inderella is a folk tale more than 300 years old. There have been many published versions of the story over the centuries as well as many animated and live-action films, most famously by Disney in 1950. A small book-publishing company publishes a short version of the basic story with additional commentary by an English professor. The publisher registered its new edition for copyright protection in 1998. Amazon Prime also produced a live-action version of the story in 2021 starring Camilla Cabello.

The marketing firm also created a 30-second TV commercial that features the model wearing a costume and dancing the same choreography as Camilla Cabello in the filmexcept that at the end of the commercial, the fictional set morphs into the interior of the local shoe store.

The book publisher sues for copyright infringement of their book. The film studio sues for copyright infringement of the character, the costume, and the dancing scene. Discuss each lawsuit, explaining whether it is likely to succeed and whether the marketing firm has a de minimus or fair use defense. Make sure you refer to the cases discussed in the lesson.
