Peterson Corporation wanted to run an ad campaign that featured popular songs sung by the original singer. The aim was to make a

n 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.

Answer:

Misappropriation refers to the use of another person's intellectual property including their name or likeness without prior permission from the person which can then cause harm to that person.

This is indeed an example of misappropriation because the company tried to use Bette's likeness in the commercial. After being rebuffed by Bette saying that she does not do commercials for whatever business or personal reasons known to her, they still sought to use her popularity and image to make their products more popular.

To do so they hired a backup singer and told her to sing as much like Bette as she could so much so that even Bette's close acquaintances thought that it was Bette. If her close acquaintances could think it was her, imagine the general public.

They therefore made it seem as though Bette did their commercial which then would mean that Bette does in fact do commercials which would do damage her assertion that she does not do same. This would bring harm to her business relationships if for instance she had rebuffed other companies in the past when they sought her to do their commercials.

This is a case of Misappropriation and Bette should sue.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

14,783.33 bonds

Explanation:

Given

Par value FV = $1000

n =20 * 2 =40

R= 7.80/2 = 3.90%

Price per bond:

price per bond :PV = \frac{FV/}{(1+r)^n}

     = \frac{000}{(1+0.039)^{40}}

      = \frac{1000}{4.619786467}

      = 216.46

No. of bonds to be issued = \frac{amount to raise}{ price per bond}

                                           = \frac{3,200,000}{216.46}  

                                            = 14,783.33 bonds
