Vision has recently discovered that one of its advertising commercials has been posted on YouTube without its authority or permission. Vision has sent YouTube a notice identifying its rights and demanding that YouTube remove the commercial. Vision uses a software program (designed by a third party) to provide continued training to its staff. Vision licensed the program by a “shrink-wrap license.” Vision would like to make multiple copies of the program and send them to its various hotels throughout the nation. Vision would also like to circumvent various copy protection measures built into the software program. Finally, Vision has discovered that in order to increase competition and motivation, employees of its competitors have been furnished cell phones that play several bars of Vision’s well-known “theme song.” Vision has not authorized this use.
