The Simpsons is one of my favorite shows of all time. And this is one of the best episodes. Chester J. Lampwick claims he invented Itchy & Scratchy (and the whole concept of cartoon violence). With the help of Bart and Lisa, he files suit against Itchy & Scratchy Studios and Roger Meyers Jr., the head of the studio. Obviously, they hire Lionel Hutz to litigate....

I get asked a lot about whether being a practicing attorney is like being a lawyer on TV. I love watching legal movies and courtroom dramas. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a lawyer. But sometimes they make me want to pull my hair out because they are ridiculous.
Today I'm taking a break from representing clients and teaching law students how to kick ass in law school to take on lawyers in the movies and on TV. While all legal movies and shows take dramatic license to make things more interesting (nobody wants to see hundreds of hours of brief writing), many of them have a grain of truth.
This is part of a continuing series of "Lawyer Reaction" videos. Got a legal movie or TV show you'd like me to critique? Let me know in the comments!

    While that is somewhat true, they also take a lot of inspiration of Disney. The first Itchy cartoon is steamboat Itchy, which is a clear reference of Mickey Mouse' first cartoon Steamboat Willy. The whole studio behind Itchy and Scratchy is very reminiscent of Disney, with Roger Mayer Sr. being a frozen head referecing all the rumors that Walt Disney actually froze himself.

    This sadly enough reminds me of the fact that a guy named Bill Finger mostly created Batman and a lot of the Batman Villains. He did it with Bob Kane. Bill Finger died a pauper receiving no credit. There is a documentary about this. There was a trial I believe. It's a truly sad story. It's a really interesting story to learn about. Bill Finger deserves at least partial credit.

    To be fair it was a little more nuanced than that and he didn't get shafted quite as badly as the guys who made Superman - at the time of Batman's creation he simply wasn't interested in taking credit as noone imagined it would lead to anything more, and generally people looked down on the profession. Bill Finger didn't recognise his own contribution in his own time, but at least being acknowledged now

    I was about to say [until you pointed it out,] copyright law in 1919 wasn't the same as today where you get automatic copyright. Night of the Living Dead is a perfect example of this. The studio changed the title at the last minute which meant they had to update the movie to show the new title. In the process, they forgot to include the copyright notice and it fell into the public domain.

    "Who is the voice of Chester Lampwick?" Ah, classic Simpsons, when celebrity cameos were written to serve a function of the story, rather than to just exist as obvious cameos. It never even occurred to me that Chester was voiced by a celebrity, even after all these years. I didn't recognize his voice, so I just assumed it was one of the regular voice actors. A lot of these similar cameos I've missed over the years, and DEFINITELY upon initial viewing as a child.

    As an artist and musician, I’ve often heard the myth of a “Poor Man’s Copyright”. This is where one mails a copy of ones creation to themselves and keeps it unopened. The idea is that this gives proof of the date of creation. Now, I call this a myth because I’ve read many times that it just doesn’t have legal standing. However, I’ve also read here and there that it does. Would you be willing to make a video on this topic? There are a lot of creative folks on KZread and I’m sure they’d love to learn more about this topic. It is right up your alley.
