This is a U.S. Supreme Court decision that provided guidance for litigants pursuing any copyright infringement claims that might later be brought in the federal courts. The decision in Campbell is still good law today. To understand the case, it is necessary to listen to the two different versions of the Roy Orbison song, “Pretty Woman”. This song is well known to most people even decades after its first recording in the 1960’s. Next, listen to the second version, recorded by 2 Live Crew, which is less well known. Finally, watch the video interview with Luther Campbell, the lead singer for 2 Live Crew, as he explains his views about the case. Which side should win this case? Why? Are you aware of any other copyright infringement cases involving similar facts?
