Then, Google shows photos taken with its Real Tone feature, which uses computational photography technology to properly expose photos of people with varying skin tones. The photos are gorgeous, displayed while Lizzo sings an unreleased track.

Ultimately, Jost and Johansson decide that mind-reading devices would ultimately be bad, but… I guess the point of the commercial is to entertain, not to explain what the product does? Jost does successfully ask his smart device to turn on the TV, though, which does display some of Alexa’s less-terrifying skills. It’s because it’s like she can read your mind, she doesn’t actually read your mind … right?

Electric vehicle start-up Polestar, which is expected to go public this year, used its first-ever Super Bowl ad to indirectly take shots at its competitors, including

The film, due out in June, takes place four years after "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom," in which audiences saw genetically enhanced dinosaurs let loose into the public after a botched auction.

“Social TV engagement hasn’t been fully priced yet,” Iskold said. “We are collectively working to figure out the value to the advertisers. “It took years for the traditional display ad model to solidify; I don’t think it will take us that long to price social TV.”

Silhouettes of five of the world"s leading motor oils are displayed on screen. One-by-one, each bottle floats away when the voice over states that only one motor oil exceeds all car makers US Warranty Requirements and surpasses the American Petroleum Institute"s highest standards for car engine protection for every weight it sells. This leaves only one motor oil bottle left and is revealed to be Pennzoil.

Actor, John Cleese displays a number of the company"s latest electronics. As the ad progresses, Cleese appears on the screen or lens of each subsequent product, with some of the Johns becoming increasingly frustrated.

Several years ago, the league sent a cease-and-desist letter to an Indiana church that had planned to broadcast the "Big Game" on a large TV and charge an attendance fee. In the letter to the church, the league stated that it was a violation of copyright law to display "The Biggest Event in Pro Football" to a public gathering on a screen larger than 55 inches diagonally. The controversial order caused the league to back down and said it would not enforce its rule against church group"s big-screen viewings as long as the showings are free and are on premises that the church uses on a "routine and customary" basis. But it still remains in effect that others cannot display the game publicly on sets larger than 55 inches.

Yes. As long as the guests that you invite are your friends and family in your private home. Technically, the league owns the copyright over the video of its game (and the name); not a copyright of the game itself. Copyright law grants the league a right over "public performances" of the work. Performing a work includes transmitting it over the air. So when you watch the "team that represents someone whole loves their country" vs "the birds of prey" on Sunday night, you are "performing" the copyrighted works.

The copyright law is only enforced when performed publicly. Private performances, such as those in your own home, are not bound to the same rules of the Copyright Act.

Maybe. According to the Copyright Act, Section 110(5) allows bars and restaurants, among other public venues, to display a television broadcast on a single, ordinary television set. Section 110(5)(A) states,

Well, we can look at a courtcase involving the league and a lawsuit against several bars, restaurants, clubs, and other public venues and the illegal use of their audiovisual equipment. The venues were using equipment such as large antennas with multiple VHFs and amplifiers among other AV pieces to receive and broadcast blacked out games, specifically the "burnt sienna colored team" from Cleveland.

The court decided that although the unusually large and expensive AV equipment being used by these public venues was technically available for use in a private home, it was not commonly used in a private setting. In fact, a comprehensive survey was taken of the surrounding neighborhoods of these Cleveland restaurants and bars and found that the equipment being used by these locations was within the 90th percentile of the local AV market at the time. The court deemed that this equipment was not what was commonly used within a home.

So if we use the National Football League v. Rondor, Inc., 840 F. Supp. 1160 (N.D. Ohio 1993) case as mentioned above, although the audiovisual materials being used were available to purchase by anyone, it would be considered unusual for the average patron in a private establishment because most of the AV equipment was being used by 10% or less of the surrounding community. According to the court case, top-end equipment is considered to be unusual for a private home to commonly use. So what can a bar or restaurant use? Specifically, what size TV can a public establishment purchase or use for performances? According to a 2015 graph from Statista.com, in 2010, a 50-inch TV would have been considered uncommon. And in a 2014 article, TVs 65-inches or bigger accounted for only 2% of sets sold. Although larger size TVs, such as 60, 70, and 80-inch, are becoming more popular in the market demand today. So in today"s market, a 60-inch screen maybe be in the safe margin of TV sizes.

With the Colts and Saints set to do battle in Super Bowl XLIV, this seemed worth looking into as a public service. Could it be that some of those giant flat panel TV sets now finding their way into US living rooms are actually violating copyright law?

US Code Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 110 is called "Limitations on exclusive rights: exemption of certain performances and displays," and it lays out 12 of these exemptions to copyright restrictions. Are 55+ inch TVs mentioned specifically? They certainly are.

TV broadcasts and movie showings can only be displayed so long as "no such audiovisual device has a diagonal screen size greater than 55 inches, and any audio portion of the performance or display is communicated by means of a total of not more than 6 loudspeakers." So there it is in black and white—a ban on big TVs!

Sort of. While my friend was right about what"s contained in the law, it"s important to put the words in context. In this case, the context is exemption number five, which deals with TVs. The exemption opens by saying that turning on a TV set in one"s house does not incur any sort of "public performance" liability under copyright law. So long as you"re using a set that can reasonably be described as "a single receiving apparatus of a kind commonly used in private homes," you"re in the clear. Advertisement

(Okay, not completely. You cannot make a "direct charge" to "see or hear the transmission," though you can apparently ask friends to cover the cost of food and drink. You also cannot further transmit the broadcast "to the public," so diverting a live video stream onto the Internet and streaming it to the world is right out. Otherwise, you"re fine.)

The rest of exemption five lays out a host of limitations to the exemption (yes, it"s a bit confusing), but they all apply to "an establishment"—a public gathering place, not a home. The rules get remarkably specific, apply differently to small and large venues, and come with restrictions on how many TVs or radios can be used in a place of business without running into trouble.

The "55 inch" language applies to large establishments of more than a few thousand square feet. Such places can show the big game on a TV set, but only if they don"t use "more than 4 audiovisual devices, of which not more than 1 audiovisual device is located in any 1 room, and no such audiovisual device has a diagonal screen size greater than 55 inches, and any audio portion of the performance or display is communicated by means of a total of not more than 6 loudspeakers, of which not more than 4 loudspeakers are located in any 1 room or adjoining outdoor space."

Translation: if you want to stick a bunch of TVs in a single public room (like a sports bar) or put up massive 80 inch panels in your fraternal organization, you"ll need to negotiate some sort of arrangement with the copyright holder. Advertisement

Finally, don’t get lulled into a false sense of security. Even if everyone has been fully vaccinated, it can take a week or two after the second shot to build peak protection. And while vaccinated people are less likely to get severe Covid-19, experts don’t yet know if they can still spread the virus to others, said Dr. Asaf Bitton, a primary care physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital who specializes in public health.

First-time Super Bowl advertiser 84 Lumber pulled a vintage ad stunt when the company went public with claims that Fox rejected its original ad because it was too "controversial."

"We wanted to test ourselves," Evans said. "We thought we would have to do it in a new and nontraditional way to really show the U.S. public that we"re back in the game."

By Newton’s logic many of his teammates are losers for not being as public with their disgust. Josh Norman. Greg Olsen. Every Panther who didn’t sulk or storm off. Are we to assume that they don’t care? That the loss didn’t impact them the same way the loss effected Newton?

The answer to this question lies in Section 110 of the Copyright law – entitled “Limitations on exclusive rights: exemption of certain performances and displays.” Within that section, there are a number of copyright restrictions related to big screen televisions and projector screens. There are also several exemptions to those restrictions.  So essentially, as long as you are watching the game in your private home and are not charging admission, you can have a giant one-bazillion inch television or projector and cram your house full of people like a clown car and not worry about it. Just be sure not to use the outside of your house as the projector screen or otherwise make it visible outside of your home so it does not become a public viewing.

In other cases, the law states that TV and digital broadcasts can be displayed in certain cases as long as there is no separate admission charge to view the game, and so long as the  TVs device displaying the broadcast does not have “a diagonal screen size greater than 55 inches, and any audio portion of the performance or display is communicated by means of a total of not more than 6 loudspeakers.”

– if the performance or display is by audiovisual means, any visual portion of the performance or display is communicated by means of a total of not more than 4 audiovisual devices, of which not more than 1 audiovisual device is located in any 1 room, and no such audiovisual device has a diagonal screen size greater than 55 inches, and any audio portion of the performance or display is communicated by means of a total of not more than 6 loudspeakers, of which not more than 4 loudspeakers are located in any 1 room or adjoining outdoor space.

–  if the performance or display is by audiovisual means, any visual portion of the performance or display is communicated by means of a total of not more than 4 audiovisual devices, of which not more than one audiovisual device is located in any 1 room, and no such audiovisual device has a diagonal screen size greater than 55 inches, and any audio portion of the performance or display is communicated by means of a total of not more than 6 loudspeakers, of which not more than 4 loudspeakers are located in any 1 room or adjoining outdoor space;
