Peterson Corporation wanted to run an ad campaign that featured popular songs sung by the original singer. The aim was to make an emotional connection with people who remembered the songs. When Bette was approached to sing for the commercial, she refused saying she did not "do" commercials. Peterson Corporation still wanted to use the song, so they hired a backup singer for Bette and she was told to "sound as much as possible like the Bette record". The backup singer did the commercial, and people, even close acquaintances of Bette, thought it was her. Bette sued Peterson Corporation for wrongfully appropriating her likeness. Is it wrong to intentionally imitate a well known voice to advertise merchandise without the person's permission?
I will send you a link to access the textbook that contains the Chapter 27 and Chapter 28 readings.

lease review the detailed information given in the first Module - How to Navigate this Course. There are two parts for this Contract. We are looking for the ability to read and comprehend the contract so the appropriate contract clause can be applied to the questions connected with each contract. In order to answer the contract fact scenario, you will also need to be able to identify the legal concept that is applicable to the situation described. This is an analysis so please treat it as such. Your personal opinion is not appropriate. There are correct answers for the prompt. If a student discusses a different legal theory for answering the prompt, partial points will be given. In cases of complete or partial answers, textbook references are mandatory to support the remedy proposed by the student. A textbook reference that has no bearing on the remedy or legal arguments will be counted as "no text". For example, if any contract has an issue of risk of loss, referencing the text on contract formation will not meet the requirement. The sections of the textbook that you have read contain all the information you need for this analysis. You should only use Chapter 35. Please remember to reference the applicable parts of the contract that you are using to answer the prompt. A student will be given 6 points for the textbook reference, 6 points for the contract reference (the actual section), with 27 points for the analysis itself. The remaining 6 points will be given as a spelling/grammar score. Following is the prompt. Residential House Lease The following prompt is based on the Residential House Lease found in the Contracts Module. Please reference the Lease by section number as you answer the prompt. Remember to reference the textbook by chapter and section. Essay (2 complete paragraphs with text references to support your answers) Tamika, the landlord, refuses to fix a small leak in the roof that was there prior to the current tenant. Sam, the current tenant, has just discovered the leak after a heavy rain. The consequence is that black mold has been forming in the attic for quite some time. Sam still has significant time remaining on his lease. Sam has notified Tamika in writing by email of the mold and leak issue but has received no response. He is concerned about the premises becoming unsafe to live in. It has been 14 days since he emailed her his notification. What are all of Sam's options if Tamika declines to do the repairs?
At this point, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is well over ten years old. There have been numerous court challenges, and many state reforms have trickled down from the ACA. Based on what we have covered this term so far and using your own experiences, as well as the work you have done on your own project, share your thoughts. What impact could the ACA have on the health policy recommendations that you are proposing? Would the impact be positive, negative, or mixed? How so?
This assignment is designed to guide the students in evaluating their ability to apply the information they have learned about Landlord-Tenant Law to actual leases. This is a Landlord/Tenant lease agreement which is a contract. You are to consider it as a valid and thus enforceable contract. This makes any discussion of contract formation inapplicable. You will be given the lease and the prompt for that lease. You will answer each prompt as it is due. There will be no formal paper produced but there will be a short essay (3-4 paragraphs). The prompt will be posted in Canvas two weeks before the assignment is due. You can approach this lease contract as you would any problem you encounter in your life by setting up the framework you need to help solve the problem. What do the parties want (call it a remedy)? What are the facts that each believes supports their “remedy”? What does the contract say about their remedy? What does the law say about that? Now, can you come to a conclusion supported by the contract language and Landlord-Tenant law? If yes, then write it out. If not remedies are supported, then why not? You must support your conclusion with at least one textbook reference. If you use a quote from the text or contract to support your conclusion, then you must reference it. Do not use any chapter than the chapter on Landlord/Tenant law. Why are text references important? Contract language does not exist in a vacuum. It is written based on the law. It is critical, therefore, to cite to the text and the contract to support your analysis. There is no required format for this assignment as long as it is in Word.

This week we will be discussing the ethical dilemma between street crime and white-collar crime. First, you should read about the Ford Pinto case. Familiarize yourself with the facts of the case, and the outcome. Use Google - the search words Ford Pinto Lawsuit should bring up a ton of information Then, you should read Section 3 of Chapter 10. 1. You are to draft arguments that Lee Iacocca should have been prosecuted criminally. 2. Choose opposing posts and defend your position. Please respond to the Posts Below Thomas In the Ford Pinto case, Lee Iacocca's criminal prosecution would probably be unnecessary due to the absence of concrete evidence linking him to deliberate misconduct. It is possible that Iacocca was more concerned with making strategic decisions as an executive in charge of a big company like Ford than he was with the specifics of the Pinto's design. Even if it was a morally dubious choice, Iacocca may not have had a direct influence on the decision to put money above safety (Rossow, 2015). Moreover, compared to today, the regulatory climate governing automobile safety standards was less strict in the 1970s, which made it difficult to prove that Iacocca had committed certain legal crimes. Given the complexity of business decision-making and the absence of defined legal norms at the time, it could be challenging to show his direct involvement and intent to hurt customers in order to pursue criminal charges against him. If there was any misconduct connected to the Pinto case, civil remedies like fines or settlements could be a more suitable course of action than criminal prosecution. In civil action, it is not necessary to establish unlawful intent without a reasonable doubt in order to resolve disputes and compensate damages (Rossow, 2015). It is also critical to take into account the larger ethical framework that surrounded business decision-making in that time period. despite the fact that Ford's cost-benefit analysis of the Pinto's safety problems is heavily criticized, it is essential to acknowledge the moral inconsistencies and conflicting interests at play (Rossow, 2015). Given the facts, seeking civil instead of criminal action against Iacocca seems to be a more appropriate course of action, reflecting the complexity of the case while providing for responsibility and justice. References Rossow, M. (2015). Ethics: An Alternative Account of the Ford Pinto Case. Dawn Jenkins Lee Iacocca was part of a large team at Ford. Many people were involved in making decisions about the Pinto, not just him. It's hard to blame just one person for these team choices. To charge someone with a crime, you require strong proof that they did something wrong on purpose. Finding evidence that Mr. Iacocca ignored safety on purpose would be very difficult because so many factors and people were involved. Back in 1971 when the Pinto was built, the rules about car safety were not as strict as they are now. It is not fair to judge past actions by today's standards. Lee Iacocca did many good things for the car industry and for Ford. It is important to recognize his positive contributions, not just focus on the Pinto issue. Government agencies that check if cars are safe had no problem with the Pinto being sold. This suggests that the Pinto met the safety standards of that time, which makes it difficult to blaming Mr. Iacocca alone. In essence, arguing against criminal prosecution for Lee Iacocca in the context of the Ford Pinto saga requires an appreciation for the complexities of corporate decision-making, the stringent requirements for proving criminal negligence, the historical context of automotive safety standards, and the broader implications of regulatory compliance and individual contributions to industry practices.
