    "title": "The Aesthetics of Copyright Adjudication",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The American legal system is unable to continue avoiding the\n \nquestion of art versus non-art. In particular, questions of copyrightability\n \noften hinge on art-status. Yet art is a constantly evolving,\n \nreflexive field in which artists and philosophers continually challenge\n \nthe status quo. Judges would benefit from analyzing claims to artstatus\n \nunder the objectivity provided by well-developed aesthetic\n \ntheories, aided by expert testimony when needed After reviewing\n \nseveral major philosophies of art, this Article proposes a framework\n \nfor adjudicating art-status based on an aesthetic theory known as the\n \nHistorical Definition of Art. Furthermore, to balance copyright law's\n \npurpose of protecting innovation with its need to promote public\n \navailability of copyrighted works, this Article proposes the creation of\n \na new statutory exception to provide a defense for \"utilitarian\n \nadaptations\" of copyrighted three-dimensional works. This statutory\n \ndefense would serve to encourage innovation and stimulate production\n \nof novel goods.",
