You asked him to take it down, and I took it down. It was clicked on 154 times. The judge should throw this out immediately. What a complete waste of time. You can tell that the plaintiffs are retired, and have nothing better to do.
They aren't even her stories. Jeez. She's clearly just trying to plug her book and quite honestly her attitude really puts me off from even considering purchasing it. That could have been free advertising but she got greedy.
I would think this caused some people to be interested and purchase the book. It interested me but seeing the greedy nature of the author totally put me off. I won’t be buying the book. She maybe writing about love but she comes across as mean. I agree with the judge’s ruling.
I feel the exact same way! In the beginning, I was very interested in this book and seeing about her second. By the end-no thanks! The defendant was gracious and apologetic and likable even though they made a mistake. Interesting case.

Unfortunately after seeing the behavior of the author she won’t be receiving my patronage.
@@lukerinderknecht2982 Not at all, I'm reading a non-fiction book right now. Hers in a compilation of stories, not a work that has been researched, experts interviewed and conclusions drawn.
@@ericbedenbaugh7085 she still had to research and wrote the stories into a compelling narrative. You're saying the stories just were floating out there in space or something and she copied and pasted them?
Her book was old and stopped selling years ago. She was after a payday, that's all. The defendants did her a favor and gave her publicity. The plaintiff should pay them.
I don't doubt it. 365 stories about love and weddings; that's a lot of research and I've got a feeling she was scratching the bottom of the barrel halfway through. It's gimmicky book, the kind of coffee table thing you'd find for 75% at Barnes and Noble the day of release.
Copyrighted work is still protected regardless if the work is cited in the use. Fair Use has to be assessed as to whether the use was allowed. I can't post the studio recordings of the White Album by the Beatles on my website even if I cite that it was the Beatles and list the songs. In this analysis the amount used was small enough for the judge to determine it was Fair Use.
She’s definitely a piece of work. She took other peoples lives to make next to nothing. You’re not an author if you document history. You’re an historian, and you don’t own history. She also documented a wedding that didn’t exist, so she’s a loony tune.
At the end she tries to explain how she worked with some of their publishers for permission to use content in her book. Have you ever done that? Lots of work and sometimes not free. Why is it fair that the defendant can simply swipe the same content for their blog to promote their business that only the plaintiff got permission to use? The judge seemed to get irate when the plaintiff started talking about that. You can tell this was new territory for her and didn't like that complicated twist. The judges decision suggested it is legal to use copyrighted material for your business but only if you didn't profit which seems absurd.
@@MagnolyiaGrace The judge is right and this wasn't "new territory"; Fair Use was created in the 70s so she was likely be taught about Fair Use while she was in college so this wasn't her first time hearing about it. Yes, it is legal to use copyrighted material for your business under the fair use doctorine within reason. If someone makes a UA-cam video and includes a 10-second clip from a movie in a review of said movie, then it's protected as fair use. Do you think that everyone that makes a response TikTok to another has to get permission by the original creator or does it fall under fair use? The plantiff shared excerpts from a book, credited the author while writing blogs; that's protected under fair use. Did you get permission from the creator of your lighthouse profile picture?
The author, (very unlikable), should THANK them for mentioning her book on their blog. The writer is so arrogant. She should be grateful for the free exposure. What an ego!
If you ask me the plaintiff should be paying the defendants for a possible increase in sales. There’s a chance that people that view the blog and read those passages will be interested enough to actually go out and buy her otherwise forgotten book!😂
I don’t t think so. she’s upset that someone just took her work and tried to get paid for it. She spent a lot of time and work creating the book in the first place and now someone just took it and is trying to profit off of it. It’s like music. Artists have sued for songs that sound just like their songs all the time.
@@91PHS10 I understand how you feel. But I study the Bible in depth. Desis life was very public, and he was no follower of Jesus Christ. God can not lie: sinners are in hell.
How do want to control all access to other people's stories, that anyone could come across, doing the same research she did? Especially historical figures. She's reaching.
She published the letters and interviews and stuff. None of that is her own intellectual property to begin with in the first place. And she picked some pretty toxic couples.
This old lady was crazy. She was just trying to make some money. Do you know how many times I quoted someone on my papers for school and college? Plus, these are all facts, not fiction. These could be looked up anywhere. There was no case.
There was absolutely no reason to try and make the defendants look bad; she got free advertising for making a compilation of OTHER people’s relationships 🙄 GREEDY
I don't understand "The Plaintiff". Why is she suing anybody ? She didn't write anything. All she did was research and copied the stories of other couples. She's just greedy. You could buy that book for a dollar online. Good Bye Lady. Stop being ridiculous.
This was a very interesting case. I enjoyed it very much. I didn’t know how the whole copying stories onto a blog would even work, especially, since they appropriately sited her.
The thing is they didn’t steal her work because they gave her credit. I wish someone would use some of my book and advertise to their audience The defendant was a real class act. It obviously bothered him that she was hurt by the situation and didn’t try and bash her.
As a Photographer, I understand the argument, as with Facebook, IG, TT and everything else, "fair use" is a thing and at the same time you need to protect your art.. I have many times sent out notes to either the Social Media site or directly to the person or entity to remove posts.. But then many times people ask me if they can post it, and those people I will give limited rights to so they could post something on their own page... It is always best to contact the author, creator or artist for permission.. Many times they will give that.. All that said, I love when this subject comes up on here or other shows..
I hope the Plaintiff asked permission to publish from the people that she's written about with their " love stories" or she, herself, will be taken to court. She's suing for $5000, that's more than that book would ever bring in.
copyright is an important and complex subject. fair use is complicated! you cannot use other people’s intellectual property without permission. You must license their work.
Good, now thanks to the defendants and this show, people now knows about her book, and some may even buy it. She should be glad. They didn't really use her stuff in a damaging way and there were no intent to cause harm, just an honest mistake.
She got immense publicity from both the website and this lawsuit including spruiking her new book.She wasn't interested in getting money from the complainant. Her husband as a lawyer would have been aware they would lose.
That is why as a website owner it is important to have insurance. I have been hit with several of these lawsuits and as much as I wanted to fight the lawsuits the insurance company paid. I was even hit with one for reposting a news article which used the copywritten image in their story. But there are attorneys who have their career based on silly lawsuits like this.
154 hits is absolutely nothing, how she thinks she can get $5000 for that is laughable.
And some of those were probably bots!

She published the letters and interviews and stuff. None of that is her own intellectual property to begin with in the first place. And she picked some pretty toxic couples.
she should be glad someone read that crap!
Right! 😂😂😂
The plaintiffs should have been happy for the free advertising on the defendant’s blog! What a piece of work she is 🙄
Plaintiff got her ego hurt. No damage was done in the totality.
She thinks she knows about fair use better than the judge.
The internet is filled with this practice. Her book is old and she put her info out to the public. She loses.
Ugh, the plaintiff’s attitude has stopped me from even wanting to read the book.
This lady is NUTS! Why does she care? Why does it matter? Does it not give her more attention? This is a KAREN
If I ever see her book at a yard sale, I'm not buying it.
This old lady was crazy. She was just trying to make some money. Do you know how many times I quoted someone on my papers for school and college? Plus, these are all facts, not fiction. These could be looked up anywhere. There was no case.
Refreshing case, this was out if the ordinary 💕
What an absolute Karen.
One of the more substantive episodes…very educational!
A passion project is why she is so upset.
There was absolutely no reason to try and make the defendants look bad; she got free advertising for making a compilation of OTHER people’s relationships 🙄 GREEDY
Someone thinks they are way more important and relevant than they actually are
I don't understand "The Plaintiff". Why is she suing anybody ? She didn't write anything. All she did was research and copied the stories of other couples. She's just greedy. You could buy that book for a dollar online. Good Bye Lady. Stop being ridiculous.
Interesting. I didnt know all these laws. Judge explained it perfectly.
I think it gives her exposure to her book. How many did she sell whenever it was in the peak 50?
12:01 😂😂 did this “CHICK” excuse me Harvey? That’s a little sexist! Lol
This was a very interesting case. I enjoyed it very much. I didn’t know how the whole copying stories onto a blog would even work, especially, since they appropriately sited her.
Ridiculous
🤣🤣🤣 she wants to cry 😆👏🏽
She didn’t like the judge saying 99c lmao
" don't mess with me " strong 💪🏾
That publisher must have been REALLY difficult to get ahold of.
The thing is they didn’t steal her work because they gave her credit. I wish someone would use some of my book and advertise to their audience
The defendant was a real class act. It obviously bothered him that she was hurt by the situation and didn’t try and bash her.
As a Photographer, I understand the argument, as with Facebook, IG, TT and everything else, "fair use" is a thing and at the same time you need to protect your art.. I have many times sent out notes to either the Social Media site or directly to the person or entity to remove posts.. But then many times people ask me if they can post it, and those people I will give limited rights to so they could post something on their own page... It is always best to contact the author, creator or artist for permission.. Many times they will give that..
All that said, I love when this subject comes up on here or other shows..
12:45 😂😂 the lawyer is trying so hard lolol.
I hope the Plaintiff asked permission to publish from the people that she's written about with their " love stories" or she, herself, will be taken to court. She's suing for $5000, that's more than that book would ever bring in.
So it’s not even for sale anymore! She said it’s only available from used book sellers!
This author was a legend in her lunchtime, nothing more, and any exposure she got from a website can only help her.
The thing that works against the author/plaintiff is she did 365 stories, so the use of 7 stories is less than 2% of her content.
I would love if the description of each video included the original air date 🙏
They gave her book so publicity, and they dusted the book off and gave her traction.
She clearly doesn’t understand fair use
copyright is an important and complex subject. fair use is complicated! you cannot use other people’s intellectual property without permission. You must license their work.
Her work wasn't an original, it was other people's stories. If it was about her life she would have won.
Good, now thanks to the defendants and this show, people now knows about her book, and some may even buy it. She should be glad. They didn't really use her stuff in a damaging way and there were no intent to cause harm, just an honest mistake.
Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall 😂
She’d sue everyone in a book club for talking about her book without her permission 😂
Uh oh.
If the book was recent i would be on the plaintiff side, but the thing is decades old and on eBay of £1. Get over yourself love.🙄
She got immense publicity from both the website and this lawsuit including spruiking her new book.She wasn't interested in getting money from the complainant. Her husband as a lawyer would have been aware they would lose.
The book is currently on Amazon!
The episode made me interested in the book to get some young women to read something wholesome. As a gift. Publicity!
JMM is quick wit and smart ❤ her and JJ are my courtroom favs 😊
That is why as a website owner it is important to have insurance. I have been hit with several of these lawsuits and as much as I wanted to fight the lawsuits the insurance company paid. I was even hit with one for reposting a news article which used the copywritten image in their story. But there are attorneys who have their career based on silly lawsuits like this.
