THE FIRST OF 3 ANNUAL SHOWCASES LEADING UP TO THE SEASON FINALE COMPETITION OF ALL QUARTERLY WINNERS...STAY TUNED
Each year, Independent/Artists create and subsequently market their projects (movies, songs, screenplays, cartoons etc.) to major entertainment companies/record labels, in hopes of seeking major distribution/recognition only to realize their dream has turned into their worst nightmare: their songs are heard on national radio stations produced/written by superstars, movies released, shown and distributed by major motion picture corporations, cartoons/movies shown on national television etc., years later, without the original Independent/Artist being credited nor compensated for their works. Essentially, their projects have been, allegedly, stolen by major superstars/producers/corporations etc., and their court cases subsequently dismissed by judges’ “opinions” on Summary Judgment Motions; essentially stating that there were no material facts in each of those cases; NONE of those cases could have won if allowed to proceed to trial. Most importantly, we allege that these dismissals have denied these Artists their Constitutional, Seventh Amendment right to an unbiased jury trial of their peers. Such allegations have been statistically validated by a Beverly Hills, California attorney and officer of the court: Attorney Steven T. Lowe, in his article titled "Death of Copyright, The Perfect Storm." November, 2010 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BVqtZ7KwIs ) where he stated that 96% (46/48) of all copyright infringement cases filed against major networks and studios, and the lower courts within those circuits, (in two of the bigger circuits, New York and California) NEVER had to face a jury in copyright infringement lawsuits, IN THE LAST 20 YEARS! Is it realistic or conceivable that NOT ONE OF THOSE 46/48 CASES COULD HAVE WON...IN A 20 YEAR PERIOD? InJustice for All…Summary MisJudgment, is a groundbreaking Documentary which takes you through five multi-million/billion dollar copyright infringement lawsuits against major entertainment corporations/celebrities for some of the nation's most recognized works: Case 1) Holla'back vs. Young'N (Holla back)-Trajik and Carla B. Boone sued rapper Fabolous, Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo (The Neptunes) et. al. for alleged similarities to Trajik’s hip hop song Case 2) Pay the Price v. Drumline- Darryl D. Lassiter sued Dallas Austin and 20th Century Fox, et. al. for Drumline’s similarities to Lassiter’s movie Case 3) Bob Spongee v. Sponge Bob Squarepants- Troy Walker sued Steven Hillenberg, Nickelodeon and Viacom et. al. for SpongeBob SquarePants’ similarities to Walker’s cartoon Bob Spongee Case 4) Psi-Ops vs. Psi-Ops (MindGate Conspiracy)- William Crawford III sued Midway Games for Psi-Ops (Mindgate Conspiracy's) similarities to Crawford’s screenplay Case 5) No Harm No Foul/Bronx House vs. Life- Gregory L. Hudson sued Eddie Murphy and Universal Studios et. al. for similarities to Hudson’s stage plays We detail similarities/evidence, on the courts’ records, between the pieces, the law and the alleged legal/illegal maneuvering to get these cases dismissed “by any and every means necessary!” Additionally, documented, scholarly research/testimony is shown which we allege further validates these allegations of the ''Unfair, Unethical and Unconstitutional" nature of these dismissals. The negative/significant/adverse impact this process has had upon the lives, health, small businesses/careers/finances of hard-working, law abiding, tax-paying citizens are also discussed in detail. What incentive is there for anyone NOT TO STEAL INDEPENDENT/ARTISTS WORKS if we allow this trend to continue? For, if 96% of alleged criminals (bank robbers, pedophiles, rapists etc.) were allowed to NEVER have to go to trial and they were, subsequently set “Scott-free” (as are these major networks and studios) after being charged, the public outcry would be deafening...once they are made aware of this INJUSTICE! This piece has been produced to Educate, Entertain and Empower Independent/Artists, in addition to the public, nationwide, to collectively join forces to eradicate the Illegal, Unethical, Unjust and, more importantly, UnConstitutional dismissal of copyright infringement cases on Summary Judgment Motions and help prevent the ''Death of Copyright."** This documentary raises awareness of how Hollywood has, allegedly, stolen some of the biggest motion pictures, television shows, cartoons, songs etc...in the Name of the Law (Summary Judgment)…. eventually bringing creativity to its DEATH if this practice is allowed to continue.

PREMIERE..INJUSTICE FOR ALL...SUMMARY MISJUDGMENT, Producers Club 358 W. 44th Street, New York, New York
TICKETS: http://injusticeforall-eotw.eventbrite.com/ If 96% of all alleged criminals (bank robbers, home invaders, murderers, child molesters, rapists) were denied their Seventh Amendment, Constitutional Right to an unbiased jury trial of their peers and virtually, NEVER had to face a jury (their cases dismissed by subjective opinions of judges), the public outcry, rightfully, would be deafening (once the public was made aware of this Injustice)! We are now calling on this same public outcry by and for Independent/Artists everywhere! If you create songs, movies, cartoons...ANYTHING...we implore you to join us to witness and support some of the best and brightest talent in the industry performing their original poems, songs, etc. and engage in in on a detailed analysis and discussion of why registered copyrights are, virtually, meaningless and how critical it is for us to unify and fight to prevent the ''DEATH OF COPYRIGHT.'' For, 96% (46/48) of major networks and studios, accused of, allegedly, stealing billions of dollars of hard working American citizens' Intellectual Property virtually NEVER had to face a jury (in THE LAST 20 YEARS) when charged with, allegedly, infringing upon the copyrights of individuals’ movies, songs, video games etc. (copyright infringement of intellectual property). Summary Judgment rules and regulations specifically state that these cases should only have been dismissed "....if there was no way that the Plaintiff could have won…! "Is it conceivable or remotely possible that none of those 46/48 cases could’ve won, in a 20 YEAR PERIOD? This groundbreaking documentary, ''INJUSTICE FOR ALL...SUMMARY MISJUDGMENT,'' discusses the issue of Summary Judgment in detail and in concert with detailed evidence and similarities (in the courts’ records) of five nationally recognized pieces/compelling copyright infringement lawsuits filed with the federal judicial system; Case 1: Boone v.

Gregory L. Hudson will begin the process of shining the spotlight on the rampant, pervasive and what we believe are ILLEGAL dismissals of, initially, 4 of numerous Independent Artists' Copyright Infringement cases(in various entertainment media) as he Runs from his home in Queens New York to the steps of the Court of Appeals to personally deliver his Appeal Brief in Hudson v. Universal Studios..et. al (suit bought against Eddie Murphy and his distributors etc. for blockbuster movie LIFE) Gregory's Run is a pre-cursor to the soon to be released Documentary Judcial Wrongz of CopyRight Litigation..Summary Mis Judgment at which time will walk you through specific details of each of the 4 Court cases (Boone v. Jackson(Fabolous, Pharrell, Chad Hugo(the Neptunes), Troy Walker v. Viacom (Spongebob ) & Will Crawford v. Midway Games(Psi-ops, Mindgate Conspiracy.). This piece documents the specific, shocking and numerous detailed similarities ( on the courts' records )for each of these cases, the court Precedent and Law which supports the fact that, based on the specific substantial similarities between these cases that these cases should not have been dismissed in addition to the questionable strategies/practices/relationships of attorneys hired/contacted by the Independent Artists who have or have had pending lawsuits against these national superstars/multimillionaire defendant, as well as erroneous and questionable rulings by the Judges ruling on these cases. The Rally will start at 8:30am where we will await Gregory, at the steps of the courthouse, as he makes his historic Run4Justice. We demand our Seventh Amendment right to a Jury Trial of our peers; not a Trial by Judges!
