Copyright Disputes

Copyright lawsuits run the gamut from fairly straightforward -- such as the alleged infringement of a photograph -- to much more complicated, such as the claimed infringement of a computer program or movie, which can involve thematic theories that include the selection, arrangement, and coordination of elements.
