Look, I don't just complain about problems with the courts, I offer solutions!

You got to give it up for Williams v. Gaye, the case that really blurred the lines for music copyright lawsuits.
But can you really copyright a musical style or "groove"?

Ever notice how lawyer bios tout their wins but don't say anything about their losses?

One peril of writing parody is people forget the thing you were making fun of in the first place.
I fear that's the case here, but still, see if you think it's funny.
If not, hey, ya gotta hand it to me, at least I'm committed to the bit.

Here's a fun Contracts final exam question.
Employer sues former Employee for violating a non-compete, offering a copy of an Agreement it says was electronically signed by Employee.
Employee testifies "I never signed that."
Is there a contract?
