Renee Renаissаnce is а lоcal up-and-cоming Cherоkee artist, writer, filmmaker and musician in OKC. Excited about the news of The Tulsa King project from Taylor Sheridan and Sylvester Stallone coming to the area, and inspired by locally-shot productions such as FX's Reservation Dogs, she decides to write, produce & direct a film called Rocki that is about a Cherokee female boxer who rises through the ranks of the Oklahoma boxing world and "goes the distance" with the state's reigning champ, another female boxer from the Muscogee Nation, Appollania Creed. There are also many other similarities between Rocki and the movie Rocky (1976) written by Sylvester Stallone and directed by John G. Avildsen, including Rocki, the film's protagonist, having a boyfriend named Adrian, a trainer named Mickey and pet turtles named Cuff and Link. Certain scenes such as training montages are nearly identical in both films (they both chase chickens, punch meat and do one-arm push-ups) but others are slightly different (Rocki runs around monuments around OKC like OCU Law, Paycom Stadium and Devon Tower and climbs the steps of the Oklahoma State Capitol Building instead of the steps outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art). Yet, in other parts of the film, Renee creates new content (scenes, characters, settings) that cannot be found in Rocky that portray and comment on the authentic Cherokee experience in Oklahoma. Renee also composes a piece of music for Rocki, and samples just a small portion of Bill Conti's iconic "Gonna Fly Now" theme from Rocky in order to make it the main theme song of her film (the rest of the song, however, is her original work and sounds quite different). The film is a smash indie hit and a critical darling at festivals like Sundance, Tribeca and SXSW. News of the film's success eventually reaches Sylvester Stallone himself, who is (for purposes of this hypothetical), the copyright owner of the original Rocky film as well as the "Gonna Fly Now" song (assuming that the copyright was transferred to him from Bill Conti). Question 2B: (25/50 Points)Assuming a lawsuit has been filed by Sylvester Stallone against Renee Renaissance based on the claims you discussed in Question 2A. Frantic, Renee turns to you as an up-and-coming IP & Entertainment Lawyer in OKC to help her out. What type of defenses can you advise her on, and what are her likely chances of success on those defenses?
