William James, et al. v. Barbara Hunt, et al.

RULE 14.1(a) A. Whether the U.S. Copyright Act and Clause 17 U.S.C. 501, the Copyright Act Clause and the First Amendment of the U.S. Const., Art. 1, Sec. 8, equally provide protection for film use of literary writers’ rights to how music writers’ rights.

1. Whether literary works are protected under the law for “plagiarism” similarly positioned to “snippets or sampling” use of music as to Authors ideas to create a new body of work unfairly not compensating both protected under the Copyright Act for owners’ rights.

2. Whether under federal law does film and music corporations provide to writer’s credits and compensation to both music and film industry equally. The copyright infringement laws under the federal copyright act currently does not protect samples of writer’s works in film as in compared to writers works used in samples of music, yet film and music fall under the same protections, the companies compensate music owners for scoring and soundtracks in films, but not sampled film scripts and manuscripts.

3. Whether major and minor film production studios should properly license literary copyright owners for works of creative ideas or samples that plaigerize Owners’ works protected under the First Amendment, when profiting on two or more predicate acts of the same nature for a pattern of more than ten years by the same company injuring different copyright owners and violating their federally protected intellectual property.
