#THE LONE RANGER RADIO SHOWS TV#
It continues to claim, however, that Lone Ranger TV has not properly recorded the transfers of title in the scripts' copyrights, and thus may not sue for their infringement. 7 (West Supp.1983) (1909 Act) (publication of "adaptations.
Program Radio admits that Lone Ranger TV's licensed broadcasts, leases, and sales of recordings based on the scripts have not dedicated the scripts to the public domain for purposes of federal copyright protection. Lone Ranger TV's valid copyrights in the underlying scripts secure to it, as Program Radio admits, the right to produce derivative works from them. Program Radio argues that, in the absence of such separate copyrights, duplication and distribution of the tapes cannot amount to a federal infringement. Consequently, Lone Ranger TV has never registered any separate federal copyrights in the Lone Ranger tapes. §§ 101-810) (1976 Act), protection of sound recordings of copyrighted scripts was not extended to those "fixed" for playing before 1972.
When the 1909 Act was repealed by the Copyright Act of 1976, Pub. 1-216 (West Supp.1983) (1909 Act), did not permit owners of copyrights in scripts to copyright separately any sound recordings produced from them. The Copyright Act of 1909, Act of March 4, 1909, ch. We address first, the summary judgment of injunctive relief and damages for federal copyright infringement second, the summary judgment of damages for state law conversion of intangible property rights and last, the award of partial attorney's fees against counsel under 28 U.S.C. § 1927 if supported by a not clearly erroneous finding of wrongful intent, recklessness, or bad faith, see Barnd v. 1982), as does an award of attorney's fees against counsel under 28 U.S.C. The scope of an injunction, even on summary judgment, lies in the district court's discretion, see, e.g., Coca-Cola Co.
San Diego Marine Construction Corp., 708 F.2d 1483, 1487 (9th Cir. In reviewing a summary judgment, we consider the evidence in the light most favorable to the losing party, and determine de novo whether there is any genuine issue of material fact and whether the winner is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. It awarded Lone Ranger TV federal statutory damages, damages for state law conversion, attorney's fees under federal law, and costs. The district court had found counsel's motion, based on arguments of failure to register the copyrights and failure to record transfers of the copyrights, "patently frivolous." Finally, despite various arguments of estoppel, laches, unclean hands, innocent infringement, double recovery, federal preemption, and public domain, the district court granted summary judgment against Program Radio for federal copyright infringement and for conversion. After denying Program Radio's motion for partial summary judgment, vacation of the injunction, and return of some tapes confiscated under a writ of seizure, the district court ordered Program Radio's counsel to pay $1,100 in fees under 28 U.S.C. Fishy Foot Fetish:- Let the fish clean your feet.The district court permanently enjoined Program Radio from leasing the Lone Ranger tapes or otherwise infringing Lone Ranger TV's copyrights in the scripts.Wikipedia has a very good article on The Lone Ranger, the original characters, a section about the horses that were used in the TV series, and of course about the original radio series. Tonto was an Indian, and he usually referred to the Lone Ranger as “Ke-mo sah-bee”, meaning “trusty scout” or “trusted friend.” Like a lot of Good Guys, The Lone Ranger had a very good friend in Tonto who by the way didn’t enter the script until the 11th episode of the radio show. The Lone Ranger on his beautiful white stallion, Silver would be riding on the open plain and would shout “Hi-yo, Silver! Away!” Of course then someone would say “Who was that masked man anyway?” You just have to love these old shows. Over the years there has been reruns of the show, I remember this as one of the shows I used to watch when I come home from school. The show then went to TV and ran from 1949 to 1957, there was also movies made as well as comic books. As most of us know this became a huge success. This show originally started as a radio show back in 1933, and it premiered on the 30th of Jan, and the first of 2,956 episodes were on WXYZ a station that served the Detroit, Michigan area. There are a lot of people I’m sure that can remember The Lone Ranger.
