Copyright Infringment

I used to think Copyright was a bad thing, when really Copyright means, the right to make copies, license, and otherwise exploit a literary, musical, or artistic work, whether printed, audio, video, etc. Therefore, it is only bad when you are being charged for Copyright infringement. In this article Disney & Pixar is being accused of infringement of copyright by releasing a movie called Cars, which is a lot alike these screen plays, written by Jake Mandeville-Anthony, a British writer. In Mandeville-Anthony’s screen plays is a story of 46 animated car characters racing around the world. He is believed that Disney & Pixar is using his ideas to make the movie Cars and Cars 2. The punishment was going to be to stop the release of Cars 2 and have Disney & Pixar pay the copyright infringement fees. It would have been a fair punishment if Disney & Pixar did copy this British writer’s work, but the court stated that they had not. The judge said that the two Car showings had nothing to do with one another therefore, they should not be accused of Copyright Infringment.
