The association between the number of behavior change techniques used in physical therapist counselling and self-management outcomes in people with rheumatoid arthritis
Creators: name: Mucha, Julia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Background: Self-management is crucial to disease management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to reduce symptom burden, improve quality of life, and enhance physical function. To facilitate behavior change, physiotherapists can apply behavior change techniques (BCTs) to promote self-management and physical activity. A 40-item taxonomy can be used to identify BCTs in interventions targeting physical activity participation. The number of BCTs used can vary and no optimal number has been found when designing interventions. Objective: To explore the association between the number of BCTs in the initial physical therapy counselling session and participant’s change in self-management ability and physical activity participation. Methods: This study was an exploratory, secondary analysis nested within a randomised controlled trial investigating the effectiveness of a multifaceted counselling program on improving self-management ability of people with RA. Participants completed a 26-week intervention, in which they had seven physical activity counselling sessions with a Brief Action Planning-trained physiotherapist. During counselling, the physiotherapists helped participants set activity goals. Self-management ability and physical activity participation were assessed before and after the intervention using the Patient Activation Measure and a multisensory device, respectively. Participants were eligible for the secondary analysis if: 1) they consented to having their first counselling session recorded, 2) they completed both pre- and post- intervention assessments measuring at least one of the outcome variables. The first counselling session was coded for BCTs using the 40-item taxonomy. A heat map was developed to visualise the BCTs used in counselling. Correlation and univariate regression were conducted to explore the association between the number of BCTs in the initial session and change in self-management outcomes. Results: Of the 40 BCTs, 18 were identified in the sample of counselling sessions. There was no significant relationship between the number of BCTs and the self-management outcomes. A potential threshold of 8 or more BCTs was explored, and no relationship was found with the outcome variables. Conclusion: The number of BCTs used does not seem to influence the effectiveness of an intervention on self-management outcomes of people with RA.

description: Secondary liability in China for trademark infringement online can be best understood in the context of the three periods of e-commerce development that took place in the country. During the embryonic stage (1999 to 2002), there were very few netizens and online business operators, and a number of enterprises, including 8848—China’s e-commerce enterprise flagship—rose but then quickly fell.1 In the rising phase (2003 to 2007) that followed, small and medium-sized ecommerce platforms like Alibaba—an e-commerce company that eventually established Taobao.com and other businesses—began to make profits and a number of e-commerce providers, including E-Commerce China Dangdang and EachNet, rose rapidly.2 Throughout this period, the number of online vendors increased from 4 million to 35.5 million.3 An e-commerce boom began in 2008, and Alibaba, NetSun, Suning Appliance Company, GOME Electrical Appliances and other traditional retailers became publicly traded companies. Meanwhile, Redbaby and Beijing Jingdong Trading Co. entered into and started the competition of businessto-consumer (B2C) marketing.

description: Motivated by a series of experiments that revealed a temperature dependence of the dynamic scaling regime of growing surfaces, we investigate theoretically how a nonequilibrium growth process reacts to a sudden change of system parameters. We discuss quenches between correlated regimes through exact expressions derived from the stochastic Edwards-Wilkinson equation with a variable diffusion constant. Our study reveals that a sudden change of the diffusion constant leads to remarkable changes in the surface roughness. Different dynamic regimes, characterized by a power-law or by an exponential relaxation, are identified, and a dynamic phase diagram is constructed. We conclude that growth processes provide one of the rare instances where quenches between correlated regimes yield a power-law relaxation.

Prefaces to Scalia/Ginsburg: A (Gentle) Parody of Operatic Proportions
Creators: name: Scalia, Antonin
name: Ginsberg, Ruth Bader
Publisher: name: The Columbia Journal of Law & the Arts
Year: 2019

description: Scalia/Ginsburg is for me a dream come true. If I could choose the talent I would most like to have, it would be a glorious voice. I would be a great diva, perhaps Renata Tebaldi or Beverly Sills or, in the mezzo range, Marilyn Horne. But my grade school music teacher, with brutal honesty, rated me a sparrow, not a robin. I was told to mouth the words, never to sing them. Even so, I grew up with a passion for opera, though I sing only in the shower, and in my dreams. One fine day, a young composer, librettist and pianist named Derrick Wang approached Justice Scalia and me with a request. While studying Constitutional Law at the University of Maryland Law School, Wang had an operatic idea. The different perspectives of Justices Scalia and Ginsburg on constitutional interpretation, he thought, could be portrayed in song. Wang put his idea to the “will it write” test. He composed a comic opera with an important message brought out in the final duet, “We are different, we are one”—one in our reverence for the Constitution, the U.S. judiciary and the Court on which we serve. Would we listen to some excerpts from the opera, Wang asked, and then tell him whether we thought his work worthy of pursuit and performance? Good readers, as you leaf through the libretto, check some of the many footnotes disclosing Wang’s sources, and imagine me a dazzling diva, I think you will understand why, in answer to Wang’s question, I just said “Yes.” Preface by Justice Antonin Scalia: While Justice Ginsburg is confident that she has achieved her highest and best use as a Supreme Justice, I, alas, have the nagging doubt that I could have been a contendah—for a divus, or whatever a male diva is called. My father had a good tenor voice, which he trained at the Eastman School of Music. I sang in the Georgetown Glee Club (directed by Washington Post music critic Paul Hume, whom President Truman rewarded with a valuable letter for his review of Margaret’s singing). I have sung in choirs and choral groups much of my life, up to and including my days on the D.C. Circuit. And the utter peak of my otherwise uneventful judicial career was an evening after the Opera Ball at the British Ambassador’s Residence, when I joined two tenors from the Washington Opera singing various songs at the piano—the famous Three Tenors performance. I suppose, however, that it would be too much to expect the author of Scalia/Ginsburg to allow me to play (sing) myself—especially if Ruth refuses to play (sing) herself. Even so, it may be a good show.

description: We consider the contributions to $g_μ-2$ from fourth generation heavy neutral and charged leptons, $N$ and $E$, at the one-loop level. Diagrammatically, there are two types of contributions: boson-boson-$N$, and $E$-$E$-boson in the loop diagram. In general, the effect from $N$ is suppressed by off-diagonal lepton mixing matrix elements. For $E$, we consider flavor changing neutral couplings arising from various New Physics models, which are stringently constrained by $μ\to eγ$. We assess how the existence of a fourth generation would affect these New Physics models.

Author-Centered Copyright Enforcement?
Creators: name: Weatherall, Kimberlee
Publisher: name: The Columbia Journal of Law & the Arts
Year: 2019

description: This Symposium explores our flexibility within international copyright law to better serve the purposes of copyright and, specifically, to benefit the individual human creators (authors) of our cultural and intellectual heritage.1 Where other contributions consider the potential for a different allocation of rights, here I explore the potential for author-centered copyright enforcement: could we frame copyright enforcement practices and remedies with the explicit goal of promoting the interests of authors? Could enforcement reform avoid the zero-sum game that pits homogenous and undifferentiated “copyright interests” (authors and publishers) against the rest of the world (commercial infringers, users, intermediaries, and others)? The international legal framework governing copyright enforcement is relatively open-textured. It is worth at least considering whether we could tailor civil enforcement procedures and remedies so that authors can win without ever more draconian enforcement.2 Apart from certain very specific contexts—such as moral rights3—authors are rarely recognised as having interests in enforcement distinct from those of other right holders. But although authors and cultural intermediaries (publishers, record companies, and other disseminators of content) “do market battle shackled one to another as they do battle with users” with the “prime aim” of “driv[ing] away pirates and freeloaders and [extracting] returns from licensees,”4 their interests when infringement is alleged are not co-extensive. The division of risks and rewards in litigation can reflect well-known imbalances in bargaining power between authors and disseminators.5 Contracts may allocate significant litigation risk to authors, while allocating litigation decision-making and rewards to the entity that owns copyright.6 Authors have distinct moral claims, and personal interests not likely to be felt with the same intensity by publishers or record companies.7 Further, needs and desires of authors can conflict with those of investors.8 I have argued elsewhere for better recognition of the personhood and interests of defendants in thinking about copyright procedures and remedies9 and, in other earlier work, focused on how we might get better value from the public investment in copyright enforcement.10 So my purpose here is not to advocate for a model, but rather, to demonstrate that there are author-friendly alternatives to the constant upwards ratchet of copyright enforcement reform.

The ‘Art’ of Copyright
Creators: name: Rich, R. Bruce
Publisher: name: The Columbia Journal of Law & the Arts
Year: 2019

description: This is the 31st Manges lecture, and I am honored to be the first private practitioner to deliver it. Copyright law is rich in its constitutional and legislative heritage, in its doctrinal underpinnings, and in its interplay with other important legal and social regimes and norms. This complex heritage has been honored—and its contours provocatively discussed—by prior Manges lecturers spanning the federal judiciary, members of Congress, three Registers of Copyright, numerous scholars in the field—including Bob Gorman, and international copyright experts, among others. An important dimension of this copyright matrix not yet explored in this setting is the central role practicing attorneys have played in the continuing evolution of copyright law. Whereas the pace of legislative change in copyright law is glacial, its evolution via court decision and evolving commercial practice is continual. And it is the practicing bar: who are confronted with myriad real world, time sensitive applications of this body of law; who create the factual records and who brief and argue the legal issues that undergird judicial decisions in the field; who negotiate complex license agreements in reliance on understandings of copyright law with broad consequences for the dissemination of works of creative expression; and who, like Horace Manges, represent the spectrum of affected parties and industries in the halls of Congress, before the Copyright Office, Justice Department, Office of the Solicitor General, and other relevant federal agencies on all matters relating to copyright. Not limited to copyright, those of us in private practice tend to take our cases— and usually our clients—as we find them. In my own experience, applied to the copyright sphere, this intellectual flexibility has had enormous advantages. I say this because, to be effective counselors and advocates, copyright practitioners need fully to appreciate the balancing act that is copyright law. *This is a transcript of the 31st Annual Horace S. Manges Lecture delivered by R. Bruce Rich on March 26, 2018. Mr. Rich is a senior partner at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and currently co-heads the firm’s Intellectual Property/Media practice.

description: Using gamma-ray data collected by the Astrorivelatore Gamma ad Immagini LEggero (AGILE) satellite over a period of almost one year (from 2007 July to 2008 June), we searched for pulsed signals from 35 potentially interesting radio pulsars, ordered according to $F_γ\propto \sqrt{\dot{E}} d^{-2}$ and for which contemporary or recent radio data were available. AGILE detected three new top-ranking nearby and Vela-like pulsars with good confidence both through timing and spatial analysis. Among the newcomers we find pulsars with very high rotational energy losses, such as the remarkable PSR B1509-58 with a magnetic field in excess of 10^13 Gauss, and PSR J2229+6114 providing a reliable identification for the previously unidentified EGRET source 3EG 2227+6122. Moreover, the powerful millisecond pulsar B1821-24, in the globular cluster M28, is detected during a fraction of the observations. Four other promising gamma-ray pulsar candidates, among which is the notable J2043+2740 with an age in excess of 1 million years, show a possible detection in the timing analysis only and deserve confirmation.

The Need for a Federal Anti-SLAPP Law in Today’s Digital Media Climate
Creators: name: Bergelson, Lauren
Publisher: name: The Columbia Journal of Law & the Arts
Year: 2019

description: This Note lays out the judicial protections granted to the traditional press and identifies new threats to non-traditional presses through the rise of third-party litigation financing for lawsuits targeting negative reporting. Part I distinguishes between libel and privacy lawsuits, explaining why one approach—particularly in the digital age—can be more fruitful for plaintiffs. Part I also draws from recent Supreme Court precedent to contextualize current attitudes regarding speech and privacy. Part II analyzes two recent new media cases with troubling results: specifically, million-dollar costs at best, and bankruptcy at worst. While ample protections exist for the traditional press, in light of these lawsuits, it is worth considering what more could and should be done to protect media outlets, especially the non-traditional presses. Part II also examines the chilling effect of potential billionaire-backed lawsuits. Because of threats from third-party litigation financiers and because judicial protections are intended for traditional presses, new publishers are left in a precarious position; Part III advocates for a federal anti-SLAPP law as a potential solution.

description: We review the out-of-equilibrium properties of a self-gravitating gas of particles in the presence of a strong friction and a random force (canonical gas). We assume a bare diffusion coefficient of the form $D(ρ)=Tρ^{1/n}$, where $ρ$ is the local particle density, so that the equation of state is $P(ρ)=D(ρ)ρ$. Depending on the spatial dimension $d$, the index $n$, the temperature $T$, and whether the system is confined to a finite box or not, the system can reach an equilibrium state, collapse or evaporate. This article focuses on the latter cases, presenting a complete dynamical phase diagram of the system.

description: We have studied the perturbation of a spinning dilaton black hole in 2 +1 dimensions by a massless scalar field. The wave equations of a massless scalar field is shown to be exactly solvable in terms of hypergeometric functions. The quasinormal frequencies are computed for slowly spinning black holes. The stability of the black hole is discussed. The asymptotic form of the quasinormal frequencies are evaluated. The area spectrum of the quantum black holes are evaluated by using the asymptotic quasi-normal frequencies and is shown to be equally-spaced.

Our photometry and completeness tests show that the end falls at magnitude m_F606W = 27.5 +/- 0.15, which implies an age between ~1.8 and ~2.0 Gyr, consistent with the age of 1.9 +/- 0.2 Gyr obtained from fits to the main-sequence turn-off. The faintest white dwarfs show a clear turn toward bluer colors, as predicted by theoretical isochrones.

Bidirectional associations between social media use and psychopathology
Creators: name: Abdul Karim, Adri Khalis Bin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Social media platforms, such as Instagram and Facebook (IG/FB), are central to communication and relationship development among emerging adults. This phenomenon raises concerns regarding how the use of this technology might be related to the psychopathology of those who use it. Existing longitudinal work has largely focused on how social media predicts psychopathology, with less attention on how psychopathology might also predict the way we engage with social media. Further, we know little about whether the type of psychopathology (e.g., internalizing versus attention/deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms), or the type of social media use (e.g., quantity, behaviours, and quality) matter for these associations. Using a short-term longitudinal design, the current study investigated the bidirectional associations between dimensions of IG/FB use and aspects of psychopathology (internalizing symptoms and ADHD symptoms) in a sample of 399 emerging adult users of IG/FB with elevations in psychopathology symptoms and perceived their social media use to have some negative impact on their lives. I also investigated the potential role that quality and quantity of IG/FB use might play in mediating associations between internalizing psychopathology and ADHD symptoms. Self-reported psychopathology and IG/FB use were assessed every 2 weeks for a total of 6 weeks. Similarly, participants’ IG/FB pages were observationally coded every 2 weeks for a total of 6 weeks. Findings indicated that higher quantity of IG/FB use predicted more internalizing symptoms 2 weeks later. Higher quality IG/FB use also predicted subsequent increases in both internalizing psychopathology and ADHD symptoms. More internalizing symptoms at a previous timepoint was associated with greater engagement in upward social comparisons at subsequent timepoints. I found that higher internalizing psychopathology was bidirectionally associated with increased engagement in social comparisons, and vice-versa. Neither quantity nor quality of IG/FB use mediated associations between internalizing psychopathology and ADHD symptoms. I note that my findings may not generalize to individuals who are not elevated in psychopathology symptoms or do not perceive their IG/FB use to have a negative impact on their lives and may not speak to experiences on other social media.

The criterion used in the computation involves specific commutation polynomials and leads to an algorithm and an implementation extending the one provided in [MT'05]. This general border basis algorithm weakens the monomial ordering requirement for \grob bases computations. It is up to date the most general setting for representing quotient algebras, embedding into a single formalism Gröbner bases, Macaulay bases and new representation that do not fit into the previous categories. With this formalism we show how the syzygies of the border basis are generated by commutation relations. We also show that our construction of normal form is stable under small perturbations of the ideal, if the number of solutions remains constant. This new feature for a symbolic algorithm has a huge impact on the practical efficiency as it is illustrated by the experiments on classical benchmark polynomial systems, at the end of the paper.

description: We prove that a closed 4-manifold has shadow-complexity zero if and only if it is a kind of 4-dimensional graph manifold, which decomposes into some particular blocks along embedded copies of S^2 x S^1, plus some complex projective spaces. We deduce a classification of all 4-manifolds with finite fundamental group and shadow-complexity zero.

What Trademark Law Is Learning from the Right of Publicity
Creators: name: Beebe, Barton
Publisher: name: The Columbia Journal of Law & the Arts
Year: 2019

description: In 2006, Stacey Dogan and Mark Lemley published the now classic article “What the Right of Publicity Can Learn from Trademark Law.” There they urged us to “[r]econceiv[e] the right of publicity as a trademark-like right,” particularly because “looking at the right of publicity through the lens of trademark law offers logical ways to limit the right.” Right of publicity law’s failure to incorporate trademark law’s limitations had resulted, they argue, in the right of publicity functioning as “a mutant version of trademark policy . . . .” I argue here in response that regrettably, notwithstanding Dogan and Lemley’s good advice, the reality is that it is trademark law that has become more like right of publicity law. Indeed, trademark law is in danger of becoming a “mutant version” of right of publicity policy. To defend this claim, I will first briefly survey the conventionally-recognized similarities and differences between trademark law and right of publicity law. I will then propose a more complicated—and, I think, more accurate—comparison between the two areas of law and argue that they are converging in many important ways, giving us the worst of both worlds. In what follows, I will focus more on trademark law, not only because many other contributions to this Symposium thoroughly discuss right of publicity law, but also because I think we should be especially concerned with trademark law’s mutation in the age of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores and Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission into a kind of right of publicity law for corporate personhoods. Before I proceed, I should emphasize one point from the start. I very much doubt that Dogan or Lemley would disagree with the general thrust of my argument, not least because much of it draws upon other work by them.

description: Large-scale structure projections are an obstacle in converting the shear signal of clusters detected in weak-lensing maps into virial masses. However, this step is not necessary for constraining cosmology with the shear-peak abundance, if we are able to predict its amplitude. We generate a large ensemble of N-body simulations spanning four cosmological models, with total volume V~1 (Gpc/h)^3 per model. Variations to the matter density parameter and amplitude of fluctuations are considered. We measure the abundance of peaks in the mass density projected in ~100 Mpc/h slabs to determine the impact of structures spatially correlated with the simulation clusters, identified by the 3D friends-of-friends algorithm. The halo model shows that the choice of the smoothing filter for the density field is important in reducing the contribution of correlated projections to individual halo masses. Such contributions are less than 2% in the case of the optimal, compensated filter used throughout this analysis. We measure the change in the mass of peaks when projected in slabs of various thicknesses. Peaks in slabs of 26 Mpc/h and 102 Mpc/h suffer an average mass change of less than 2% compared to their mass in slabs of 51 Mpc/h. We then explore the cosmology dependence of the projected-peak mass function, and find that, for a wide range of slab thicknesses (<500 Mpc/h), it scales with cosmology in exactly the same way as the 3D friends-of-friends mass function and the Sheth-Tormen formula. This extends the earlier result of Marian et al. (2009). Finally, we show that for all cosmological models considered, the low and intermediate mass bins of the peak abundance can be described using a modified Sheth-Tormen functional form to within 10%-20% accuracy.

The Roots of Sexual Privacy

description: It is lovely to be here, especially because, as a privacy scholar, I am a bit of an interloper with the IP crowd. Whenever anyone mentions IP, I think they mean “information privacy.” So, in this group of intellectual property scholars, I am surely an outlier as well. It is exciting to find a kindred spirit in Jennifer Rothman’s book, which conceptualizes privacy as centrally involved with the formation of identity. What I am going to do is circle back to tell the story of Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis, what they were doing in their famous law review article, how they broke new ground, and some of the history around the project and the writers themselves. Then, I am going to talk about sexual privacy, the focus on my current work.

Potentiating Loopholes: How Erratic and Piecemeal Implementation of the 1970 UNESCO Convention Has Failed to Protect Cultural Antiquities
Creators: name: Kuzma, William
Publisher: name: The Columbia Journal of Law & the Arts
Year: 2019

description: Despite centuries-old international concerns, American protection of international cultural antiquities is a relatively recent phenomenon. For example, the United States joined a 1954 multilateral treaty on the protection of cultural antiquities only once the treaty had become binding international customary law, and thus likely binding on the United States nonetheless. The United States has been reticent to join many of the major treaties that protect cultural antiquities, and its adoption of these treaties remains piecemeal and inconsistently enforced. There are loopholes in the present international system that continue to permit looting and pillaging to take place worldwide. In this Note, I posit that the current implementation scheme of the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership and Cultural Property (1970 UNESCO Convention), both in the United States and in other countries, creates these loopholes, which in turn render the entire system ineffectual. Despite the many attempts at creating broad, multilateral conventions to globally protect cultural antiquities, the United States is only party to two sections of the 1970 UNESCO Convention,9 and it only joined the 1954 Hague Convention in 2009. Additionally, joining the 1954 Hague Convention was merely a formality for the United States because several provisions had already become customary international law and were thus binding on the United States nonetheless.10 As I will show below, the United States’ failure to fully adopt international law on the protection of cultural antiquities hinders the judiciary, as well as our fellow signatories to the 1970 UNESCO Convention, in protecting international cultural antiquities.

Embedding Content or Interring Copyright

description: The “server rule” holds that online displays or performances of copyrighted content accomplished through “in-line” or “framing” hyperlinks do not trigger the exclusive rights of public display or performance unless the linker also possesses a copy of the underlying work. As a result, the rule shields a vast array of online activities from claims of direct copyright infringement, effectively exempting those activities from the reach of the Copyright Act. While the server rule has enjoyed relatively consistent adherence since its adoption in 2007, some courts have recently suggested a departure from that precedent, noting the doctrinal and statutory inconsistencies underlying it. Authors and copyright owners have long lamented that the server rule’s immunization of certain online activities eviscerates their ability to control how their works are disseminated on the Internet. But many Internet users and commercial actors have incorporated the rule’s liability shield into their expectations about how the Internet does (and should) function. Accordingly, while authors and copyright owners foresee improved prospects for remuneration, many commentators and advocacy groups have expressed concerns regarding the recent judicial doubt about the validity of the server rule. They contend that, without the server rule, the Internet would cease to function as it does today. However, these concerns overlook the applicable defenses—in particular, the defenses of safe harbor under § 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and express license—which, we expect, would take on a more significant role in a post- server rule world. In this Article, we explore the likely effect of the potential reversal of the server rule, taking into account these defenses. We conclude that the principal difference between copyright law with and without the server rule comes down to the author’s ability to obtain the removal of links to infringing content, and to authorize embedding of content from a source to which the public had lawful access. Moreover, while the reversal of the server rule may interrupt a handful of online services that rely entirely on the unauthorized appropriation of copyrighted works, most online practices would likely continue unaltered in the post-server rule world.

description: The Kaluza-Klein reduction of 4d conformally flat spacetimes is reconsidered. The corresponding 3d equations are shown to be equivalent to 2d gravitational kink equations augmented by a centrifugal term. For space-like gauge fields and non-trivial values of the centrifugal term the gravitational kink solutions describe a spacetime that is divided in two disconnected regions.

The Gallerist’s Gambit

description: This essay presents an account of an important moment in the emergence of the market for Pop art that was facilitated in part by a distinctly accommodating legal environment. Although Abstract Expressionism is commonly credited with causing American art’s ascendance onto the world stage immediately after World War II, its international acclaim belied a precarious institutional and financial infrastructure for living American painters. It was only with the following generation of Pop and Minimalist artists that the United States developed a self-sustaining market for the work of contemporary American artists. A significant but largely overlooked factor in that continued success was the ability of art dealers to take advantage of the unique legal and regulatory environment of the 1960s. This essay focuses on the efforts of an enterprising art gallerist, Leo Castelli, to aggressively promote his stable of Pop artists through the development of several financial structures, including some designed to leverage the relatively generous income tax deductions and anemic enforcement regime of the time. In doing so, Castelli not only seeded the ground for the international ascendance of American visual art, but also engineered financial arrangements that fostered the development of a lucrative and resilient art market that endures to this day.

Publicity Rights and the Estate Tax
Creators: name: Gans, Mitchell M.
Publisher: name: The Columbia Journal of Law & the Arts
Year: 2019

description: The estate tax treatment of publicity rights factors into the debate regarding whether such rights should be transferrable at death. Some point to the estate tax as a reason for making publicity rights non-transferrable. For if they are transferrable, estate-tax inclusion could result. And, the argument goes, the estate or the beneficiaries could well be coerced into commercializing the rights in order to raise the money to pay the tax. Making them nontransferable would eliminate this possibility. This Article considers some of the connections between the federal estate tax and the state law treatment of publicity rights. It concludes with a suggestion about the tax treatment of publicity rights at a more general level. Part I explores the estate tax treatment of publicity rights and, in particular, the provision the celebrity Robin Williams used in his will in order to address his apparent concern about forced commercialization. While the provision appears to be based on dicta in the Ninth Circuit, its effectiveness is questionable. This Part concludes with a recommendation that legislation at the state level permit celebrities to extinguish during life their post-death publicity rights. With such legislation in place, the concern about forced commercialization would be eliminated—thus permitting the state law question of transferability to be resolved solely on the basis of non-tax considerations. Part II considers the characterization of post-death publicity rights as an independent right under state legislation and the estate tax implications of such a characterization. An analogy is made to the estate-tax treatment of wrongful death proceeds, which are typically characterized as independent of the victim’s pre-death claim and are therefore not included in the gross estate. Part III examines two ancillary estate-tax issues that can arise where state law authorizes transferability: first, the impact of retroactive state legislation making publicity rights transferrable in the case of a decedent dying prior to enactment; and, second, the impact of a movement away from traditional choice-of-law rules in this context. Part IV concludes with a broader suggestion: that the estate tax be made entirely inapplicable to publicity rights without regard to the state law question of transferability. Instead, the proceeds from the exploitation of these rights would be fully taxable as income to the beneficiaries when received, obviating the need to engage in a difficult, potentially protracted inquiry into the valuation of the rights at the time of death.

description: We show that intermediate mass black holes conjectured to be the early precursors of supermassive black holes and surrounded by relic cold dark matter density spikes can act as particle accelerators with collisions, in principle, at arbitrarily high centre of mass energies in the case of Kerr black holes. While the ejecta from such interactions will be highly redshifted, we may anticipate the possibility of a unique probe of Planck-scale physics.
