「洩氣籃球牆」惹議！Tyrell Winston 控告 New Orleans Pelicans 涉嫌作品侵權
七月三十日，藝術家Tyrell Winston正式對紐奧良鵜鶘隊（New Orleans Pelicans）提出訴訟，指控球隊侵犯其經典標誌性「洩氣籃球牆 Deflated Basketball Wall」雕塑作品的版權。 這場官司的焦點在於球隊去年發布於 Instagram 帳號上的一系列照片。Tyrell Winston 在向美國密西根州東區地方法院提交的訴狀中，指出這些照片中的背景陳設，是一個由 5×5 排列的消氣籃球所組成的白色牆面，這與他的個人作品《Manhattanhenge》和《R.O.I.》構成「蓄意」且「完全相同」的複製。據悉，這兩件作品已於 2025 年 7 月 18 日在美國著作權辦公室完成註冊。 Tyrell Winston 的作品以蒐集來自世界各地的扁平籃球所創作的裝置藝術而聞名，這些作品不僅在各大知名畫廊與博物館展出，他也曾與 Nike 和 adidas 等品牌進行授權合作。 Tyrell Winston 的籃球藝術作品近年來引起了 NBA 圈內的不少關注，更曾讓他受邀參加 2024 年印第安納波利斯的全明星週末。為了進一步強化自身在「影響力與文化正當性」方面的論點，Winston 在訴狀中也提及他曾與克里夫蘭騎士隊（Cleveland Cavaliers）簽訂合約，以及底特律活塞隊（Detroit Pistons）老闆 Tom Gores 亦曾購入並展示他的作品。 目前，Winston 正尋求陪審團審判，並針對其個人聲譽與作品市場受到的「損害」要求金錢賠償。Winston 的律師團隊在去年十月曾向球隊發出禁制令通知，但據稱遭到忽視。紐奧良鵜鶘隊則預計在未來幾週內對這項訴訟做出回應，並提出駁回動議。 有興趣的讀者們敬請留意未來追蹤報導。 相關報導 >NOT A HOTEL 攜手 NIGO、Pharrell Williams 推出最新日本文化園區：JAPA VALLEY TOKYO >LEGO 推出經典電影《瓦力 WALL-E》全新積木套裝 >直擊 Ja Morant 首趟中國行！ Nike 世界巡迴「Make Them Watch」之旅深圳站回顧

Surfing dogs dodge big waves before huge crowd at Pacifica's world championships
Iza leaned down into her board, slicing through the surf at Linda Mar Beach, the cheers from spectators filling the air. Moments before running aground, she leaped off the board and gave a shake. World Dog Surfing Championships with their humans. Dogs surfed alone and in tandem with their humans, in roiling waves that one human compared to a washing machine. Thousands of spectators filled the beach, braving fog and 55-degree air, many bringing their own dogs. They chatted with competitors, posed for photos with the surf dogs and dodged waves as they vied for the best spots to watch the action. 'I'm really enjoying it,' she said, taking a sip from her Baja Blast margarita to ward off the damp chill. 'The waves are bigger, and the dogs are hitting them harder, bless their little hearts.' Competitors ranged from Petey, a 6-year-old West Highland white terrier, to Cacau, a chocolate Labrador and the 2024 grand champion of the surf competition. This year's competition was foggy and cold, with messy chop that made wave-riding more challenging, several competitors said. Several surfers swam their dogs far out into the surf to find better waves, their pooches confidently perched on their boards as they sped through waves that reached 4 or 5 feet tall. 'It's a pleasure to be surfing with my best friend,' said Cacau's owner, Ivan Moreira, a former professional surfer who'd flown to California from his home in Rio de Janeiro for the event. Moreira had started training Cacau when the pup was just 3 months old, bringing her on a 12-foot paddleboard with Bono, another dog he owned, until she got used to being out in the waves. Also among the competitors was Faith, a 14-year-old pit bull. Faith, one of the oldest competitors, was attending her seventh Pacifica surf dog championships. Her owner, James Wall, found her abandoned in a parking garage around 2012, scared and dirty. Wall had never owned a pit bull but fell in love with her immediately. When he took her to a beach near their home in Santa Cruz, he saw other beachgoers training their dogs to surf. 'I thought, 'Hey, that would be cool. Let's see what we can do.'' Faith jumped right onto the board. They started in waist deep water, sending her to the shore on gentle rollers. Soon, anytime she saw him doing anything beach related, she started 'whimpering, whining, getting excited,' Wall said. Along the way, Faith became a social media celebrity, with thousands of Instagram followers, and even appeared on 'Good Morning America.' What delighted Wall the most, he said, was the bond he developed with Faith and the joy watching her change from a scared puppy abandoned in a garage to a 'happy-go-lucky' dog with a zest for life. 'This changed the world for her,' he said. This year's competition was bittersweet, he said, because it would be Faith's last. She was recently diagnosed with vestibular syndrome, which can make it hard for dogs to balance, and Wall wanted to end her surfing career while she was still happy and strong. On Saturday, Faith placed first in the large division and third overall. 'I'm sad knowing it's the end, but extremely happy with how she did,' he said as fans oohed and ahhed over Faith. 'She went out like a champ, and she got the last hurrah we were hoping for.' Iza, the French bulldog, competed in the Pacifica championship for the fourth time, said her owner, David Fasoli. Iza is an unlikely surfer, Fasoli said. He adopted the Frenchie during the COVID-19 pandemic. With little to do, he frequently took her to the beach. She loved running in and out of the waves, and later, while boating, he watched as a friend's daughter took the pup tubing. Fasoli, who works at Costco, decided to see how she'd take to surfing. He bought a surfboard and gradually taught Iza to get comfortable riding it in his pool, then returned to the beach, bringing Iza out into the surf, holding the board until a wave caught it. Soon, Iza was riding small waves into shore. 'To see this 1-year old French bulldog piece it all together, take a little wave in, run to shore, turn around and come back and want to continue to learn … it was a magical moment,' he said. 'I was super proud.' On Saturday, Iza won the medium division and competed for a shot at the top prize. For Fasoli, watching his little Frenchie compete alongside veterans such as Cacau and Faith felt particularly poignant. Here was a French bulldog, the unlikeliest of surfers, defying the odds. Fasoli has spent his life defying his own odds. As a teenager, he maimed his left hand while trying to set off fireworks. It took Fasoli years to overcome the trauma of that incident, he said, but he found inspiration from watching Iza's evolution. Recently, he decided it was his turn to try to get on the board. 'Anyone out there who thinks they can't surf, here's a nonsporting dog, and a disabled person, showing you you can do it,' he said. 'My balance is not the best, and I'm not the best surfer, and Iza is not your typical surfer dog, we're just doing our best.'

NBCUniversal considering to launch a sports cable network, WSJ reports
(Reuters) -Comcast's NBCUniversal is considering launching a sports cable network that would feature content also on its Peacock platform, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. The potential channel, which would be offered in specialized packages, could debut as early as the fall, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. According to the report, the proposed channel would primarily feature sports that are also streamed on NBCUniversal's Peacock streaming platform. The network would be offered to cable and satellite providers as part of specialty channel packages, the report added. Talks remain at an early stage and a final decision regarding the launch of the network has not yet been made, WSJ said. NBCUniversal declined to comment on the report. The news stands in stark contrast to the broader challenges of the industry, as traditional television continues to lose ground to the rise of on-demand content and the growing trend of cord-cutting. However, live sports remain a bright spot, thriving even as other segments struggle. Meanwhile, NBCU is moving forward with plans to spin off most of its cable networks into a new company, signaling a significant shift in its media strategy.
