My first story is from the
Hollywood reporter in an article titled “Fox TV can’t escape $28 million defamation lawsuit brought by judge” the story talks about how for is being
sued for defamation by an Illinois judge. Fox did a four-part expose into the
lazy work habits of Illinois judges and made the mistake of actually naming
one, this is the one who is suing the network. My opinion on this is that should
have been smart and just not said the judges’ name. It would have made the
whole thing much less messy and there would be no lawsuit to even speak of.
The second story
I’m posting is from the same website. The article is about a producer-director suing his movie distributor because they allegedly stole money from him. The producer-director,
Bryan Michael Stoller made the movie called First Dog about and orphan boy who
finds the presidents dog. Stoller claims that the distributor of his movie sold
it for less than it was worth and kept all the profits. Stoller claims that he
never got paid for making the movie or giving any of the money the movie profited.
My opinion on this article is that I believe the producer-director Stoller, I
bet the distributor didn’t pay him you hear about these kinds of things
happening all the time and I bet the studio thought this movie was small enough
that they could get away with it.
My final article is also from the
Hollywood reporter. This story is called “Fox’s American Horror Story VS. Zombie Boy legal spat settled”. The article talks about how body art model Rick
Genest sued the hit television show when one of the characters was shown in
body art similar to his. Genest claims that he has his bodywork copy-righted.
The suit has been settled and both parties have agreed not to discuss the terms.
My opinion on this is that I find it ridiculous that Genest can copy right his
tattoos, his tattoos are of a skeleton. I don’t personally understand how
someone can copyright an image as common as a skeleton.
