I was aware of Neil Gaiman's legal battles over Angela, Cogliostro and Medieval Spawn but I had no idea the extent to which later issues would continually refer back to ideas which were outsourced.

And for years, the passengers and crew of the vessel Orpheus found the endless void between realities to be a surprisingly peaceful home. Spawn: Hell On Earth.

  • United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN NEIL GAIMAN, et al., Plaintiffs, v. Case No. 02-CV-00048-bcc TODD McFARLANE, et al., Defendants. THE McFARLANE DEFENDANTS’ BRIEF IN OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR ORDER DECLARING GAIMAN’S INTEREST IN CERTAIN COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS Defendants Todd McFarlane and Todd McFarlane Productions, Inc. (together, the “McFarlane Defendants”) submit this brief in opposition to plaintiff Gaiman’s motion for an order declaring that he has a copyright interest in the following three comic book characters: Dark Ages Spawn, Tiffany and Domina (the “Pending Accounting Motion”). INTRODUCTION As more fully discussed below, there are three distinct and fully sufficient grounds on which to deny the Pending Accounting Motion: 1. Mr. Gaiman is improperly attempting, through a post-judgment accounting procedure, to expand the judgment in this action to grant him an ownership interest in three additional copyrights despite having never asserted any such claim in the lawsuit. In particular, the three characters at issue in his motion were never raised in any fashion whatsoever—or even mentioned—in his pleadings or at trial in this case. Now, after judgment, Mr. Gaiman seeks improperly to supplement the record with hand-selected images that are misleading in their appearance. Due process requires that any adjudication of these new claims concerning additional characters be one in which the evidence can be tested, authenticated and explained to a trier of fact. A quasi-administrative, post-judgment accounting procedure is not the proper time or place, and this Court should reject Mr. Gaiman’s effort to obtain by way of motion what he has never sought by way of trial.

WITH A N EXPOSITION OF' THE FIRST DEGREE OF' THE EGYPTIAN RITE Translated from the French by HORACE PARKER McINT03R, 33° Hon. (Reprinted from the New Age Maga.zine.) WASHINGTON, D.

Looking at thy so attractively decorated private theater, wherein thou aetedst and livedst, what hand but itches to draw aside thy curtain and, turning the whole inside out, find thee in the middle thereof ?"- CARLYU, : J\lJ isc ella.neo1ts Essays. N the Rue de Beaune, Paris, a few doors from the house where Voltaire died, is a shabby genteel little hostelry, dating back to pre-revolutionary I times; to the old regime of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. You ring the bell of the concierge's office, and the wrought-iron gates open with a clang. Mine host welcomes you at the portal and, with the airs and graces of an aristocrat of the eighteenth century, ushers you up to the state bedroom. Ah, that bedroom, so old and quaint, with its huge four-post bed, garnished with faded. red curtains and mounted upon a raised dais. The chimney-piece is carved and bears the half-obliterated escutcheon of the builder of the man­ ~ion-a noble of the old regime. Over the mantle hangs a large oval mirror set in a tarnished gilt frame.

  • Holy Fandom, Batman! Commercial Fan Works, Fair Use, and the Economics of Complements and Market Failure
    THIS VERSION DOES NOT CONTAIN PAGE NUMBERS. PLEASE CONSULT THE PRINT OR ONLINE DATABASE VERSIONS FOR PROPER CITATION INFORMATION. NOTE HOLY FANDOM, BATMAN! COMMERCIAL FAN WORKS, FAIR USE, AND THE ECONOMICS OF COMPLEMENTS AND MARKET FAILURE Christina Chung* INTRODUCTION The average American spent $2,504 on media and entertainment in 2010.1 In addition to spending money, the average American spends about 2.7 hours per day watching television—and countless hours more reading, playing video games, and engaging in other forms of entertainment.2 Given the significant time and money that Americans spend on entertainment, it should come as no surprise that popular culture constitutes a major component of modern American life. For many consumers, passively engaging in entertainment— watching television, reading books, listening to music—is sufficient. Other consumers feel compelled to discuss their reactions to media with other entertainment consumers, whether they do so in person with friends and family, or online through message boards and forums.3 For many entertainment consumers, however, simply experiencing and discussing popular culture works is unsatisfactory. This particular subset of consumers known as fans—a term derived from the term “fanatic”4—often feels such an affinity to popular culture works that they respond to them with their own creative expression.5 The product of this expression can manifest in a wide variety of forms, including literary works such as fan fiction, audiovisual works such as fan videos, and pictorial works such as fan art.6 * J.D. 2013, Boston University School of Law; B.A. English 2010, Cornell University. I would like to thank Professor Wendy Gordon for serving as a spirit guide in the crazy mixed up world of copyright, Jen Neubauer for her keen editing and guidance, and Eric Auerbach for his love of economics—without them, this note would not have been possible.

The one remaining matter for the court’s determination is plaintiff Neil Gaiman’s motion to compel defendants to turn over all documents in their possession relating to income attributable to three characters known as Domina, Tiffany and Dark Ages Spawn, featured in a series of comics written and published by defendants Todd McFarlane, McFarlane Productions and TMP International, Inc. The issue in dispute is whether the three characters are derivative of two characters known as Angela and Medieval Spawn that are subject to the parties’ joint copyright interest. The parties agree that they are co-owners of Angela and Medieval Spawn. Defendants 1 Case: 3:02-cv-00048-bbc Document #: 323 Filed: 07/30/2010 Page 2 of 14 do not contest plaintiff’s right to an accounting and division of profits for the posters, trading cards, clothing, statuettes, animated series on HBO, video games, etc. that feature those characters. The dispute is limited to information about the profits earned from Dark Ages Spawn, Tiffany and Domina, which defendant has refused to provide to plaintiff. Defendants contend that these characters are not subject to plaintiff’s copyright because they were based solely on plaintiff’s ideas and not on any physical expression of those ideas.
