Search the intenet for a film/movie where there was a legal dispute. I am allowing for a broad range of legal disputes. Some examples of legal disputes may be: dispute over original idea credits or writing credits. You can also write about contact disputes between producers. Please do not write about music copyright in film- we’ve covered that in a different chapter.

1. Tell me the name of the movie and describe the dispute.

2. Was the dispute resolved in court of was it settled out of court?

3. What was the resolution?

4. Do you think that either party could have avoided the legal dispute? How? (Think about what we have learned in the this chapter as well as chapter on contracts to see if you can come up with a way the parties could have avoided their problems.)
