry.[1] [1]. “The recent revelations have proven that society must examine the persistent sexual harassment issue that has plagued women in some of the country’s most important industries. The first step to tackling the problem, though, must be addressing the contractual traps that are used to silence women and obscure the pattern of abuse. This Article uses feminist legal theory to shift the conversation, challenging how we’re characterizing ‘wrongdoing’ and ‘breaches.’ It is an important contribution to a vital national conversation.” Statement by Stacey Lantagne, Professor of Law, University of Mississippi School of Law, Oxford, Mississippi (Jan. 24, 2018).

  • a multi method approach to activities of photaku photo taking fans in the korean Entertainment Industry
    Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining, 2018
    Co-Authors: Sugyo Han, Zongmuk Yoon, Joongseek Lee
    Abstract:

    In the Korean Entertainment Industry, there exists 'photaku'---a particular group of fans who take photos and videos of their favorite celebrities and distribute them online. To find out structures of their activities, we used a multi-method approach using in-depth interviews, offline observation, and social media analysis. Our findings demonstrate that photaku engage in four types of unique activities: one main activity to distribute photos and videos and three types of secondary activities: strengthening their competitiveness, supporting celebrities and monetization.

  • Black swan models for the Entertainment Industry with an application to the movie business
    Empirical Economics, 2019
    Co-Authors: W. D. Walls, Jordi Mckenzie
    Abstract:

    Success in popular Entertainment is highly unpredictable. Yet it is the high-impact low-probability events—known as ‘black swans’—that drive Entertainment Industry profitability because success is highly concentrated on a small number of winners. In this research, we apply recently developed statistical tools to model motion-picture success; these tools explicitly account for rare extreme events while permitting valid statistical inferences to be made on how product attributes are associated with product success. The specific empirical application relates the attributes of a film and its theatrical release to the distribution of worldwide cumulative box-office revenue. A regression model with skew-stable random disturbances is applied to a large sample of motion pictures to quantify the correlates of film success while explicitly accounting for skewness and heavy tails. The skew-stable estimates are compared to estimates obtained from symmetric-stable regression, ordinary least-squares regression, and several alternative robust-to-outliers regression models. Failure to control explicitly for heavy tails and skewness generates misleading statistical inferences, particularly regarding the impact of production budget, opening week screens, and star power on a film’s success at the box-office.

  • digital consumer networks and producer consumer collaboration innovation and product development in the digital Entertainment Industry
    Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2007
    Co-Authors: R Y Arakji, Karl Reiner Lang
    Abstract:

    This paper examines new forms of collaboration between producers and consumers that are emerging in the digital Entertainment space. Taking the case of the video-game Industry, we show how firms have successfully engaged in outsourcing parts of their game design and development process to digital consumer networks. Applying economic analysis, we explore the potential benefits to both producers and consumers. We also discuss implications with respect to copyright enforcement on firm strategy for innovation. We finally indicate potential research areas in producer-consumer collaboration for innovation in general and in the music and moving image industries in particular, the value of digital consumer networks, as well as the effect of outsourcing to consumers on social surplus and the boundary of the firm
