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.

Goryan [66]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

I believe that the main thing here that can favor my company is if there's documentation for every process involved with my dealings with Regina Fabrics.

This could have been solved if she didn't reject the cash that was offered to her company after two months, so there should be a formal documents that shows that she rejected the cash which should be acknowledged and signed by her. Also, the monthly payments received by her should be documented as well.

With regards to the above, if there is a formal documentation in place, then I won't have to pay as the guaranty but if this isn't in place, then I may have to pay since there won't be evidences against her.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Because there are other factors that influence the weakening or strengthening of the dollar, not just the dollar exchange rate in relation to the exchange rates of other countries' currencies.

Explanation:

Although the United States has registered increases in the trade deficit, that is, when the country imports more goods and services from abroad than it exports, there are other factors that determine whether the country's currency is valued or not. In the case of the dollar, its value has not decreased despite the fall in the exchange rate of the dollar in relation to the currencies of its main trading partners due to the fact that the dollar is the main reserve currency in the world, which means that the dollar is the fashion of commercial transaction in the world, therefore its value is not lost in relation to other currencies, since several important transactions in the world such as gold and oil commodities are traded in dollars.

There is also the fact that the US attracts a lot of international investment for US Treasury bills, which helps to strengthen the dollar.
