Bavarian Blondes Don’t Need a Visa: A Comparative Law Analysis of Ambush Marketing
Get PDFThis Article describes the problem of ambush marketing: the act of attempting to associatewith an event without buying the rights to do so. From the perspective of the organizers andsponsors, the problem is significant. More than $100 billion is spent annually on purchasingsponsorship rights and the associated promotions. For companies that have not paid for such rightsto be able to imply an association with these high-profile events dilutes the value of that sponsorship.Despite the size of the problem, however (and except for the special coverage many countries affordOlympic activities), there is little legal protection against all but the most blatant marketingencroachment. This Article examines the problems and legal approaches from countries in theEuropean Union, North America, and Oceania, including the United States, Canada, the UnitedKingdom, Germany, and Australia

This article helps fill in the historiographic gap by honing in on a specific political flashpoint in the House over the military budget for 1974. In 1973, a bipartisan coalition of Congress members tried to find a “peace dividend” in the budget by making significant cuts to Pentagon appropriations for the following year. This effort broadly polarized the House into a dovish faction and a hawkish faction, each coalescing around a charismatic leader. The doves followed the lead of Congressman Les Aspin (D-WI), while the pro-war House members rallied around Congressman F. Edward Hébert (D-LA). Government records, the memoirs of many of the legislators involved, and Congressman Hébert’s personal records, a part of Tulane University’s Louisiana Research collection, reveal the budget fight’s important implications concerning the history of the U.S. militarism
