Weird Al Yankovic, in coordination with JibJab, wrote and sang a parody of that song called "Do I Creep you out?" JibJab posts the song along with a music video on its site.

On the page on which the parody is posted, JibJab writes "Weird Al Yankovic stars as American Idol's Taylor Hicks in this hilarious parody."

Assume, for the sake of this assignment, that Taylor Hicks was not consulted about this Weird Al/ JibJab production and did not consent to it.

Also, assume that Hicks sues Yankovic and JibJab for:

1) Invasion of Privacy for Misappropriation of name for commercial purposes; and

2) Copyright Infringement

Analyze whether either or both of these causes of action would succeed. Include, in your analysis, what defenses the defendants should raise and your assessment of whether they would work.
