Intellectual Property in Business and Society

Tuesday, September 12, 2006

As you begin to explore derivative works and fair use, here are two examples we'll discuss in class:

* "The Path to 9/11" and "Dark Skies" -- an "homage" or a ripoff of TV miniseries advertising?

* "Chad Vader: Day Shift Manager" -- a hilarious, unauthorized video series starring Darth's alleged brother, who manages a supermarket using The Force.

Also, if you're looking to dig into the federal copyright law a little deeper, you can find the relevant chunk of the Constitution here, and the entire Copyright Act here. Peruse the website of the Copyright Office also.
