John Travolta Fails To SLAPP His Ex-Pilot

I came across a particularly juicy lawsuit the other day involving John Travolta, his former pilot and an alleged affair between the two. Despite the sensational nature of this possibility, the juicy part actually lies in Travolta’s representation’s creative use of California’s anti-SLAPP statute. By Dylan Ashe from San Jose, USA (John Travolta) [CC BY-SA 2.0 , via […]

Sports Injuries Masked By Drug Use

More than 500 former professional athletes recently filed a lawsuit accusing the National Football League of illegally encouraging players to take risky narcotics—all in the name of masking serious personal sports injuries.

This isn’t helped by the fact that the rules seem to change almost as fast as the technology used to download films and music do.

Celebrities & Their First Amendment Rights

The right to free speech is a key part of our nation’s foundation. But what happens when that speech does not align with the personal views and opinions of the majority of the public?

Reality Stars Not 'Employees'

Over the past decade, reality television has dramatically increased in popularity. This can perhaps be attributed to the fact that viewers across America are fascinated with imagining themselves as actual participants of these programs—giving them the ability to blend both fantasy and reality within their own living rooms.

Twitter gets hit for Spammy Text Messages

Spam has become such a modern reality that we hardly think twice about the occasional promotional email, and junk mail is the single largest use of the United States Postal Service.
