Cariou Vs Prince Case Summary

“We have held that where the works in question are 'so strikingly similar as to preclude the possibility of independent creation, copying may be proved without a showing of access.'" In some cases, the similarities between the plaintiff's and defendant's work are so extensive and striking as, without more, both to justify an inference of copying and to prove improper appropriation. If a plaintiff demonstrates actual copying through proof of a reasonable possibility of access and similarities probative of copying, however, it can prevail on its infringement claim by demonstrating that defendant's work is "substantially similar to that which is original in the plaintiff's expression." With "inexact copies," this assessment proceeds by a comparison of the "total concept and feel of the contested works" as "instructed by common sense.” The court must "analyze the two works closely to figure out in what respects, if any, they are similar, and then determine whether these similarities are due to protected aesthetic expressions original to the allegedly infringed work, or whether the similarity is to something in the original that is free for the taking."

This case was very interesting to many people and led to the release of three books

To what degree are two photos similar enough to have both parties get involved in court? This question is asked frequently in the copyright law world, and is the subject of a case involving Esquire magazine’s cover of famous contemporary boxer Sonny Liston in 1963 and if the 1998 cover of Sports Illustrated with the then-popular boxer Evander Holyfield infringed on Time Inc.’s copyright. At face value the image can be copyrighted, but when dissecting the individual elements of the image apart, what remains is a weak argument to justify copyright protection.

CM spoke to Sergio Paredes, CMO Court Liaison regarding an update on Dre’quan (youth) OOH treatment status. CM informed Mr. Paredes that the Clinical Director at Daytop is still reviewing the referral documents and Daytop have not contacted CM regarding an update on youth’s status yet.

The officers then claimed to their supervisor, a prosecutor and in legal paperwork that the man had threatened another person with the gun, which they observed in his waistband when they arrested him, Vance said.

One would think that as a business person you should be allowed to distribute flyers as advertisements to people, and possible customers or consumers on the streets. Well, in April of 1942 a business man in Florida found himself facing charges for advertising his business using paper flyers. The Supreme Court did not consider whether or not commercial speech deserved First Amendment protection unit the Valentine v. Chrestensen case.(pg. 229) In Valentine v. Chrestensen, “The respondent, a citizen of Florida, owns a former United States Navy submarine which he exhibits for profit. In 1940 he brought it to New York City and moored it at a State pier in the East River. He prepared and printed a handbill advertising the boat and soliciting visitors

Vincent is the younger brother of a dear friend of mine and I attended both undergraduate and law school with him. Vincent will make an outstanding candidate to the Bar of Louisiana due to his high moral character, determination, work ethic and professional aptitude.

MGM also warned of allowing “a copyright owner [to] si[t] still . . . waiting to see what the outcome of an alleged infringer’s investment will be.” Indeed here, Petrella admitted to waiting to file her lawsuit in light of Raging Bull’s questionable profitability. But Justice Ginsburg responded that under §507(b), in practice, “there is nothing untoward” about allowing copyright owners to assess the

Fred Koremasu was arrested by a drug store in San Leandro, California on May 30, 1942. It was nearly six month after the bombing that tool place in Pearl Harbor Hawaii. The government constructed relocation centers for people who they believed were enemy aliens, which ere people who, “were born in Japan or U.S. citizens of Japanese descent. The United States Army developed a plan to distribute 112,000 people they arrested to lhese locations that have been put in the isolated areas of east California, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, and Arkansas. Most of who became aknoledgeded about the order of the military followed the orders. Fred was one of those people who did not follow th eorder and that began one of the most well known Supreme Court cases in the United States of America. The court judged accordingly, “All cases of racial discrimination in the United States would be judged according to strict scrutiny” (201). These recordes of the court can be beneficial, but they can also appear as ineffective evidence as a historical source.

I hope all is well. I have been doing some research about our case with Ann Downer v. Meg Murry. In this case, Ann Downer and Scholastic are claiming copyright infringement of “Hatching Magic” against Meg Murry’s and her book “Magic Hatching”. I feel we have a strong case in representing the defendant Meg Murry in getting summary judgment. Primary authority covering this case would be 17 U.S.C. §§ 101-1101. In order to establish infringement Ms. Downer must demonstrate:

The second approach to copyright is the democratic approach. All works of art are ideas built on a foundation of other ideas. The democratic approach advocates that intellectual property belongs to the society and should be available for the general good of the public. If the particular usage is intended to derive financial benefit or any other business-related benefits, it is considered inappropriate usage. If the utilization of factual work were more usable than the use of someone’s creative work, then that would not be fair use. There is no specified edge to the amount of quoted work that can be called “fair use.” The courts exercise common sense to determine if it was too much. If the utilization of the material created market or stirred a competition, and if the fair use diminishes demand for the original product, it is not considered as appropriate use (Crews, 1993).

Prince worked 68 days at PES (50 through Universal and 18 as a direct hire). Under the worst case scenario, i.e. plaintiff succeeds on all of his claims, the damages for Prince would be approximately $11,000. This includes: $3,360 in Waiting Time Penalties, $2,700 in PAGA Penalties; $2,650 for Missed Meal and Break Penalties; $1,350 for Wage Statement Violations and $750 for unpaid per and post shift work. The bulk of Prince’s claims stems from his allegation that he never received meal or rest breaks while at PES. Conversely, based on our preliminary analysis, the payroll records indicate there are some legitimate violations and under a best case scenario Prince would be able to recover approximately $2,000 for missed meal penalties and the
