NERF NATION ARENA INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY$99.99

NERF NATION ARENA INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

Author: John Taddeo

Nova Southeastern University

HEROES WANTED.

NERF NATION ARENA turns a fast-growing foam-blaster entertainment league into a high-stakes securities and business-law crisis where the real danger is not the game — it is raising money illegally. Built around the explosive growth of a fictional competitive entertainment startup, the project forces students to navigate private placements, investor solicitation rules, securities exemptions, sponsorship deals, liability exposure, corporate structure, influencer marketing, and the razor-thin line between aggressive fundraising and securities fraud. Students must advise founders desperate to scale quickly without triggering catastrophic SEC attention. This project transforms startup hype, entertainment culture, and entrepreneurial ambition into a brutally realistic exercise in modern capital investment law and securities.

PUBLIC HUMILIATION: Mike Roddick Has Two Small Problems$39.99

PUBLIC HUMILIATION: Mike Roddick Has Two Small Problems

Author: John Taddeo

Nova Southeastern University

Mike Roddick has a Small Problem - Copyright Infringement!

Michael "Mike" Roddick built Mike's Discount Video, Inc. into a surprisingly huge business selling public-domain movies at very small prices. Then one tiny cease-and-desist letter, and then another, created one enormous problem: apparently some films can be public domain-without actually being "Free to Use." ...but how? Now, Mike has an even bigger idea. Trading cards. Shirts. Mugs. Posters. Merchandise built from It's a Wonderful Life, Night of the Living Dead, and the Superman Fleischer Cartoons...because again, all are in the Public Domain, right? Wrong. Every one of those films carries surviving rights somewhere, but from where? Meanwhile, Anna (the upstairs neighbor that Mike is dating) and Mary (the downstairs neighbor that Mike is dating) have just learned that Mike is a cheat. With Anna controlling Mike's water and electric (which comes from above) and Mary controlling Mike's heat and garbage chute (from below) Mike is completely screwed. Will he go bankrupt? Will he survive a copyright infringement lawsuit? Mike Rodick's fate is in your hands.

One side is saving children from cancer; the other is launching a viral, multi-million-dollar product. There is no mediator. No delay. Just outcome. In 30 minutes, you will surface every negotiation instinct—ethics, strategy, pressure, and creativity. This isn't theory. This is how deals actually get done.

OH! WHAT A FIGHT…$49.99

OH! WHAT A FIGHT…

Author: John Taddeo

Nova Southeastern University

…One Way or Another, Everybody Wants a Piece

OH WHAT A FIGHT transforms copyright law, music licensing, sampling, and derivative works into a globe-spanning entertainment industry war involving Flo Rida, The Four Seasons, French pop icon Claude François, viral EDM remixes, and a mysterious masked DJ known as MOON MAN. Built like a real client emergency, the project forces students to untangle overlapping ownership claims, international licensing disputes, mechanical licenses, sound recording rights, and modern remix culture while advising a celebrity client facing multiple lawsuits. This is not abstract copyright theory hidden inside appellate opinions. It is the modern music business operating exactly where law, money, fame, streaming culture, and commercial exploitation violently collide.
