    Copyright in Teams Anthony J. Caseyt & Andres Sawickitt Dozens of people worked together to produce Casablanca. But a single person working alone wrote The Sound and the Fury. While almost all films are produced by large collaborations,no great novel ever resulted from the work of a team. Why does the frequency and success of collaborative creative production vary across art forms? The answer lies in significantpart at the intersection of intellectualproperty law and the theory of the firm. Existing analyses in this area often focus on patent law and look almost exclusively to a property-rights theory of the firm. The impli- cations of organizational theory for collaborative creativity and its intersection with copyright law have been less examined. To fill this gap, we look to team- production and moral-hazardtheories to understandhow copyright law can facili- tate or impede collaborative creative production. While existing legal theories look only at how creative goods are integrated with complementary assets, we explore how the creative goods themselves are produced. This analysis sheds new light on poorly understood features of copyright law, including the derivative-works right, the ownership structure ofa joint work, and the work-made-for-hire doctrine.

  • Legends of Screenwriting “Richard Maibaum” by Ray Morton
    Legends of Screenwriting “Richard Maibaum” By Ray Morton Screenwriters are generally a cerebral lot and not usually thought of as men (or women) of action, but Richard Maibaum certainly was, especially when it comes to writing about the adventures of a certain British secret agent with a triple digit code name and a license to kill. Maibaum was born on May 26, 1909 in New York City. He attended New York University and the University of Iowa and then became an actor on Broadway. In 1930 he began writing plays, including 1932’s The Tree, 1933’s Birthright, 1935’s Sweet Mystery of Life (with Michael Wallach and George Haight) and 1939’s See My Lawyer (with Harry Clark). When MGM bought the rights to Sweet Mystery of Life to use as the basis for its 1936 film Gold Diggers of 1937 (screenplay by Warren Duff), the studio also signed Maibaum, who moved to Hollywood and began writing for the movies. Between 1936 and 1942 he wrote or co-wrote scripts for MGM, Columbia, Twentieth Century- Fox, and Paramount, including We Went to College (1936), The Bad Man of Brimstone (1937), The Lady and the Mob (1939), 20 Mule Team (1940), I Wanted Wings (1941), and Ten Gentlemen from West Point (1942). After the United States entered World War II, Richard spent several years in the Army’s Combat Film Division. Following the war, Maibaum became a writer/producer at Paramount, where he wrote his first spy movie— O.S.S. (1946), which was based on files and research provided by the actual Office of Strategic Services.

  • And He Strikes Like THUNDERBALL!
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ...and he strikes like THUNDERBALL! “The trouble about writing something specially for a film is that I haven’t got a single idea in my head! Ian Fleming to Kevin McClory – 29th April 1959 Fresh on the heels of the announcement that Danjaq LLC, the producer of the James Bond films, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), the long-time distributor of the Bond films, have acquired all the rights and interests relating to James Bond from the estate and family of the late Kevin McClory, after legal and business disputes that have arisen periodically for over 50 years – December 18th 2013 will see the auction at Bonhams (Knightsbridge) of a number of unique and historically important items related to the labyrinthine story of the writing and subsequent film project that would eventually evolve into the fourth James Bond film Thunderball (1965) – the Biggest Bond of All! The legal battles began when James Bond creator Ian Fleming turned the first James Bond script, which he co-created in 1959 with Kevin McClory and respected British screenwriter Jack Whittingham, into the novel THUNDERBALL (1960) excluding the two men from any credit. In 1961, McClory (initially together with Whittingham) sued Fleming for plagiarism and after 10 days he won not only significant financial damages but also the film rights to THUNDERBALL. In 1965 in a strained collaboration with the established Bond producers Harry Saltzman and Albert R. ‘Cubby’ Broccoli, Kevin McClory produced the film Thunderball starring Sean Connery as James Bond 007, directed by Terence Young with the main title theme famously sung by Tom Jones.

  • (1983) As 007'S Lesson in Adaptation Studies Traditi
    Accepted manuscript version of: Schwanebeck, Wieland. “License to Replicate: Never Say Never Again (1983) as 007’s Lesson in Adaptation Studies.” James Bond Uncovered, edited by Jeremy Strong, Palgrave Macmillan, 2018, pp. 163–84. Wieland Schwanebeck (Dresden) Licence to Replicate: Never Say Never Again (1983) as 007’s Lesson in Adaptation Studies Traditionally, the James Bond franchise existed outside the jurisdiction of adaptation studies, where the prestige of canonical literature frequently continues to overshadow the merits of film, especially popular blockbuster cinema. Though no-one working in adaptation studies would voice this attitude, the prevalent opinion still seems to be that cinema, as a ‘hot medium’ (Marshall McLuhan), “requires a less active response from the viewer” (Gjelsvik 256). Some go so far as to speak of a general “bias in favour of literature as both a privileged […] and an aesthetically sanctified field”, which may account for adaptation studies’s reputation as “fundamentally conservative” (Leitch 2008: 64f.) More recently, they have widened their focus and have gradually become more inclusive, investigating ‘lowbrow’ fiction and transmedial processes.1 Admittedly, this new inclusiveness entails certain dangers for the objects of their studies. Leaving popular franchises like James Bond out of adaptation studies certainly smacked of elitism and disdain, but it allowed them to retain a notable advantage which films that we more commonly perceive as literary adaptations don’t enjoy: they were treated as films in
