In August of
2013, Tyler Perry won his infringement
lawsuit for “Good Deeds.” Let me
just say that, “I loved him in this movie, especial the scene with him having
sex with the girlfriend.” Laugh Out Loud!
Can you
believe it; someone tried to sue him for this movie? When you have as much
money as Mr. Perry everyone is coming at you for something or another and it’s
quite sad that it’s for something that he created. There are so many movie ideas out there that
they’re all going to start showing the same thing eventually. Haven't you noticed that the same movies are being cast over and over again but with new
faces to make them look fresh; just look at the “Superman” movies or “Spiderman?”
Writers are running out of ideas so they go back to what worked in the first
place and try to decide how they can make it new or fresh by attaching a two to
it; like Speed 2, or Hangover 2.
Quite frankly
Mr. Perry is such an easy target for these sorts of legal claims but fortunate
for him he actually has the money to fight them. You have to admit that it must
be draining for him to have to take time out for these sorts of things because
he has to show up in court to defend himself over and over again. The bad side is that the person suing him actually get's free advertisement.
The sad thing
is that when you’re sued so many times with the same claim people start
talking. You know how we are? We start spreading
rumors and all; not thinking about if they’re true or not. Mr. Perry will
really have to think about this because he doesn’t want to tarnish his perfect
image. People don’t really support “Tyler Perry” the Company but they
support Tyler Perry the man. Are you feeling me? Image is such an important
part of his character as a man in this industry. He really needs to put some sort of
disclaimer on his webpage to say that he doesn’t accept other peoples (writers)
work; no unsolicited material. I believe that this will make it
clear to people that if you send your work to him it will go in the trash and
actually put it in the trash.
Unfortunately,
for Mr. Perry he has another lawsuit to go through. Yes, someone else is claiming that he stole
their idea. People you cannot copyright
an idea; so claiming that he stole your idea for a movie or a book most likely
will be dismissed by the judge. Always
remember that the burden of proof lies with the Plaintiff; so they have to
prove their case. It’s not as simple as
it sounds because it’s a process and when you’re dealing with the courts it’s a
long process.
Hopefully Mr.
Perry doesn’t have to face any more of these frivolous lawsuits but when you
have money and fame it’s usually attached to a negative side; lawsuits are one
of them. I really hope he wins this new lawsuit because it must be so much to
handle these crazy things and run a million dollar company. Well, here’s to a better year Mr. Perry and to
all of you, “much love from your girl,” Lady PJ.
