506 Words3 Pages

The rise of electronic commerce platforms has created legal and ethical challenges related to protecting intellectual property (IP) rights (Alfino, 1991). One case illuminating these complexities is the Lisa Coppola LLC v. Higbee matter. In this essay, we will scrutinize and contemplate the pivotal legal and ethical concerns raised in the case, analyze its significance for the electronic commerce industry, consider how merchants can be shielded by IP laws, and propose solutions grounded in an appreciation of IP rights. Background of Lisa Coppola LLC v. Higbee In 2020, Lisa Coppola LLC, which operates under the name of The Coppola Firm, filed a lawsuit against Mathew K. Higbee, Esq., and Higbee & Associates, citing fraudulent practices related to copyright infringement claims (Lisa Coppola LLC v. Higbee). According to the plaintiff's …show more content…

The amended complaint contained more detailed allegations, explicitly accusing the defendants of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, a federal law dealing with organized crime and racketeering activities. The defendants have yet to respond to the new allegations, and the case is still ongoing. Key Legal and Ethical Concerns The case raised various legal and ethical issues, warranting careful attention and analysis. Primarily, it underscored the importance of protecting intellectual property (IP) rights in the digital age, as the defendants' alleged scheme took advantage of the ambiguity surrounding online content usage rights (Alfino, 1991). This ambiguity, in turn, poses a significant threat to both creators and users. Secondly, the emerging ethical concerns pertained to the defendants' tactics, which seemed designed to intimidate individuals into settling without proper legal recourse. Such behavior raises serious questions about the ethical conduct of legal practitioners in pursuing copyright

The second trial I attended was a personal injury civil jury trial with Judge Carrier. This was a rather interesting case of Jennifer Wolfe VS D & W LLC. Within this case, Jennifer Wolfe attended a bachelorette party eight years ago with her now sister-in-law, who was the maid of honor. The story started out with everyone meeting at a house and the maid of honor was mad that the designated person to bring alcohol, forgot to bring the alcohol.

Lawrence Lessig’s research on piracy and copyright laws suggest the issue began long before Napster’s free website of burning music for personal use. In fact, stolen content was first documented one hundred years ago when Thomas Edison’s inventions were stolen before copyright laws were in place. Moreover, Lessig compares piracy and loopholes throughout history. Thomas Edison’s phonographs and Henri Fourneaux’s player pianos (used to record music) forced copyright laws just as cable companies’ piracy techniques forced copyright laws.

Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. v. Hialeah The First Amendment to the United States Constitution reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” The Supreme Court continually adjusts its interpretation of the framer’s words, using purposefully vague definitions of religion and religiosity as the basis for their rulings on the application of the Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses. Each court employs their own understanding of religion to every case, rendering constitutional judgments that are often more based on an individual Justice’s interpretation of what can be considered religious than on a strict adherence to judicial precedent or the application of constitutional

(2) “RICO law refers to the prosecution and defense of individuals who engage in organized crime. In 1970, Congress passed the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act in an effort to combat Mafia groups. Since that time, the law has been expanded and used to go after a variety of organizations, from corrupt police departments to motorcycle gangs. RICO law should not be thought of as a way to punish the commission of an isolated criminal act. Rather, the law establishes severe consequences for those who engage in a pattern of wrongdoing as a member of a criminal
