WHO IS BRAINGASM-X?!?!? throws students into a Supreme Court–level collision between parody, copyright, fair use, comics, politics, and pop culture. Students must argue whether a provocative artist's superhero-inspired works are protected expression or actionable infringement — while navigating litigation strategy, media optics, and the brutal economics of modern IP warfare. hey thought the characters were untouchable. They are recognized as the World's Greatest Superheroes. DC & Marvel believed nobody would dare. Until somebody did, a mysterious masked street artist that goes by the tag: Braingasm-X. Nobody knows his real name. Nobody knows where he lives. Is he a genius, a criminal, a revolutionary, he might be the most dangerous artist of in a generation. His paintings - provocative - evocative - thought provoking... detonated the art world. Collectors fought to own them. Lawyers demanded they be removed... but fans couldn't stop talking about them. Braingasm-X didn't paint superheroes. He dragged them out of fantasy and into the real world. Into politics. Into censorship. Into power. Into corruption. Into hypocrisy. Into the cultural battles tearing society apart. Billion-dollar corporations want answers...but the zeitgeist controls the question. This Summer Creativity Goes on Trial. Who owns imagination. Who controls culture. WHO IS BRAINGASM-X?

I AM MOON MAN® turns entertainment law into a full-scale brand war involving copyrights, trademarks, contracts, talent agency law, nightlife culture, social media empires, merchandising, comic books, anonymous performers, and millions of dollars in disputed intellectual property. The mysterious DJ MOON MAN is selling out shows and festivals world-wide. No one has ever seen his, or her, true face...but if someone did, would it even be the correct face? Inspired by real world entertainment industry dynamics and played in the style of a "Live" client file, I AM MOON MAN forces students to think like real-world entertainment lawyers - balancing legal doctrine, business leverage, human emotion, branding strategy, and litigation risk. Players can't merely identify issues! Players must use their legal and life skills to determine WHAT IS MOON MAN? With so much input from so many individual, WHO IS MOON MAN? Two very different people with different skill sets both claim, "I AM MOON MAN." Is either correct? Are both? Who truly owns the MOON MAN identity and business? Can MOON MAN survive without its true creator? PROJECT: I AM MOON MAN forces players into a game of...what happens when a fictional character becomes more valuable than the person behind, or inside, a story.

based upon a real lawsuit! NIKE v. KOOL KIY is not a fake classroom hypo about “likelihood of confusion.” It’s a full-contact intellectual property war where art, hype culture, sneakers, street art, branding, litigation strategy, and billion-dollar corporate power collide... in real time. Students inherit a bleeding client: a Brooklyn sneaker artist trapped in a catastrophic federal lawsuit with sneaker behemoth Nike. The client’s current legal team may have already destroyed his future. Now you must decide whether to fight, pivot, negotiate, redesign, leverage culture, weaponize business reality, or save the client from himself. This project forces students to think like actual entertainment and IP lawyers --- not law students memorizing buzzwords. One bad strategy could bury the brand forever. Will your students be the savior...or the shovel?

Students are hired as entertainment counsel to a booming restaurant chain accused of cashing in on dead celebrity identities without permission. The deeper they dig, the uglier—and more fascinating—the business realities become. This project forces students to confront one of entertainment law's hardest truths: sometimes the entire business model is built on borrowed fame. Behind the velvet ropes, candlelight, and martinis sits a brutal legal question: where does homage end and infringement begin?

A no-escape, high-stakes negotiation where only 10,000 oranges exist, and both sides need them all. In Fruit Fight: Battle of Valencia, students weaponize leverage, deception, empathy, and deal structure under a ruthless "Fill or Kill" clock. One side is curing cancer in children; the other has multi-million-dollars of investor funds comitted - both are telling the truth, and both are lying. There is no mediator. No delay. Just outcome. The lawyers have 30 minutes, to surface every negotiation instinct, and get it done. Ethics? Please. All that matters is strategy, and maybe creativity. This isn't theory. This is a negotiation pressure cooker. Who will win?...or will everybody lose?
