Copyright attorney here! Tweets - especially the old tweets that restricted you to 140 characters - are pretty much categorically too short to cross the "minimum degree of creativity" threshold required by Feist v. Rural. The new longer tweets are a hard maybe but the old ones are pretty much always no
It might not be as fascinating as I remember, but I was super curious about Kylie Jenner trying to trademark the name Kylie and Kylie Minogue being like "Um ... No."
@loveutill theendoftimes that's a great question! I honestly didn't totally understand it. It did seem to me to be for her makeup and apparel and stuff, but I could be wrong. It was inevitably rejected after Minogue fought it.
Okay, so it wasn't the best thing, but she did have a small point. I work at a nursing home, and frequently have to go take food to residents and workers (if I can't get them through paging them). *However,* and this is my major point, since most of the time the food is already paid for, they leave the food up front to be either taken back or to be picked up. In that setting, the food would have a room number on the receipt (I also worked drive through before working at the nursing home). If it only said to leave it up front, you *leave it up front.* There's really no if, and, or but with this. I have no earthly idea this women thought it was a good idea to drive away with the food. There would be detections to how to handle the delivery. The only reason *I* have to take food back is because of COVID and our company regulations. Hotels are completely different because you can go up to the doors.
@@eryuu4016 Lizzo definitely had a point, but the horrible thing imo is that she shared a photo of the driver and most of her name. that largely contributed to the death threats the driver received. lizzo could have just called out postmates instead and handled it privately, but sending an angry mob after a civilian is nasty
@@eryuu4016 to be honest Postmates is pretty good about contacting the drivers if you go through customer service so I would have just called them if I were lizzo
If you take more than 10 minutes to respond to your postmates driver you are costing them time and making it hard for them to make a livable wage that hour. The audacity in trying to ruin someones life because you didn’t get your lunch.
Omg thank you I was actually terrified for when lawyers started finding my channel cuz I know I’m not an expert in everything and lawyers can be mean so I thought y’all would hate me lollll
@@mattjust4450 I don't have a huge issue with him but I think he (and most other TH-cam lawyers) tries too hard to use his status as a lawyer to bolster his credibility, when the majority of his videos are more mainstream topics that don't cover much legal nuance. He basically just blasts a lot of complex-sounding but very basic concepts to sound smart to a non-lawyer. This channel, on the other hand, thinks about issues in the way that a real lawyer would and explains legal concepts in a balanced and unassuming way. My test is basically "if I heard a lawyer giving this explanation to a non-lawyer in real life, would I roll my eyes?" 🤣
@@LeejaMiller you may not be an expert in everything, etc. however, you explain things extremely well, very relatable & give great content! Would love your take on Depp & Heard.
This one might be a little too heavy/depressing, but if you could dissect Kesha vs Dr Luke, I think that would be an interesting video that is in line with the channel. And one I’d like to see
More like the lady who found the finger in chilli. SHE TOOK AWFUL LEGAL ADVICE & RAN W IT! Her and Chris brown lawyer neverrr thought the case would hold up- they thought Luke would buckle (her PR campaign) . It’s was never about sexual assault it was about a contract.
I have been a fan of Lizzo but I didn't know about what she did to that delivery driver. That is so sloppy and agro. Delivery drivers have the right to cancel an order if they wait a certain period of time for the customer to arrive.
The postmates thing really just shows how impactful social media can be. In an instant, someone with a huge following can ruin someone else’s life just over a misunderstanding.
I like celebrity lawsuits bc they make studying easier lol. I would love to know more about Lisa Vanderpump lawsuits! I think they are mostly regarding employment law which I find fascinating
Just found your channel and love it! I would love for you to do a similar video about Taylor Swift. There’s a whoooole bunch you could cover. 1. The sexual assault/defamation trial where she countersued her accuser for $1 2. The whole deal with owning her masters, that could be its own video probably 3. Being sued over her most recent album titles, folklore and evermore. I think both settled out of court but I’d be interested to hear your take. 4. Annnd you touched on this a bit here with the celebrities having fans who are willing to fight on their behalf.Taylor has been scrutinized a couple of times for this (in the record label deal and more recently in regards to a joke made in the Ginny and Georgia Netflix series). I’d love to hear your thoughts on the legal side of things and your thoughts on the morality/responsibility that celebrities have in these scenarios.
... I'm gonna say this... As a producer myself I ALWAAAAAAAAYS urge the person I'm working with to sign something saying that anything produced, written by or co-produced by me is MY property or is credited to me... Hence why outside of remixes none of my music has a featured artist because no one wants to sign anything.... Unfortunately this is a very common problem. People think that when you work with them that it's FOR them and it is not. Please fellow producers out there PROTECT YOUR WORK you earned it.
Love the idea of making music artist copywrite lawsuits a series! I'm putting in my request for you to do Paramore's lawsuits -- my favorite band -- particularly the one covering Jeremy. He is a former band member who sued Paramore/Hayley for writing credits on their grammy-award winning song, Ain't It Fun, which is a huge reason he left the band I believe. The paramore fandom would salivate if you could uncover some details about the settlement.
CeCe Penniston recently did an interview with VladTV in which she got credit for the ad libs on "Juice" . I imagine there was a lawsuit, and it never dawned on me that the adlibs were the same as (or similar to) "Finally".
Hey… I have a question about the legalities between making a movie about someone in the public eye versus making one about someone who isn’t. I was on a television show for 8yrs, but my husband has never been in the public eye. Could someone legally make a documentary/film about me without my consent? If so, could it feature my husband without his? I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! In 2019 my home caught fire and the ceiling collapsed on me and while I was trying to save our dog and cat. I suffered 3rd degree burns all over my body, and through the recovery process I’ve found myself in some pretty dark places. Your channel helps me pull myself out of those places so much. THANK YOU!!! - Beau
I'm a performer and these are so educational. Your videos are fantastic. I feel like they should be required watching in any school for performing arts. Thank you!!
Honestly, the truth hurts/healthy thing makes me feel a little less respect for lizzo. Because it basically sounds like you can sucker people into writing a song with you and promise them royalties off of it, then just tweak it and change the title and bam, it's a "derivative work" and now you get nothing.
This was just randomly recommended to me, love how clearly you explain things! I was wondering if you could analyse why it took so long for Bey to be able to protect her daughter’s own name?
Could you look into Cardi b’s lawsuits? I thinks she’s had a couple about her lyrics too. When Up came out there was another rapper that said it was his song. I saw a music video compared to her and oohhhhhh it’s almost exactly the same. I’m not sure if that rapper ever sued her or not though.
So glad I’ve found your channel (it would seem YT gods have blessed it with some more exposure in the new year, congratulations!), I’m not even from the US, yet you explain your laws in such a way that it’s interesting to someone who it doesn’t concern in any direct way. Wish someone would explain the laws of my country like this haha. Wishing you all the best
I love this channel! This is by far the most interesting, entertaining and informative channel I’ve found on the Tube that (in my opinion) feeds the brains development .
Very interested in this being a series! I know of a lawsuit that happened between Clive Tanaka and Nicki Minaj for a song that the former claimed she ripped off in her song ‘Starships’. I haven’t done very much research on it and idk if a lot of info is even out there about it but I think it could be interesting!
I absolutely would love for you to continue to put out content that you love doing! You are someone that I really admire and hope to be like someday. I am currently struggling with drug addiction and mental health and once I battle this storm I cannot wait to start school for law. Thank you for being you and putting put great content on your channel!!!
actually, as a professional songwriter: we make a split sheet and agree upon it before a session, who contributes what is calculated and given a percentage value - all contributors are compensated accordingly. just to demystify, SUCCESSFUL musicians are business savvy and need to be, for the reason of the video you beautifully put together so kudos. the ones who aren't business savvy are either benefactors of nepotism or will be quickly destitute.
I have been wanting to ask her to explain what happened with Johnny as well, as the Amber Heard drama is so confusing to me with the evidence vs backlash???
@Nothing To See Here Disguted by what ? except his abusive ex wife, with records, hitting on him and ruining his career with false claims and getting away with it ?
Do one on how Bruno Mars cant come up with any of his own music! Pretty sure Beyonce has also had some suits for copycatting (check the comparisons of the choreography in the countdown video and choreographer anna teresa de keersmakers work)
Sorry, I’m only at the first case and I believe you’re wrong about it for the following reasons: 1. Minah is a singer. An unknown singer but a singer nonetheless. And if she tweeted original song lyrics in past, that would help her case further. 2. If I recall correctly, Minah is a woc. That would’ve very tricky for Lizzo’s image - “stealing from a woc and not giving credit”. 3. It is accepted that Minah is the originator of that particular phrase. 4. Lizzo publicly admitted to being inspired by a meme and claimed she would give credit to whoever created that meme. 5. All memes with that phrase are based on Minah’s tweet whether or not the meme creator is aware of this fact. It makes perfect sense Lizzo cut her losses and gave writing credits, saving herself time, money and her reputation. Ok back to watching the rest of the video…
Wouldn't the tweet be moot if she were not a woc? Also being a woc herself, why would Mina too being a woc be a problem for the beautiful Angel earth baby aka Lizzo?
@@marleneg7794 ??? Erm what a weird low key racist thing to say. Why would the tweet be moot if Minah was not a woc? If she was a unknown white *singer*, she would still stand a very good chance in court, although going by today’s climate, she wouldn’t have enjoyed as much public support. Stealing from another woc is not a good look, and Lizzo would not be able to stop the media and the public from dragging her. She made a good decision to settle.
I didn’t know about any of this and it’s really fascinating. Also I love your content and your style in general ❤ Could you please make a video on the new allegations against Lizzo? I’m a huge fan of her music and the new stuff that’s recently came out are breaking my big gurl heart 😢
Got recommended your uhnnn video and watched loads since. Cheers for keeping me entertained whilst I’m out of action with covid. Only thing I wanted to say about this one specifically is normally I tend to think people who sue celebs are just out for the money (whether it has legal merit or not that’s their motivation. But the post mates woman seemed to have a genuine grievance. That tweet seemed kinda out of line
I absolutely love your content! I'd love to see you look at the legal battle between Kylie Minogue and Kylie Jenner when Jenner tried to copyright her own name!
Look into the H3 Ryan kavanaugh (ongoing) and Matt hoss (previous landmark fair use case) lawsuits. Please and thank you. Much love, you’re fabulous 💚🖤
As a dancer! This first conflict is something that goes around a lot in the community. How ideas cannot be copywritten! SO MUCH "plagiarism" of dance moves or concepts happen cuz sometimes there's no way to say who originated it. MANY BIPOC peoples are originators of dances and their work is not recorded cuz, ya know colonialism and the importance of oral traditions in non white cultures. But beside BIPOC erasure in dance.... There is an interesting thing going on (maybe Leeja, you'd be interested in talking about). There is that Beyonce choreographer who has stolen work from Fosse and Nicholas Brothers, but just this year wanted to start their own company to copywrite choreography!!! Finding out all the folks he "borrowed" from and is now try to say he did not could take a lot of searching, but Fosse and Nicholas Brothers are two HUGE ones that I'm surprised he had the gull to say he created those steps.....Like, "Honey those videos are from the 30s and you're in your 30s, something is not right there, dude!" Could be fun research or could be dull cuz it's so obvious lolz. Love your vids Leeja!
first time viewer, love your sass, but like, you derlining Lizzo's sun sign... you gotta drop your big three now bestie ☆ the people deserves to know ☉
Any chance you could dissect the johnny depp vs. amber heard/the sun case? twitter keeps trying to raise hell for depp but everyone on there seems to be ignoring the "substantially true" part of the ruling
Omg yes! Can you do one on the clermont twins, they were on bad girls club reaity they show. They had their personal belongings destroyed and sued for allot of money.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 My legal first name is Mina (and bot that common to my knowledge). We say it /my-nuh/ in my family. ☺️ I don’t know how she pronounces her name. 🤪
Ya know, this makes the fact that Taylor Swift records her songwriting sessions seem all the sudden really damn business savvy haha

Finding out all the folks he "borrowed" from and is now try to say he did not could take a lot of searching, but Fosse and Nicholas Brothers are two HUGE ones that I'm surprised he had the gull to say he created those steps.....Like, "Honey those videos are from the 30s and you're in your 30s, something is not right there, dude!" Could be fun research or could be dull cuz it's so obvious lolz. Love your vids Leeja!

What's funny is how people sue for lyrics... Those lyrics aren't gonna me you famous... You're still not being searched for on Spotify either way...
I’d like you do continue todo music Industry people - musicians, producers, etc.
Any chance you could dissect the johnny depp vs. amber heard/the sun case? twitter keeps trying to raise hell for depp but everyone on there seems to be ignoring the "substantially true" part of the ruling
You should be on TV , so entertaining.
