1. 20 years later, Senator Sirius is now President of the United States and First Lady Sally Sirius is offered a multi-million book deal. DoLittle is now the esteemed editor of the Washington Post. Sally's book includes photocopies of private love letters that DoLittle wrote to her while a lowly speech writer for then-Senator Sirius during their decades-long affair from the 1970's-1985. The publisher of Sally's book, Salacious Publications Inc., knows that DoLittle has not given permission to publish these letters. The love letters are spicy, scandalous, and cause much embarrassment for DoLittle and political instability for President Sirius. DoLittle feels especially betrayed because these letters were intended to be private and have never been shared. DoLittle has obviously never registered the letters with the U.S. Copyright Office and the letters do not have any copyright notice.

DoesSally need DoLittle's permission to publish the letters?

If yes, does Sally have a fair use defense for the publication of these love letters?

AssumingSally does not have a fair use defense, can DoLittle bring a lawsuit for copyright infringement of his letters and could he obtain an injunction to enjoin the publication of this book?

Whatkinds of claims could Do Little bring against Salacious Publications Inc.?
