Critical Evaluation of Sam's Submission on Copyright Infringement
Sam’s submission regarding the potential success of a copyright infringement action
brought by Mel’s children against Rick for his book of cartoons offers a structured analysis
of the case. However, while the answer provides some accurate insights, it also contains
several issues that need to be addressed to provide a more comprehensive and relevant
legal analysis.
Positive Aspects of the Submission
Firstly, Sam’s submission correctly identifies the general principle that, in employment
scenarios, the copyright to works created by an employee during the course of their
employment typically belongs to the employer, in this case, XYZ Broadcasting
Corporation. This is an important aspect of copyright law and is correctly highlighted as a
fundamental point in determining whether Mel’s children have the standing to bring a
lawsuit.
Additionally, the submission correctly addresses the issue of infringement by noting that
the analysis would require a comparison of the characters in Rick’s book to the original
characters created by Mel. The suggestion that the nature of Rick’s use might constitute
a transformative work or parody is also valid, as these are recognized defenses in
copyright law under certain circumstances.
