Meg Murry Should Be Granted Summary Judgment

I agree with court’s decision to dismiss Ms. Marder’s grievance against Paramount. Ms. Marder made a contract with Paramount and sold away the rights to her story. The contract between Ms.Marder and Paramount was legal and binding; the courts could not favor her. Paramount became the legal own of Ms. Marder’s story at the time of its purchase; the price they paid for her story, although quite small, was the amount she had agreed to.

The case McCulloch v. Maryland was one that began in the state of Maryland, and eventually was decided upon at the national level, via the Supreme Court, in 1819. It would assert national supremacy over that of state action in areas where the constitution granted forms of authority.

In the supreme court Muehler v. Mena case, Mena sued the officers in federal district court for violating her 4th amendments rights. The fourth amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. The officers heard that there was that she was affiliated with gang violence and deadly weapons so they searched the house that Mena and others were in. The officers did things like handcuff Mena and the others. They also questioned her about her immigration status. She believed this violated her 4th amendment rights that should protect her from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. Mena tried suing the officers in federal district court for violating her Fourth Amendment rights after this. She felt

The motion for partial summary for the plaintiff was denied by the court and the objection was overruled without prejudice to raise the issue for consideration at trial.

1. In 1819, McCulloch v. Maryland was a landmark decision deciding that the State of Maryland at the time cannot hinder federal banks by forcing a tax on banks not chartered by Maryland. At the time of 1810, banks were collapsing due to an economic downfall of the war of 1812. The banks that survived that were licensed by the States lacked a lot of recognition and trust to move forward after the war to make an economic push. Then in 1816, Congress granted a charter to the Second Bank of the United States and also provided one-fifth of the nation’s capital of $35 million.

McCulloch v. Maryland case goes back to the 1800s when the State of Maryland, being unhappy with the rising power of the Bank of the United States, enacted a statute imposing a tax on all banks operating in Maryland not chartered by the state. The State of Maryland sued James McCulloch, the cashier of the bank of the Baltimore branch, for issuing bank notes without obeying to the state’s law and for failing to pay the taxes to the state. The main issues that were raised during the case were: whether or not the Congress had the power to create a bank under the Constitution and whether or not the State of Maryland had the power to impose taxes on a federal bank which was created with authorized powers under the Constitution. The case was

It is an undeniable fact that children from poor families often start school far behind their high income peers, as shown by the chart from "Troubled Schools on Trial". Judge Thomas Moukawsher urged changes to Connecticut's educational policies that can only be enacted by the General Assembly. One could argue that Judge Moukawsher overstepped his boundaries as a judge in his decision, but that doesn't mean it should be automatically overturned. A legislative approach is always preferable to a judicial decision in lawmaking. However, both legislators and judges should be focused on their constitutional duty to provide adequate educational opportunities to all students, which means closing funding disparities between wealthy and poor districts,

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.

An infringement does not require the entirety of the owners work; it can also include a substantial part of the

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).

In the Case study assignment I am going to talk about the case BENAY v. WARNER BROS ENTERTAINMENT INC. this case deals with the two brothers Aaron and Matthew Benay suing Warner Brothers Entertainment, Inc., Radar Pictures Inc, Bedford Falls Productions Inc, Edward Zwick, Marshall Herskovitz, and John Logan over the coping of the screenplay The Last Samurai. The brothers wrote a screenplay in the late 1990’s and had it copyrighted in 2001. The screenplay was then “pitched” by phone to the president of the company that produced the film The last Samurai, which is also the same name of the screenplay by the Benays, Bedford Falls in 2000. It was informed to the Benays’ agent that Bedford Falls, “had decided to ‘pass’ becasuse it already had a similar project in development. (Benay, pg. 1)” This led to the Benays claiming that important
