What happens if they give you the wrong prescription? Youd have to mail it back again and wait for the new medicine to arrive. With a pharmacy if you get the wrong pills you just drive to the pharmacy and correct it and it'll only take a couple of hours, not so much with Amazon. Meanwhile you die of a heart attack waiting for the correct heart medicine to get to you.

They can add a pharmacy to the many Whole Foods store around the country. They've also started having brick and mortar store, so I'd imagine they'd use that too.

They also have 1 hr delivery in some areas. It's available in my area, it's pretty awesome.

Theres no case in suing the default dance. Epic isn't making money off of Alfonso's dance, its free for everyone to use.

Pretty sure the default dance is Turk's dance from Scrubs.

I hope he loses and has to sped the rest of his money on legal fees. This is just a dick move. They gave a nod to his only shred of relevance and he acts like they stole his meal ticket.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he still does the dance in public for money. And now people think fortnite came up with it.

I don't really think it's about giving a nod to his dance. It's more that they're monetizing it without giving him a piece of the pie.

Yea, but if he's work for hire than anything he produces on set would be owned by the studio because it uses their resources. It'd be the same for catch phrases and stuff like that. Sort of like how in the comic book industry none of the creators actually own anything original they create. Or how any work done on university computers is owned by the university by default.

I'm not sure it's quite the same. Honestly, I don't know. I'm interested to see the result of this.

Would he even own the rights to the dance given that he did it on a show? Usually stuff like that defaults rights to the showrunners.

I believe he has the basic copyright to it since he created it himself. On the script, it only had "Carton dances". Registering it as a copyright is just another level for legality reasons.

His dance was inspired by Courtney Cox in the Bruce Springsteen video and from an Eddie Murphy stand up, but it's enough to be differentiated from those.

The Copyright Act provides in section 102(a)(4) for copyright protection in pantomimes and choreographic works created after January 1, 1978, and fixed in some tangible medium of expression.1 Choreography is the composition and arrangement of a related series of dance movements and patterns organized into a coherent whole.

https://www.legalzoom.com/articles/how-to-copyright-a-dance

The composition and arrangement of dance movements and patterns are copyrightable as choreographic works, provided they meet two criteria:

The dance must be your original work: it must originate with you and show some minimal level of creativity.

The dance must be fixed in a tangible object. This might include a film or video recording of the dance, or a precise written description in text or in a dance notation system. An idea for a dance is not entitled to copyright protection, nor is a dance that has been performed but not notated or recorded.

A dance does not have to tell a story or be presented before an audience to receive copyright protection.


I think Epic would've been fine using the dance had they not copied it 100% and monetized it.

TopicWhat are your honest thoughts on da #MeToo movement?
CommonStar
12/14/18 12:21:34 PM

Me Too began in 2006 by Tarana Burke as a movement to empower women of color that have experienced sexual abuse. It was meant to provide a voice for the victims of sexual abuse in low-income and underprivileged communities.

In 2017, Alyssa Milano started using the Me Too phrase to encourage victims of sexual abuse and harrassment to share their stories and bring attention to how common the behavior is even when we don't realize it.

Unfortunately, the recent movement seems to only highlight victims that are in the upper echelon. It ignores the people that the original movement was meant to focus on. Though, I don't think Alyssa Milano had that intention in mind and I believe that she probably knew of Tarana Burke when she tweeted the phrase.

Overall, I think the movement has done a lot of good in exposing some people in high places, but I think it needs to also look at those victims in underpriveleged communities as well.
