- Authors
Sherrod, Heather
- Abstract
The article focuses on hot news doctrine, a law tort that punishes unfair competition through the misappropriation of time-sensitive noncopyrightable facts. It highlights the incompatibility of the doctrine with the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It discusses cases addressed by the Second Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals which reforms the doctrine including National Basketball Ass'n v. Motorola, X17, Inc. v. Lavandeira, and Barclays Capital Inc. v. Theflyonthewall.com.
