This Is More Like It

This is one of the things that I think make Professor Marbury such a great professor. We’re talking about the originality requirement for copyright and he’s using “Dogs Playing Poker” and a lawsuit involving a rap artist using the phrase “Back that Ass Up” (as opposed to “Back that Azz Up”—Apparently the first artist is OK with not having his works sold at Wal-Mart).

It takes what might otherwise be a very dry set of material and makes it entertaining. More importantly, he shows us how this is applicable in real life and in future legal practice from the very first class. Even when we’re talking about theory, he sprinkles in small examples of that theory in action.

I wish all of my professors were like him.
