Welcome to another edition of #IPThursday good people. This week we’re going through the battle between Epic Games’ Fortnite and several artists including the owners of the Milly Rock, the Carlton dance and the Floss.

Question: Are dance moves protected by Copyright? ImageImageImage
As usual, we gotta start at the very beginning. In 1991 Tim Sweeney founded the company Potomac Computer Systems. At the time Sweeney was a student at Maryland University in the USA. Image
The idea was for this to become a computer consulting company, however he ditched this idea soon thereafter and he decided to focus on making video games.

Welcome to #IPThursday again good people! This week we’re going through the story of Brenda Fassie and the legal issues surrounding her much anticipated Biopic.

NB: Special thanks to Prof @ZakesMda for helping me with some info on this one!
The star of our story today is none other than the Queen of South African Pop, MaBrrr, Brenda Fassie. Born on 3 November 1964, she is probably South Africa’s greatest ever entertainer.
MaBrrr began her music career as a child, singing for tourists in Cape Town, with the help of her mother. Even as a child, Brenda had big ambitions and so she did what a lot of us have done at one point in our lives, she left home to pursue a career in Joburg, Soweto to be exact.

Its #IPThursday again good people. This one if fresh off the news shelf, so I thought we’d go through it this week! Its Tracy Chapman v Nicki Minaj.

Question is, can one still sample a song when the owner says “No!!!” multiple times?
The star of our story today is Tracy Chapman, born March 30 1964, she is one of the most popular artists to come out of the US during the late 80s.
Tracy was raised by her single mother and she always had a passion and talent for music. Although she would perform at shows and coffeehouses, she never seriously pursued it commercially....until the 80s

Welcome to #IPThursday, where we go through cool IP stories with your Favourite Lawyer. Given that Apple dropped the new IOS this week, I thought we’d do the famous war of Apple vs Samsung, who’s corner are you in? Image
Our story begins in 2004, the CEO and founder of Apple Inc. Steve Jobs, or as we’d call him in Southern Africa “Stevovo”, wanted to get into the cellphone business. At the time, Apple’s primary focus was on computers, specifically the MacBook. Image
Although Apple had released the i-pad in earlier years, which had been a success, Jobs wanted to create a phone that would be just as easy to use, but would not go easy on your wallet.

Welcome to #IPThursday good people! Sorry for the wait. This week We take a look at one of Jay-Z’s biggest songs and the issue of moral rights. The question today is, should you have a say in how your song is sampled if you sold the rights to someone else. ImageImage
The first star of our story today is Beyoncé’s husband, 😂 I mean, Shawn Carter, better known by his stage name. Born in December 1969, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time. Image
Jay Z rose to fame in the early 90s. Initially, he was unable to secure a record deal, so he decided to form his own label, Roc-A-Fella-Records in 1995. He got to straight to work and released his album “Reasonable Doubt” the following year. It was a huge success! Image

Its #IPThursday again. This week we take a look at the dramatic story of the Ultimate Warrior‘s long war with Vince McMahon and the WWE. The question this week is, who owns the Character IP and the names of the wrestlers, the wrestler himself or the WWE. Image
Our story this week begins in 1982, Vince McMahon wanted to create a wrestling company that would be the biggest in the world. At the time, he worked with his father, Vince Senior, who owned a wrestling company. Image
There were a few other wrestling companies around at the time, but none that were big global brands. So in 1983 Vince and his wife Linda bought his father’s company and the WWF was born. Image
