FreeI 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.

FreeTHAT'S EATER-TAINMENT: FRANK & DINO's ITALIAN RESTAURANT
Nova Southeastern University
Dead Celebrities. Live Lawsuits. Huge Profits.
THAT'S EAT-ERTAINMENT transforms a glamorous Boca Raton Rat Pack restaurant into a legal minefield involving Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., publicity rights, trademark law, copyright licensing, music usage, memorabilia, branding, and the economics of nostalgia. 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?

$29.99FCM ONE: It's All Foreign Currency to Me follows the launch of a high-risk online currency exchange startup built by one relentless founder working around the clock beside graduate students, coders, and quantitative analysts hired to translate massive financial formulas into functioning software under work-for-hire agreements. As the platform begins scaling internationally, the legal problems grow just as fast. Ownership of code, IP assignment, contractor classification, confidentiality, proprietary algorithms, and financial compliance collide inside a business where tiny formula errors can create enormous losses. The founder built the vision, funded the chaos, and pushed the project forward—but who actually owns the platform once everybody's code becomes part of the machine?

This project forces students into the middle of a modern intellectual-property war involving patents, product design, manufacturing, marketing claims, licensing leverage, competition strategy, and the dangerous gap between legal reality and corporate intimidation. Students must determine whether CRAZY CUPS truly owns groundbreaking technology—or whether the company is using aggressive legal threats to scare an entire industry into submission.
