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.

Drop your students into the middle of a complete mess! A billion-dollar war between sneaker culture, street art, trademark law, trade dress, and corporate power. Based on a REAL federal lawsuit, students become outside counsel to street artist Kool Kiy, as they are forced to navigate infringement claims, consumer confusion, parody, trade dress, litigation strategy, Kiy's (awful) former law firm, and the dangerous gap between "inspired by" and unlawful copying. This is not abstract IP theory. This is modern brand warfare. Students must advise the client whether to fight Nike, settle, redesign, pivot, license, collaborate — or risk financial annihilation. Along the way, they confront one of the most uncomfortable realities in entertainment and branding law: sometimes the line between "artist" and "infringer" is worth millions of dollars.

Based upon the real-life entertainment industry work of author John Taddeo, Esq. during his time at Marvel and Fleer, this negotiation project drops students into the middle of a high-stakes battle over the creation of the legendary Marvel Masterpieces trading card series. Students become outside counsel negotiating between Fleer/Marvel and the world-famous Hildebrandt Brothers as millions of dollars in artwork, licensing rights, publicity, creative control, reproduction rights, deadlines, and collectible value hang in the balance. This is not abstract contract theory. It is entertainment law, intellectual property, and business strategy colliding inside one of the most influential comic collectible projects of the 1990s.

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?

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.

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.

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 created one enormous problem: apparently some films can be public domain—without actually being "free." 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. Unfortunately for Mike, every one of those films carries surviving rights somewhere above, below, or inside the work itself. Poor Mike. Now Mike Roddick has TWO small problems.
